We have booked our ceremony/reception space and the hours we can block off are 7-12. We had planned on having the wedding at 7:30 to about 8 and then a 45 minute cocktail 'hour' while the venue staff switches the ceremony space to the reception space, and then have dinner and dancing, but now I'm wondering if that's too late for a dinner. Guests wouldn't start getting their meals until almost 9. Do you think that's too late for dinner? Have you been to a wedding that late? Or should we talk to our venue and see if we can't move the times from 6-11 and have the ceremony begin at 6:30?
