    Our ceremony will be at 5:30PM. At first it was 6:00PM but we are going to shuttle people from a hotel to the church (church has very little parking) and back to the hotel. That will give them time to get to the reception with cocktail hour beginning at 7:00 and we hope have dinner started by 8:00PM. It also gives me and FH a chance to get photos and hopefully arrive by the end of cocktail hour.

    Our Ceremony is at 7pm, it will be a short simple ceremony since we will technically be married on Nove 12th in city hall, with cocktail hour and reception to follow.

    Our ceremony is at 1:30 and the reception is 2-6. I am afraid if I made the wedding to late most of my guests would leave early so I know at 6 they would be fine to hang in there till its through Smiley smile

    Ours was at 4 pm, but we wish we would have had it earlier at like 2 pm to give more time for pictures and not be so rushed.

    Sunday wedding. Our ceremony will be at noon, with cocktail hour and reception immediately following (no break). We'll be taking pictures beforehand. I would have preferred a 1p ceremony, but our venue (an inn/resort) doesn't give you a choice with reception times as they use part of our space for their dinner service.

    Our ceremony starts at 3pm in a catholic church however, our reception will be on a yacht and boarding isn't until 6:30pm. I haven't figured out what to do with our guess until then.

    Our wedding is a Saturday. The ceremony begins at 10:30am and recepting starts right after around 11am (they're at the same place). We wanted a daytime wedding because we're getting married outside in this beautiful garden area and it will look better that way. Plus, with grandparents and everything, this way no one will have to leave early (also we save on alcohol..no need for a big bar).

    We're starting at 4:30 because we have to be out of there by 9 p.m. and because we can't be there more than 4 1/2 hours so 4:30 p.m. it is Smiley smile

    We're doing 5:30pm, 1/2 hour ceremony with cocktail to follow immediately after. The cocktail hour has outdoor and indoor areas, so we wanted to be kinda early evening, 6-7pm, for that. Its a great time for our time of year.
