7pm Wedding Ceremony?

My guest list is roughly 65 people and I want to have a party reception. I have an amazing DJ and I know he will keep the party going!

I was thinking of perhaps starting my wedding ceremony at 7pm. What would I serve during a reception at this time.

I really want my guests to dress up (formal) and it be a glam event. I didn't want to confine people to tables but instead let it be a mixer type of event. I hope this makes sense! My ideas for my wedding have evolved over the last couple of days so I'm open to different suggestions.

Is 7pm too late to start the ceremony?

What time should it end?

Is a sangria a good alcohol option? (I want to keep the alcohol light but still provide it!)

What are some good food options for the reception?

Thank you!

    Hey everyone! Sorry Im just now checking in!

    For those worried about seating, I will definitely have enough chairs for every single person! I was also going to have tables for over half and then do high top tables.

    Yes, I am having everything catered! Smiley smile

    Thanks for all the drink suggestions! Ive only tasted a margarita so I have no clue lol

    I am still deciding on my time because everyone gave really good suggestions!

    Thank you ladies so much!

    Our ceremony is at 6:45, in our reception venue with table seating even for the ceremony. We are doing heavy appetizers rather than full dinner. It's not any cheaper, but it was our preference for variety. We wanted our ceremony totally candlelit, and have our venue until 1:30am so it's all working out perfectly. We are also doing sunset pics on the lakeshore just before the ceremony.
