Hello all,
My fiance and I are meeting with our church soon to began our marriage prep courses. In talking with one of the people at the church, he informed me that Saturday wedding ceremony options are either 2pm or 7:30pm. I've always wanted a night wedding, but I feel like starting a Catholic ceremony at 7:30 will push everything (the reception/dinner) way too late. Even if we do a shorter ceremony (30-45minutes), once you factor in time for pictures, dinner likely wouldn't be served until 9pm. I do plan on having a cocktail hour with appetizers and the reception venue is less than 5 minutes from the church. I just wanted some opinions/advice on choosing that start time/how to plan. As a general FYI: I think my fiance and I will do a "first look" so that should cut down on picture taking time after the ceremony.
