Eight hours vs all day coverage
Eight hours is our standard and it fits most Long Island weddings. All day coverage extends the whole team end to end. Here is how to tell which one your day needs.
Option A
Eight hours
Option B
All day coverage
What eight hours covers
Eight hours covers getting ready, the first look, the ceremony, cocktail hour, golden hour portraits, and a full reception through the big dance floor moments. For most weddings it is exactly right, with room for the timeline to slip.
What all day adds
All day coverage extends everyone you booked from eight hours to the whole day, getting ready to last dance, and it folds in the after party.
It is the choice when your party genuinely runs late, when you have a large family with many groupings, or when you simply want the entire day kept.
How to decide
If your day is a standard timeline at one venue, eight hours is almost always enough. If the party is the main event or the day spans locations, go all day.
The bottom line
Eight hours fits most weddings with room to spare. All day is for couples whose celebration runs long and who want the night kept end to end, after party included.
