Start time

Ours is also 3:30 because its in the fall and starts to get dark quickly that time of year where we live!

Still finalizing our schedule but it's looking like a 6PM ceremony with our first look, wedding party pics, and some family pics starting around 4:30/5:00pm. We want to knock out most pics early when makeup is fresh and people aren't hangry. 😂 We're planning on sneaking off at some point to get our pics taken around sunset which is about 8PM in FL. (May) Our wedding festivities will end around 11pm.

Our ceremony is at 3pm and our reception is 330 to 830pm. Seems like a great time.

We decided on 2:00, that way we can have a buffet of light snacks rather than feeding a whole lunch or dinner.

We are doing an 11am start time. Saves us a ton and neither of us want to wait around all day!

Were starting 5pm -6 ceremony. 6pm to 9pm reception!

Our ceremony is at 1pm and then our reception runs from 2-9pm

We aren't big party animals so we decided to end things earlier than most weddings because that's what works for us.

If you're looking for a more "party" atmosphere, I would do it later at night!

We booked the time for the reception before we settled on the time for our ceremony (because they're in different locations). Reception starts at 5:30, so the Church officiant suggested 3:30 for the ceremony time - to allow plenty of time between for photos at the church, possibly a receiving line, etc. We decided that was better so people won't be rushing between places. It all depends on what you want/your venue's timing allowances.

Nooo, gives plenty of time to get ready. Plus, you'll be ready to get the festivities going.

Our ceremony started at 3:00

Our ceremony is starting at 3pm

Ceremony is at 5pm i wanted it to be closer to evening and off to reception til 12

I had a Catholic wedding and the ceremony started at 2:30pm. Dinner was served at 5pm, band finished around 11pm.

Our start time is 4 pm for our Sunday November wedding. That way the sun will just be starting to set, and we get our evening wedding. It ends at 9 with a sparkler Exit. We have our venue 5 hours and I didn’t want it to run too late so 4 is the default start time as a result. Dinner starts at 6:30 so I think it’s just right.

Ours is at 5 because we wanted a dinner. Cocktail hour from 5:30- 6:30 and dinner right after that.

Ours started at 2 pm on a Sunday.

Ours is 4-10pm with sunset at 8:20pm (long spring/summer days). I think 5-6 hours is plenty.

We're having like a small wedding/elopement and our ceremony will start at 1:30pm.

It all depends what month you are getting married in. My venue recommended starting my wedding at 6pm because it is in May so the sun will be setting and it won’t be 110 degrees.

Our ceremony is at 10:30 in the morning. We talked to our videographer about sunrise pictures and morning golden hour light!
