My wedding is November 23rd. As of right now, the church is set for 4pm and the cocktail hour starts at 7pm. The church is in Bellport, Chateau La Mer in Lindenhurst, so by the time we get out of the church (5) and with the 35 minute drive to CLM, there would only be about an hour lapse before the cocktail hour.
Question is, should I move the church up? If the church ends at 5, is it going to be dark outside when we go outside for pics and throw rice, etc.? We are thinking of making the church at 3 and keeping the reception at 7 so we have enough time to get pics done in between and we'll be able to enjoy cocktail hour with everyone. What time is your church/reception? And what time does it get dark in November? What are your plans?

Re: Calling all November brides- past & future!
Awesome girls, thanks so much for the help!!! Looks like we're going to do the church at 3 and the cocktail hour at 7. We are pretty much gauranteed no pics during cocktail hour and we'll get the sunlight that we want. For those of you that checked out what the weather was like, on your days, sunset times, etc.... where did you find it? I searched all over the web!

I would move it earlier for pics. You never know what might delay you.

I did a search on Google sunrise and sunset. I think it came up with a Naval calendar which was very accurate.

Re: Calling all November brides- past & future!
I think I am doing a 5 ceremony and 7:30 CH. I've already come to terms or at least I think with the whole issue of no outside pics. To me I guess I'll try to get as many pics of me and BP and my family and same with him separately outside BEFORE ceremony. If it's important to have outdoor pics with the sun (although the sunshine is never guaranteed) then I'd move it to 300 ceremony and 730 CH That gives you more than enough time. Good Luck !

That's one of our concerns as well, we are having our ceremony at 2:30pm in Brooklyn then CH begins at 6:30 at the Fox Hollow. Hopefully we can have a bit of time to take outdoor pics, if not then I will settle for the Fox Hollow's photo studio which is nice.

My wedding was Nov. 27th and it was dark by 5pm. Our church was 3pm and we were able to get some outside pics after the church as the sun was setting.
