Start time

We are starting ours at 3pm. We are not doing a first look, so the timing works well for the ceremony, cocktail hour (photos), intros, and then dinner. Plus we will then be able to take more photos during the sunset

Our ceremony is 2:00-3:00, photos at church until 3:30. Cocktail hour starts at 5:30. It’s about a half hour drive from the church to the reception. We’re taking photos in between which I think gives enough time for guests to check in to the hotel.

I’m thinking of starting at 11:30 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am starting mine at 2. Mine is on a Sunday so a lot of people who will be their either have little kids or work the next morning.

Ours will start at 6pm evening wedding.

Ours is from 3p-9p!

We did 5pm ceremony and 6pm reception

We're having a casual morning wedding so our ceremony is at 11am! 3:30 sounds good to me

We’re catholic and our mass is at 1pm. I would’ve preferred like 1:30 or 2 but it’s better than having an 11am ceremony 😬

Ours is at 6:30 because we were looking to have a sunset ceremony in the summer.

Mine is at noon. We were thinking 1, but we kind of wanted noon because it’s a nice time of day in VT, not usually too hot or too cold.

I didn't realize most weddings are in the afternoon/evening. I chose 11 because I want it over with. No way I want to sit around all day with all that anxiety. My hair and makeup lady is coming at 7:30, so that should be fun 😬

View Quoted Comment My fiancé get up at 3 am everyday. There’s no way I could have an evening wedding and him not want to fall asleep. How many people is your hair and make up woman doing? I still need to hire one.

View Quoted Comment She is only doing me. I'm not having bridesmaids.


I agree, no way I could do late. My FH gets up at 4:30, and I typically get up with him or by 6. I pretend that I want to do it early so we can party that night, but I'm lying to myself. I wanna go to bed! 😂

View Quoted Comment Her and her team will have myself and 3 bridesmaids and a flower girl for hair and just myself for makeup

Our ceremony is at 530 and reception is at 630 but only because it's on a friday, we want to give people time to get home from work. 330 sounds great.

I am starting mine at 3pm

5 pm ceremony on a Friday. Reception until 9, then after party at D & B. Chose Friday, to give out of staters and excuse to get of work.
