If you’re getting married on a Sunday, what time does the wedding start? We had to push our wedding date back to Sunday, August 23rd. I’m struggling with choosing a start time.

We had to push our wedding date back to Sunday, August 23rd. I’m struggling with choosing a start time. I love the idea of a 2 pm wedding but we want it to be semi formal. I don’t know if that would work. I’d love to hear your thoughts & know what you’re doing.

    We are doing a beauty and the beast themed wedding. The attire is black Tie and our date is Sunday 6/21/20. The ceremony will start promptly ar 5:00pm and end at 5:30pm. cocktail hour is 5:30-6:30pm and the reception is 6:30-until. I hope this helps. our venue is only giving us 5 hours so we have to use our time wisely.

    Our reception date was pushed back to Sunday 9/20. We are still getting married in June so we kept our 6pm start time since we won’t have a long “ceremony”. We want the golden hour sunset for pictures.

    We are getting married September 6, 2020. I am having the same dilemma with deciding what time. We are having the wedding and reception at the same location. I am thinking about a 4 or 5pm wedding and lasting until about 8 or 9pm.

    We decided on a 5 pm wedding. A lot of our guests are from out of state & they won’t fly out until Monday anyway. Best wishes to you!

    Not looking to do appetizer. We're doing outside the box and catering our reception for the Salvation Army soup kitchen people. The wedding party will serve. Pricing duck. Solid on prime rib and possibly roasted chicken. What's your venue?

    We haven’t even planned a honeymoon yet. I’m still a little uncertain about traveling out of the country with this pandemic. I know it will be August and I pray things are much much better. I’m sure we will do a honeymoon and wouldn’t fly out until the next day.
