Timeline / Getting Ready

I am having trouble with my timeline. We're getting married in December and will have ~100 guests. 10 people in the wedding party (5 on each side). Our venue contract is for 12 hours of time, and we could pay $200/hour to extend. We're doing 2 hairstylists for the bridal party (6 people including me) and we're all doing our own makeup. How much time to budget for getting ready? I'm trying to decide if I want to cough up an extra $600 for getting ready at the venue that has beautiful getting ready suites or ask my mom if we could use her house (30 minute drive from venue). What are your thoughts? Any timeline edits or issues?
