From an etiquette perspective, as long as you're hosting your guests and it's enough food to make a meal you're good to go.   

I'm personally not a huge fan of the breakfast foods at dinner thing (or really breakfast food in general) but if there were carving stations and other options I'd be happy.

Ditto NOLA.  My breakfast is Carnation Express because I cannot eat breakfast foods.  Breakfast meats are too greasy for me, I cannot eat eggs, pancakes or waffles are too heavy.  From what you listed, the only things I could eat would be at the meat carving station and the salad.

I'm sorry, but I think it would be really bizarre.

I think you CAN do it, but you need to pick between brunch and crystal/glam. Brunch at night is offbeat and casual, not glam, in my opinion-- but it doesn't mean you can't do it!

Perhaps you could incorporate a unique twist on a dish to bring a hint of brunch to the meal. However, for a night time reception, I would expect more dinner type entrees.  I'm not a fan of breakfast foods myself and would not be thrilled to see them when I would anticipate a dinner.  However, I'm sure there are plenty of chefs that could incorporate the twist on the breakfast/brunchy type menu items - like donuts and milk shots at the conclusion or some type of egg themed appetizer.

Since you asked...  It might be mental, but I rarely eat omelettes at 11am let alone a dinnertime.   I also can't eat pancakes or waffles because it puts me in a sugar low, so breakfast for dinner would be a real bummer for me.

   If your chef is that amazing why waste his talents on an omelet station? Why not ask him to incorporate some sort of breakfast dish into a night time dish. Make him be creative?

You need to serve an appropriate meal at the appropriate time.  If you are having an evening wedding, then you need to serve dinner.  As a guest, I would really be put off expecting to have dinner and being served breakfast.
