I think 11pm or midnight is a normal time for a wedding to finish.

YANBU to request a new room.

If you’re going to speak to them about a room change, you might as well ask them what time it finishes.

Absolutely request a room change.

Probably midnight or 1am, you might want to ask for a room change.

Eleven or more likely midnight. Very occasionally 1pm but that's usually only with special license and if the wedding has taken the entire hotel.

Of course there's likely to be another 30 minutes of loud goodbyes and waiting for taxies etc.

Usually midnight then staff tidy up the function rooms so noise could go on for a long time.

Any hotel reception I’ve been to has always ended at 1am.

Request a room change. At the last wedding I went to (I was staying at the venue in a room too) people didn't start settling down til 1.30-2pm. Running around the corridors, pissed and rowdy, and noisy. (The whole hotel was booked out so no-one was affected that wasn't at the wedding.)

I was top floor thankfully, away from most of all the rabble.

Serious question though, why on earth did you book an early flight after an all day wedding, knowing it will run into the late night?

Ours went on until 4am - the bar was open for guests at the hotel for as long as they wanted it to be. A large proportion of our wedding party stayed at the hotel so there were about 30 of us still going at that time.

So, basically, it'll depend what the hotel's policy is. A lot close their bars at 11pm, 12 midnight or 1am. As private events, the latest most weddings in hotels finish is 1am.

Give reception a call and ask for a room change.

I got married in a hotel in NI. Official party and music carried on until 1, but the residents bar was still serving at 5.
