Don't worry about it at all! My wedding is at the same time. At least it's in the summer so you might actually catch the twighlight time of day, it could be really pretty in pictures!

my ceremony is at 5:15, CH starts at 8, reception goes from 9-1. i wouldn't have it any other way.

Re: late night wedding

I wouldn't worry, it's a weekend so people are usually up to partying and I think the fact that it's a little later is a little better too especially if it's a Friday, because it gives people time to get home from work without rushing and get together! I think if it's a little later like you have it, people are more likely to go to both the ceremony AND the reception and not just the reception!

Ceremony 3:30 ( I'm getting married in Feb and need to take pics early)

CH 8:15pm

Reception 9:15pm

I'm worried about the huge gap between the ceremony and the CH .

Re: late night wedding

Don't worry mine is from 830-130 as well and I'm figuring that people are going to have a blast!!!! Id rather have a late wedding, than something during the day and then people have to figure out something else to do at night.... this way they can party into the morning hrs. and then just either party at the hotel or they can decide to go home. Either way- they spent their night having an awesome time!!! My only issue was people who are coming from out of town and who might not want to stay overnight.... I haven't talked to anyone yet about this, but I'm hoping that it won't be an issue and that they'll decide to stay at a hotel... I hope

It's your day and the people who love you are there to help you celebrate no matter what time it is!

i told guests to arrive at 8pm (i walk down the aisle at 8:30) but everyone i know is always late and i dont want anyone to miss my grand entrance!

CH 9-10p
Reception: 11p-2a
