What time should our wedding begin?

Talk to your photographer. I’d recommend 3pm as you have time to have a ceremony before sunset, then you get your golden hour photos.


We’re having a morning wedding so we’re getting morning golden hour and having ours at 11am.

I’m planning on 6:00pm, with a first look and family/wedding party photos prior to the ceremony. We’re putting 5:30 on the invitations for guest to have a drink and mingle before the ceremony starts.

Do your venue/s and officiant have set times? Talk to them first to see when your availability is on their calendars.

I got married in February and started at 5pm

Our start time is 5pm for our October 30th wedding. I put 4:30pm on the invites for the people running late.

We are going for 430pm. Not doing a first look but we are going to be taking pictures with the bridal party and ourselves with our individual families in two separate locations before the ceremony.

We’re starting at 5:30.

We're getting married at sunset in Jamaica in October.

4:30(: it’s enough time for all of us to get ready and do a first look!

We are planning on 4:00pm.

We're having a sunrise wedding - We've noted on the invites 7:00 a.m. but we'll actually start the ceremony at about 7:15 for a 7:19 a.m. sunrise
