Wedding Reception Forum

Dinner Time needs to be moved up and cocktail hour changed! Opinions please.

So bare with me. This might take some explaning.

I want a rabbi to conduct our wedding (my fiance does not care and says its up to me to choose who officiates). However, being the bad Jew I am, scheduled the ceremony and reception on a Jewish holiday (minor one in my opinion). Therefore, most rabbis that we have talked to have been relunctant to conduct the ceremony (one even asked if we could move the date  brashly).

There is one reform rabbi who is willing to do the ceremony-however it needs to be conducted after sundown. He said the earliest he can do it is 7 30 pm. Therefore, that means we will have to have the cocktail hour first and move dinner up to 8 or 8 30. Although I do not mind this, I am afraid that many of my guests will be upset that dinner is late. What are your opinions on this?

P.S. Plan B is to have a Justice of Peace conduct ceremony.
