how far is your church from your rh? you want to make sure you have plenty of time for pics and that they are not rushed...i say 2
My coctail hour starts at 6 also and my church is at 3:30. We are only doing a ceremony.

I am having church at around 1 or 1:30.... i know that it is really early but I am getting married in the fall and I want to be able to take pictures in the daylight. Plus I am having Greek Ceremony!!
I feel bad b/c CH is at 7.... but everyone lives around the area and most likely my parents will have food and stuff set up at my house for everyone....

Im having a greek ceremony too, its like an hour right, its going to take forever to double kiss everyone after the church
my church is at 3:15 and the reception is at 6:30
mine is 3:30 (on 3/30) and the CH is at 6
i set mine for 3pm and CH starts at 6.. but i dont think theres anything wrong with 2pm... is there anyone in your family who has a big house that any OOT guests can go hang out at in between?
Thanks for everyone that replied. I think Im going to leave it for 2 this way I wont have to rush to do things and my guests can relax a bit
I'd also say to leave it at 2. On that day things seem to take more time than you anticipated (you might be at the church longer than you think or there might be traffic, etc.) so it's always good to have that extra cushion of time, rather than not enough.
keep it for 2pm...you know how greek weddings can be...it's going to start a tad bit late and run a bit over, and then you have the receiving line...your guests will then have to travel to your reception hall, so you'll be fine keeping it for 2pm

mine is at 2:30.....enough time to take pics but only a little gap untill cocktail hour
i have my church at 3:30 and i just pushed my CH until 7....i didnt want to rush and take pictures and i wanted to enjoy the CH...i figure i can get around an talk to people then....i am also having a greek ceremony...the church told me it will be a good 1.5 hours from start to finish with the reception line....and greeks never start on time.....keep it at 2 so you can relax and take all the pictures....the people that matter will be at the church

For a Greek ceremony keep it at 2pm. One of my BMs married into a Greek family and the ceremony was close to 2 hours. You'd be rushing if you did it at 3pm.
