Evening food or no evening food?

Would love some help on the timings of my day and food.
Getting married at 3, followed by tea/coffee/hot choc and cakes and mince pies while photos are being done.
5.30-6.30 entertainment at venue. 6.30-7 speeches,.
7pm food- two course sit down meal of something filling

There will be a sweetie buffet and the cake.

Just wondering if we should have any of the following. We could only afford one of the options:
Canapés on arrival at the venue
Turn the 2course into a 3 course meal (but starter options are a bit blah so not sure it would be especially filling)
Serve bacon/ sausage sarnies in the evening at maybe 9.30?

I just find it weird to think of eating at 7pm for an hour and then eating again soon after! I want to do the right thing be because the wedding is later than other weddings I've been to I can't just copy what they've done, and I can't make a decision because I don't know what is best.

Thanks.

Thanks for the thoughts!
I think we might move the dinner back by half an hour and maybe have some savoury food at the mince pie/cake bit.

I got married at 4 pm (summer wedding)
Photos at 5 pm
Pimms and small canapes at 6.15 pm
Hot Buffet (choice of three mains and two desserts) at 7.15 pm
Cake around 8.45 pm
No extra evening guests
Entertainment from 9.00 pm

Seemed to work well.
