What time are you getting married?

Our ceremony is at 1:30 because that is our only option with our church. We'll have to do the dreaded Catholic gap because its either that or have a lunch reception which isn't what we were going for. If I could, I'd definitely do it later, maybe closer to 3:30 or 4 so it leads into dinner well to the point where people are hungry and ready to eat but not hangry yet haha

Our wedding ceremony starts at 5:00pm and reception ends at midnight. I personally like the evening hours because the party will just flow into the night and once all is done everyone can go home stuffed and partied out ready to sleep LOL.

We're getting married at three and the reception starts at four.

We are getting married at 4. Reception ends at 10. That is the time our venue offered because city restrictions on noise!

Our ceremony is starting at 3:30 p.m. We chose that time b/c we scheduled the day around sunset (it is supposed to be around 5 p.m. that day). Our cocktail hour will end right at sunset and we're hoping to get some photos by the water of just me and my FH at that time... hopefully family photos will go quickly and we'll get those in since we're doing a first look!

Hi Rachel.

My wedding ceremony will start at 5:30 pm. Reception ending at 1:30am I picked this time since it is a Friday and people usually work and something have A** H**** as bosses that wont give them the day off this way they can at least try to make it.

Our ceremony will begin at noon, and it's on a Sunday.

I know a lot of people have afternoon weddings to save money which is a bonus to this, but honestly we did it mostly because we prefer the feel of an afternoon wedding. We liked that it would be light outside the whole time... our ballroom has skylights too so it will be bright and beautiful!

We also liked doing it earlier so that the majority of the day would actually be spent celebrating, rather than spent getting ready. I currently have 9am-12pm set to get my and my bridesmaids hair and makeup done, and I honestly cannot imagine spending anymore than 3 hours on getting ready. I just want to get married and then enjoy the day!

Our reception will end at 6pm so this gives my FH and I time to go up to our room, order room service for dinner, and relax together! Then if we're up to it we may meet some remaining guests at the hotel bar later that night. But we also wanted to end early enough for out of town guests to fly home Sunday night if they couldn't take off of work on Monday

We start at 5 PM and end at 12 Midnight! I have a family full of party going people! We party all night long! LOL Depends on what hours you like the best.

Our start time is 4pm with reception beginning at 5pm over at 8pm. I have the mentality of an 80 year old woman and go to bed early so I wanted it done before I got tired and cranky hahaha

However, our venue is downtown, so if people want to go barhopping after, its the perfect place to do so!

We are having our ceremony at 5pm. Our wedding is on a Friday in September. Our theme is like a fairytale romance so we've got lots of vintage decor and tons and tons of candles and white christmas lights. We wanted all the lights to be the center of attention so we needed most of the affair to be at dusk or night. Sunset is at 7 on the day we're get to get married. So we chose 5 for the cermony so we'd have the good sunset lighting for our photos, the rest of the reception will show off the candles and since we dont have many out of town guests they won't have to take a full day off of work.

This makes me want to change my Ceremony earlier lol

Our ceremony begins at 4:30pm. We knew we wanted to do a late afternoon wedding. Since it gets dark earlier in the winter months, 4:30 seemed like the right time!

We're getting married at 3:30pm. Then we'll have a cocktail hour, and our reception will start at 5:00pm. We have to end our reception at 10pm due to noise ordinance, and be completely out by 11pm.

Our ceremony is at 4:30 and reception is ending at 10pm. Our venue only offered 5 hour for reception including cocktail hour. So we picked this time due to finding a babysitter for our 2 young children.

Ceremony is at 5:30pm since the sun sets late and our guests have to travel from work (wedding is on a Friday). This way they wouldn't need to miss very much work to get to us.

Our ceremony will be at the same venue as the reception. We're thinking ceremony at 2:00 in afternoon. This will allow plenty of time for a cocktail hour and for us to take all the photos we want before dinner starts at 5 or 5:30, reception will go until about 11pm

We're doing a church ceremony. It starts at 2pm and will approx. be an hour and 15 minutes. After the ceremony the guests will drive to the reception hall for cocktails and obdours. In the meantime we will be having our photos with immediate family and wedding party. Reception will officially start(fingers crossed) around 4pm. Just in time for more drinks, dancing and dinner.

I'm getting married at 10:00 AM! I love this factor and everything about it EXCEPT for how darn early I have to get up to get ready. Lol. I'm a morning person and can't sleep when I'm excited anyway but still. Would prefer to be doing my makeup in daylight and that more than likely will not be the case as it's the first thing I'm doing to allow for ample time.

I chose the morning because my venue only allows for morning and late afternoon shifts, and we had already booked our honeymoon flights thinking we were going to elope and decided to just stick to it. It worked for the venue because they serve lighter foods so it's more brunch-y.

We are getting married at 5:30 p.m. We chose this time for a variety of reasons, I didn't want to be rushed getting ready and this still left plenty of time for our first look. It also flows well into our reception (we didn't want a gap) and the officiant we really wanted had another wedding earlier that day so couldn't start until 5:30 p.m. (if not I probably would have started at 5 p.m.)

Those are all good points, and very thoughtful.

We are doing a morning wedding -- with the same thought that I don't want to spend the whole day getting ready. I'll be anxious so I want to say "I do" -- so the moment after we do the rest of the day is celebrating!
