Morning, afternoon or evening?

What time of day are you having your wedding?? Curious to see the range ~ I've been to weddings that started in the afternoon and evening, but none in the morning so far.... I bet the pictures can be incredible!

    4:30 in the afternoon, which seems to be very popular! Our cocktail hour will be from 5-6 and reception from 6-10.

    We are doing a 430 ceremony start time, but FHs uncle did a surprise wedding at sunrise on Christmas Day during their family trip to Costa Rica. Created the most beautiful photos.

    4:00 for us! Sunset is at 4:45 so we didn't have a choice.

    Our ceremony starts at 11:30! This was a sticking point at the beginning with FH and I ...he wanted a night-time wedding, thought that's just the way it was done. I wanted daytime for pics (and honestly, I'm just not a late night person...I'm yawning by 9pm ALWAYS!) He got on board when he saw the price difference in a Saturday DAY wedding vs. a Saturday NIGHT wedding Smiley smile We're having an after-party gathering at a hotel that evening though for anyone who doesn't want the party to end, so he still gets his night party!

    5pm for our ceremony really based on our officiant's availability, but no way I'd have a morning wedding. I am NOT a morning person.

    Weddings are generally longer here so, personally, I've not seen one start after 2pm.

    Ours will likely be between noon and 1 (Friday). We want to miss the village school letting out for lunch.

    It will depend on when the sun starts to set. I would love to get some sunset photos.

    2:30pm on Sunday... everyone got to sleep in that morning, guests had plenty time to drive to the venue, stay for a meal, have fun, but still be home in daylight by 8:30 in time to put the kids to bed and go to work the next day.

    Ours was at 5:30pm. I've been to a beach 8am wedding. The pictures were great and the beach was empty.
