How should wedding plans account for Ramadan fasting and prayer schedules?

Direct answer
Ask the families and venue how fasting, meals and prayer breaks will be accommodated, then agree a realistic event schedule.
Confirm local timings close to the date and avoid making guests rush between transport, worship and food service. Check arrangements for people who are not fasting without asking them to explain private health or personal circumstances. Communicate the plan before the event. This is considerate scheduling guidance, not a religious ruling about whether or how a wedding should be held during Ramadan.
