We can't decide whether to get married on Sunday afternoon or in the evening. Price is about the same for both.
I am concerned about keeping guests out until midnight when they have to work the next day but really like the idea of an evening reception.
On the otherhand, an afternoon wedding means I have to be up at 5:00a.m. and the whole day will be finished so quickly.
To complicate matters, one of our choices, the Westbury Manor, only allows afternoon wedding ceremonies.
Does anybody have an opinion on this?

Re: Afternoon or Evening?
We're having a Sunday night reception. (6-12). I also was afraid at first that people would leave. But I've come to the conclusion that some people are going to leave early no matter what day it is and the people closest to you are going to stay till the end no matter what day it is.

I'm having Sunday afternoon in August. We're going to do most of the pictures beforehand since it will be nice and sunny early, but still kind of cool, and we are having family over afterwards.

I would do an afternoon with an after party. This way the folks who don't want to stay out late can go home, and those who do can PARTY

Re: Afternoon or Evening?
I am having a Saturday afternoon wedding. Most of my FH's family and friends are from out of town and have a long drive ahead of them. We also wanted to have an after party to spend more time with our friends. I went to a Sunday night wedding last winter at Russo's on the Bay and was dying from exhaustion the next day because it ended so late. Just my $.02.

Re: Afternoon or Evening?
Totally agree with Marcela1654 My reception is on a Sunday evening, July 4th. I prefer an evening Wedding over an afternoon Wedding. But the after party sounds nice for the afternoon Wedding. Good luck!!
