In my opinion:
Question1:
It's ok but probably you need invitation with two different wordings? (one invite people for ceremony only and one for both ceremony and dinner?)
Question 2:
It's good to offer guests refreshment but not a must. Not many of my friends' wedding offer refreshment after ceremony.
Also depends on ceremony location. If you have ceremony in say golf course then you have to get some food package. But if you have it in church then it's up to you to organize catering.

Say if your ceremony is at 2pm, then it probably goes until 4 (included some photo shoot time w/ friends/relatives).
Then between 4pm to 5pm, photo shoot around Vancouver! (UBC would be good coz you can take picture in the beach, or any architecture within UBC.
Then 5-6pm, makeup and change to another style, or have a break/drink.
6pm need to go to the dinner location la. 六時恭候，七時入席嘛.

So if your ceremony is 2pm, then pickup bride at around 11? depends on where u live la..coz need to allow some travel time too.
then after pickup bride, usually tea ceremony for about half an hour or so, then already 12 la. Then just have some light lunch, take off around 12:45 la, when ceremony is at 2pm people will start arriving after 1:30...so the wedding party should get there before 1:30 la...

Hope that will give u some idea...

The issue with outdoor wedding is that it always requires Plan B....not matter what time in the year...there is always chances for rain....
