Church ceremony on a Friday

So I booked our church for a Friday. Our reception hall is about 15 mintues away and being that it's a Friday I was thinking of a 7:30-8 start time. We will be taking pictures after the ceremony at our reception hall outside weather permitting. Is a 4 ceremony too late? I told the priest 3 p.m. but now I'm thinking it's too early. I can change it of course. We will be having a half mass. MY FH told me the wedding he was in it took 2 hrs for them to take pictures so I just want to make sure we have enough time for pictures.

I have a 8:30 CH start time, and my church ceremony also on a Friday is at 5:30..... I think 4:00 is fine!

Re: Church ceremony on a Friday

my CH starts at 7:00. my mom wants me to have the church at 3 but since we are taking pictures at the botanical gardens before going to the RH our church is at 2. WOW thats going to be one long day.

this is for a friday & to answer your question i think 4 is fine for you

Re: Church ceremony on a Friday

4 seems fine to me. My friend is also getting married on a Friday and her ceremony starts at 3 and her reception starts at 8.

Re: Church ceremony on a Friday

I'm having a Friday wedding, church at 4 and CH at 7

Re: Church ceremony on a Friday

My photographer recommended doing a 3 pm ceremony at the church. My RH is slightly farther than yours too. I think you will be fine. You are allowing more than 3 hours in between your CH and ceremony. That seems more than enough.
