Anyone having a 12pm wedding?

I had a midday wedding it was great. .I looked at it basically as a full day for everyone. The day goes so quickly anyway so I saw it as a chance for a longer time to enjoy it all. Nobody complained and wouldn't change any of it.

I had a 1230pm wedding and it went in the blink of an eye!

Mine was 12.00 I and wouldn't change a thing!

We invited the evening guests from 6pm. I'd do that again, too.

I just worry the day wont flow as nicely? I don't want big gaps where people get bored!?

If it helps, we had (approx - can't remember exactly):

12.00 - 12.30 - ceremony

12.30 - 14.30 - Drinks reception and photos

14.30 - 15.00 - Seated for dinner and 2 speeches

15.00 - 17.00 - wedding breakfast

17.00 - 17.30 - Best men speeches

17.30 - 18.00 - Couple photos and guests moved outside/through to evening reception room/bar

18.00 - 19.00 - Drinks etc

19.00 - First dance (approx) then band and DJ until 23.30pm

21.00 - Buffet (approx)

24.00 - Back to hotel

No one was bored, promise.

This is true. My hotel was 10 minutes from the venue and we had access to their one suite from 9am - my bridesmaids and I got ready there.

(We could have stayed there on the night of the wedding but there was only one room and we didn't want to miss out on all the fun at the hotel!).

I am having a 12.30 wedding. The Church is about half hour drive to the venue.

I am looking forward to having a whole day celebrating, I have been told it was fly by, so the longer it is the better! Only down side... hair and make up starts really early!!

Were goig to have a 12 pm one too mainly as its a Jan wedding it gets dark quickly!

We're having 1pm so only an hour later, you could just spend longer on the post-ceremony drinks and photos? My best friend had an 11:30am ceremony, which although felt ridiculously early, the day didn't drag at all!

Thanks everyone I've now booked it!

Exciting!

We are also heading to the beach just us two and TOGs for photos which should take quite a bit of time!

I would not have it if I had to have it after 1pm

frankly im going to make the most of the WHOLE day

as people said it will go sooo fast you'll blink and think where did the day go and its always better to have too much time than not enough

also have you ever got ready for a night out and waited round?

its infuriating, I would much rather go out earlier than wait all day for something as it kills the buzz
