How early can I get married at a church??

My fiance` and I are not sure where we would like to do a ceremony... we are open to both a church or a reception hall.

We are planning on having a Saturday daytime wedding- starting at the reception hall around noon. There is time to do the ceremony right before the reception at the hall, but we are wondering if the timing would work at a church.

My question is, how early does a Catholic Church allow you to get married on a Saturday? Is there a specific time that is too early? Do they save mornings for funerals?

Just wondering if you guys had any idea on the answer to this question.

Thanks for your help!

I know a girl who had a ceremony at 7am. It was a saturday morning. It was a friend of a friend. Needless to say... my friend did not go to the wedding.
