I don't know if this is regional or not, but I "pshawed" at 30 min myself. I've been to weddings where the ceremony and reception sites were an hour + apart (e.g. wedding in CLE and reception past Canton, google map it if you're not from here, it's quite a distance.)

I will say that if the reception is not in the hotel where guests are staying, it is usually VERY close with shuttle service provided from reception to hotel (keeps people from driving.)

And my jaw dropped at the guests receiving bills for meals. I can't.
