St. Augustine wedding music, DJs and bands
A St. Augustine reception usually follows the same shape. Guests arrive around four, the ceremony is at half past, and cocktail hour runs from five to six. Introductions into the reception space happen around a quarter past six, followed by a first dance, dinner, speeches and cake, and then roughly two hours of dancing before the exit.
That leaves a dance set of about two hours on most wedding days, ending at ten. It is worth knowing before booking, because it sets how much music the night actually needs.
One timing note that catches couples out: the photographer will usually want the couple for golden hour, and in the winter months that falls much earlier in the evening. It does not change the reception timeline, but it does change when the couple disappears from it.

How long is the dance set at a typical St. Augustine wedding?
Around two hours. With a 4 p.m. arrival and a 10 p.m. finish, dancing usually starts after dinner, speeches and cake, which leaves roughly two hours.
What time does the music usually end?
Ten o'clock is the common end time for receptions here. Individual venues set their own curfews, so confirm with the venue rather than assuming.
When does the couple leave for photos?
Usually at golden hour, which photographers tend to ask for. In winter that falls considerably earlier in the evening than in summer, so it lands at a different point in the reception depending on the month.
