Our wedding is going to be on a Friday night. What time would u start the ceremony and CH for there to be enough time in between church and CH to stop and take pics, but also not so early that no one can attend the ceremony?
we're having a friday night also... I think it depends on how far away your church is from the reception hall.. mine is a decent ride so I'm not expecting a TON of people at the ceremony.. Our ceremony starts at 3:30pm and our cocktail hour starts at 7:30pm... we should be out of church btw 4:30 and 5.. and then it is about a 45 min trip to our reception.. so we should arrive btw 5:30 amd 6pm and have a good 1hr and a half for pics... but if you start your cocktail hour at 7..that could probably work too... the thing is.. a lot ofg people will be coming from work maybe.. so i wanted to push it back an extra half hour and we want to attend our cocktail hour & have plenty of time to get the photos done.... a lot of reception halls will serve your guests cocktails while they wait for the actual cocktail hour to begin.
I'm having mine on a Saturday. The church starts at 2:30pm and the CH starts at 6:30pm
My wedding is on a Friday too. I am having the church at 3:30 and the reception/cocktail hour starts at 7:30. The church is about 30-40 minutes away from the hall too. I wanted to have plenty of time to take pics and to go to the local beach and takes pics there and be done by 7:30. I also took into account rush hour on Friday. Something us Friday brides have to consider. HTH
Our ceremony is at 4 and the CH starts at 7...our church and hall are only about 20 minutes apart, so we will have plenty of time to go to the beach to take pics, then get to the hall a little early to do more pics on the grounds.
Im getting married on Friday and though we havent booked our church yet-I wouldnt worry so much about the timing really-IF they come they come if they dont they dont. There are going to be people that arent going to go to the ceremony.
Thanks for the advice girls! I'm glad I asked I was thinking 4:30 or 5:00 church and 7:30 CH I guess that wouldn't be enough time to fit in pictures!!
I have a 4 ceremony and a 8 pm CH
My ceremony is at 3 and Giorgio's is about 20 minutes away. The cocktail hour is starting at 6:30. (But its an hour and a half). I think that should give me enough time....I hope :)
My ceremony is at 6pm and My cocktail hour starts at 7. I am having my ceremony and Reception at the same place though. I will be taking pictures on the grounds at the CHCC.

I am getting married on a Friday night too. My ceremony is at 3:30 and the cocktail starts at 7pm, which gives plenty of time in between. As for people attending, I wouldn't worry to much. I look at it as if I am important to them, then they will show up.![]()
My CH starts at 7:00, My church is not booking my date yet (which in its self makes me nervous) but I hopeing for 3:30 or 4:00 start.
