Fred Meijer Garden wedding

So I've been looking at FMG for our ceremony/reception, but the room I want is only rented 6:30-11. If anyone has gotten married there or been to a wedding there, im wondering about timelines. I've thought about doing the ceremony somewhere else in the gardens, with some time for our guests to explore in between the ceremony and reception. But I'm not sure if that is realistic. I don't want to spend a lot of money, this venue is already more that I was thinking but I love it and want to make it work.


Alternatively, is 6:30p too late for a ceremony followed by the reception, with pictures earlier in the day? Thank you so much! I've been engaged a week and I'm not trying to get overwhelmed!
