Champagne brunch Wedding

That's not really a brunch wedding and it's pushing dinner time. People will be starving by 5:30. If you are going to do a brunch wedding, I would do it earlier in the day...around 11.

I agree that 1:30 - 5:30 is not a brunch wedding. We are having a brunch wedding and the ceremony is at 10:30am. This is more of a "lunch" wedding. This is totally fine. Just provide lots of good food and plenty of drinks and it will be great!

We are having cocktail hour at 11:30 and reception noon-3:00pm. We are having beer, wine, and champagne for mimosas.

Cocktail hour is 1:30-2:30. It's at a venue so there will be plenty of food. Omelette station and waffle bar along with carving stations for meats. Where did you ladies find invitations? Are you wearing traditional dresses? Or going simple?

Brunch means 9am - 2pm OP

We are having a brunch wedding (this Sunday, actually!) Our ceremony is at 11:00 am and brunch is from 12:00 - 4:00. We also will have a mix of foods for people who are not really into breakfast type foods. So in addition to the omelette station, bacon, french toast, etc., we will also have a pasta station, chicken francese, sausage and peppers, and other things. At the bar, we will have wine, beer, champagne, mimosas, bloody maries, and bellinis.

I think you should either shift the timeline so it's a little earlier, or make it a luncheon instead of a brunch. And I'd offer adult beverages other than champagne as well.

ETA: Just saw your comment. My venue actually doesn't do cocktail hours for brunch receptions, so we are just going right into the reception after the ceremony. And pretty much everything else is traditional...I definitely did not go simple with the dress ;-)

We aren't doing a cocktail hour. The hour between the ceremony and brunch starting, they will serve light refreshments and cold drinks (non-alcoholic) while the photos are finishing up and then the bar will open at 12:00. We're having mimosas, bellinis, bloody Marys and beer and wine.

In answer to your other question, my dress is not exactly simple but I stuck with lace instead of "bling" since I felt like being a Summer Sunday brunch wedding, bling would be a little out of place. Just my opinion though.

That's not brunch. Is your ceremony really only 15 minutes? With a processional and recessional? And you'll start exactly at 1:15?

Brunch weddings look awesome! You can do such fun food stations!

Brunch is in the morning, before noon. However, a LUNCH reception sounds lovely and makes sense.

It seems a little late in the day for brunch, but sounds lovely! I love the idea of early weddings.

FH and I are doing a brunch wedding. Our ceremony is at 10:30am which means I get to wake up at 5am to get ready. Good thing I love the mornings! Our cocktail hour is from 11-noon and includes apps and champagne and then we are having a four course brunch. Soooo much food, I cannot wait.

I am really excited that everything will wrap up around 2-2:30 and FH and I will have the entire evening to enjoy each other and rest before our honeymoon.

1:30 is not longer brunch. If I was invited to an event at this time I would eat a big breakfast before getting ready so I really wouldn't want to eat eggs and pancakes again.

Brunch weddings are awesome! Can you move your timeline up a little?
