I think 7:30 is not too late... but you just want to make sure you do not have a huge gap of time between the ceremony and CH...

Not too late as long as most have off the next day. I've gone to Sunday weddings where the CH started at 7:30 and the party ended at 12:30 am without a holiday next day and that was brutal. The holiday saves you!

It is a SUnday of a holiday weekend, where 99 percent of our guests would have off the next day.

we're having ours at 7:30 on the same day so i say no!!!

I don't think 7:30 is too late, especially if the next day is a holiday!

Sunday of a holiday weekend is pretty much like a Saturday night, so I don't think it's too late at all. Actually, I'm getting married on a Saturday and that's what time my CH starts too

My CH starts at 7pm. I don't think 7:30 is too late. Hey your wedding is a party! My wedding is the Sunday b4 July 4. I think's okay to do a late CH if people would be off from work the next day (ec. Saturday, day b4 holidays).
