If someone wants 2 hours of a wedding day, then they won't be worried about quality. 2 hours is rediculously long and essentially means little or no editing. To me, that suggests that the client has a fundamental misunderstanding of 'film', and would be happy to have 'something' as long as they think you captured every nuance of the day in mind numbingly boring detail.
I've pretty much given people want they want in 5 to 10 minutes. If they want the whole speeches, or the whole ceremony you can supply this on a seperate DVD. To me, anything over 20 to 30 minutes would be torture. I want highlights, not the entire day from one or two angles. So that might give you an indication. To summarise, if someone wants more than 2 hours, give it to them and they won't care about quality. Trust me, I've been there!
