Sunday Wedding ?

I am, lots of Jewish people do. Ours is starting at 3pm, reception beginning around 4, going until 9.

WE are doing a 5pm wedding. reception ends by 11p ish

Just start somewhat early and make your peace with some declines. But they're increasingly common.

We are doing a 6pm ceremony start, reception ends around 11

I was thinking about starting around 10am-12pm like around lunch time . Our guest list is really small no more than 30 guest . The ones we've talked to mentioned staying at least a week if we go this route . I just hate really inconveniencing people !

Realistically, any day you pick there will probably be someone that has to take off from work to attend.

I think since you plan on doing early afternoon it should be fine. I attended a sunday night wedding (reception ended at midnight) and it was a little annoying to me that they didnt consider the people that would have to go to work the next day.

We are ceremony will start at 6pm

My wedding will be during a holiday weekend, so most attendees won't have to go to work the next day. We have a 6pm start time and our reception will end at 11pm.

Sunday weddings are fine imo. I am attending a Sunday wedding in May and plan on taking the following day off so that I can enjoy the evening and party with them but I wouldn't expect a lot of people to stay past 9 if you're wanting like a party atmosphere.

Our sunday wedding is ending at 10 pm, but we chose labor day weeked, so most people are off that monday.

My wedding is going to be on a Sunday. I'll have it start at 4:00 and end at 9:00. You may get some declines, but people are generally good with a Sunday wedding.

I'm having a Sunday wedding and I've been to a few. All my guest are Christian/Baptist and we attend church on Sunday so I chose a 4pm start time reception at 5:30. My venue requires everything to stop at 10pm. So it's fine. I can't remember I time I went to bed before then. :-)

Were having a Sunday wedding- 6pm start but it's memorial day weekend so everyone has Monday off (yes everyone- I checked with the people I wasn't sure of).

Part of the way I looked at it is all of my OOT guests live far enough away that they'd realistically need to take at least part of Friday off to make a Saturday wedding. So taking Monday isn't that different.

Getting married on a Sunday but Monday is a holiday so I don't think that it makes a huge difference but getting married that day saved us a few thousand dollars as well.

We are doing a 6pm ceremony, reception ends at 12:30

Thanks guys for all your feedback . I was starting to get nervous since they all seem to have Sunday's open right now.

Having a Sunday wedding but it's a holiday weekend. Many of my guest won't have to work the next day

I would do a Sunday wedding during the day. This allows local guests time to get home and rest before work the nest day. Out of town guests likely want have to take any extra time off for a Sunday or Saturday wedding. because no matter what they would have needed at least one travel day. If you have it in the evening, realize that some people might not attend or many people will leave early.

We're doing a Sunday wedding because there were no Friday/Saturday options left (aaand the 15% discount didn't hurt, either). Ceremony starts at one, reception is on site ending at 630, and we have guests coming in from five other states.

I've also had guests tell me they're looking forward to spinning it into a long weekend.

I had a Sunday wedding and it actually worked out perfectly. My brother is a sports writer who does college sports, so Saturday's in the fall were out! We had a small wedding, the ceremony was at 3 and the reception (same location) ended at 8. We had an informal after-party on the grounds of the inn for those that were staying overnight. Most of our guests were older family, so staying and taking Monday off (from being retired haha) wasn't an issue. For those that couldn't take off, it ended early enough that they could get home at a reasonable time.

ETA a couple of our guests had a 1.5-2 hour drive, and opted not to stay. They left at 8 and it worked fine for them. Also, there's often a discount in price for Sunday's.
