We finally have all of our main vendors planned, so now I'm starting to attempt finalizing our schedule.
We are having a tented backyard wedding, October 2, 2020 (Friday wedding), about 150-170 guests. Our ceremony and reception will be in the same location. The Groom and I will do first look and all bridal party pictures taken before the ceremony.
My dilemma is this - since it's a Friday wedding, I'm leaning towards starting later so people don't have to take a full day off work. On the other hand, since it's early October in IL, I'm thinking starting earlier so we get more day light during the cocktail hour and some of the reception (sunset will be around 6:30-6:45).
Any suggestions or advice? How did others schedule their day-of timeline for outdoor weddings?
Thank you!
