    Evening. We're having our wedding on a Friday so the evening works best for guests to attend.

    Our ceremony starts 30 minutes before sunset so we can get golden hour photos. Reception will go through the night!

    Afternoon. We leave for our honeymoon very early the next morning and we want the elders to get home before dark.

    Evening wedding. We are getting married on a Friday so, figured this would be easier for guests who may work that day. Also, it gives us a more relaxed day to get ready and take photos without rushing around.
