Unfortunately, Soror AKAtude, my new husband of several hours thought we needed to see the last guests out of the joint! I, however, was ready to move onto other newlywed activities about three hours into the reception. Of course, we shut down the place, staying until the last minute!
I personally think the couple should leave BEFORE the reception is over, to let people bid them farewell and leave their guests doing their thing. Make sure you arrange for transport of any gifts that wind up at the reception. Of course, take the $$$$$$$ with you! Or have your best man/maid or matron of honor/parent keep it.
