My hall is at 6:30 on a Saturday nite...everyone keeps saying that is early for a Saturday....do you think it is?? I'm starting to think I should make it 7:30-1:30 as opposed to 6:30-12:30.

My reception starts at 6 pm on a Saturday. I did it mostly because of my nieces-nephews, my sisters arent night owls and my older relatives have to drive back to Brooklyn, the Bronx and NJ. I'd keep the time as is. Everyone can always party afterwards.

My cocktail hour begins at 6:30 and the reception is from 6:30-12:30. I think that is a typical time for a Saturday night. Plus by starting it a little earlier you'll be sure that most people will stay until the end.

Thats true PinkRose...You are getting married at Chateau Briand too!!! I liked that time....I keep hearing that Saturday nite weddings usually start later. I'm glad to hear that yours begins at 6.

My cocktail hour is at 7:00 - everyone thinks it is late but I think anywhere from 5:30 - 7:00 start is average for a sat. night.

My reception starts at 6:00; it's on the Sunday before Columbus Day so it's like a Saturday.

We had a 6 hour wedding instead of 5. Our cocktail hour (and a half) was from 7-8:30 and our reception was from 8:30-1am.

On a Friday night...pre-ceremony, 7 - ceremony, 7:30 - CH, 8 - reception, 9-1.
I don't think an hour will make a difference...your CH will be from 6:30-7:30 and then people won't eat until close to 8:30. Nothing wrong with that - I don't think it's too early at all.
