What time is your wedding starting?

View quoted message This is we are also doing! Gives you plenty of time to get those photos in and we want to set up little stations to keep people entertained prior the reception starting

We also were thinking a morning wedding would be less expensive. So that’s why we choose morning.

Wedding started at 4:30 and reception was 6:30 with lots of time for cocktail hour. Pictutes taken inbetween as well in one venue.

I was wondering about having more time in between the ceremony and the reception. We have ours at 430, and then reception party at 630. I think judging by most of the responses that will be enough time, but I like that you've given yourself ample, so you don't have to worry about it!

Ceremony at 2, reception at 5.

Ceremony at 4, reception starts at 6, followed by: lion dance, first dance, dinner.

Wedding ceremony 3:00
Reception 5:30, dinner served at 6

View quoted message We’re early birds and wanted a fresh take on our smaller intimate celebration. It also helps that our venue costs less during day! 😜

I haven't decided between 2:30 or 3pm for the ceremony. Cocktail hour from 5pm, reception starts about 6 until whenever.

Our ceremony is at 1pm and then cocktail hour is 5:30pm. Then reception start at 6;30. We are not doing first look so we need a longer time inbetweeb to go to the park. Ceremony and reception at the same place. What is your thoughts on our timeline please ...

My plan is a timeline like this:
3pm - private ceremony
3:30pm - pictures
5pm - cocktail hour at reception site for guests
6pm - wedding party entrance and dinner

I figure this way no one has to wait around forever while we're taking pictures and then we're not rushed. The ceremony site is small, so it'll be immediate family and a few select guests only and most of them will be in some pictures anyway.

View quoted message Wow that’s cool. What are your reasons for choosing a morning wedding?

View quoted message We’re having a morning ceremony and brunch reception too!

The ceremony will begin at about 10/10:30,followed by a mimosa cocktail period with the reception will follow.

We’ve got one venue so the transition should be pretty smooth.

My ceremony is at 3pm with a later reception starting at 7pm at a hall.

We are having a pretty quick turnaround... Ceremony at 3:00 and reception will be open for cocktail hour at about 3:30-3:45.... Its only a 10 min drive from ceremony venue.

Our ceremony is from 2:30-3:30 and our reception starts at 5:30. We will be chasing the sun for photos because the sun sets at 4:50 on our wedding day. Plus our reception is a 15 minute drive from the church.

Our ceremony will be at 4pm Cocktail hour for photos from 4:30 to 5:30 and our reception/dance/speeches will start at 5:30 until 7. At 7:30 we will begin our round dance until midnight.

That's awesome! I have ours starting at 430 and reception at 630!

Thats very close to ours. We decided on 430 wedding, and 630 drop in for reception/after party.

I was wondering about if I did the timing right, if I left enough space in between!

My wedding will be at 615/630pm. The. Reception at 730

Our ceremony started at 4, was less than 30 minutes, and dinner/reception started between 6-6:30.

We are still planning it but look like we will start at 4h-4h30 to have time to do first look before. After that pictures with everyone as we have a tiny wedding of 40 guesses. After 5h30 to 6h30 cocktail and then 7h00 reception. That is the plan up to now

Our ceremony is from 2:30 to 3:30 and reception starts at 5pm

Our ceremony should start 4-430, be done by 5. Then our cocktail hour starts at 5:30, dinner at 7ish, dancing until 1am!

My ceremony is starting at 4 and then there’s a cocktail hour leading into my reception at 6. We wanted as little a gap as possible but still needed room for pictures

We are having a morning wedding. So we have between 8am - Noon. Our reception is in the same place as the ceremony ( brunch) right after the wedding we will do pictures and then eat.

We have about a 4 hour gap. Our ceremony starts at 11am. We are expecting that to take about 45 minutes. And our hall for the reception opens at 4.

2pm ceremony and 5pm cocktail hour except not really bc it’ll pretty much start right after the ceremony. We’ll have games, snacks and drinks for guests after the ceremony and then a more formal cocktail hour I guess will be in the tent at 5 and then supper at 6pm.

Wedding at 12:00 noon, cocktail hour, then luncheon at 1:30.

Our ceremony is at 4pm and then our reception begins at 7. We’ll give the guests some food and set up some outdoor activities for the time in between.

Our wedding will start at 4:00pm followed by a social/cocktail hour, seating will begin around 6:30 or earlier for our reception dinner. Our wedding party entrance will be around 6:40!

Our ceremony starts at 330 and then goes straight into a cocktail hour. From there, they will be asked to start being seated at 530 and dinner starts at 6.
