What would you think if you received an invitation that said this...

I'd think it was unusual but I'd still really want to go! Everyone does things differenty these days, so if that works well for you, then go for it!

I agree, I think that your guests would want to see you get married no matter how you decided to do it and just be happy to be invited. it might be something they've never done before. It sounds brilliant if you are willing to compromise!

Good Luck

It's different, but I wouldn't not want to come just cos it's a bit late rthan the 'norm'. We're considering a later ceremony that we invite everyone to as well. Means only one lot of catering lol. I LOVE the idea of a candelit ceremony! ❤️

To help with anyone thinkin they're travelling a long way for not very much, could you have a get together before things kick off? Have a few drinks somewhere (would the venue let you mill around before the official bits start?), few snacks, and then all head to 'the' room?

Personally, id think it was great!! It will be so romantic, candel lit room...... Ooooh lovely!! We have been trying to get married at 6pm but it's proving difficult to find a venue that will do it! I'd say go for it, sounds like just what you've been looking for!

Guests with young children or babies may have a problem with it. That's the only problem I see. Sounds very romantic

I wouldnt have a problem as a guest - but as a bride, I dont think I could wait alllllllll day to get married ? We're marrying at 2.30 and I know that is gonna be one looooong morning! I just couldnt wait that long to see OH, get married, and spend the rest of the day celebrating with everyone we love!

Personally I have no issue with it. Id rather see 6pm than 12 pm and need to find something to do in between

I'd love it because of the above! An all day do followed by a night do as well is something I personally find too long so I'd definitely come to one that starts at 6pm in candlelight - really romantic. Have a chat with the photographers on here about the best way to capture your day.

I would think it was great! Being a b!tch, I would be happier to be a guest at that than a 'regular' wedding - no waiting around between ceremony and evening do. I would think it was a unique idea, and the candlight sounds very romantic.

We've been invited to a wedding this Sunday which starts at 6pm. I double checked with the bride that the ceremony was at 6pm because she didn't make it clear on the invites, but I didn't think it was weird at all. A lot of people are getting married late in the day now to save costs.

It's a good idea if you don't mind your wedding only lasting around 6 hours.

Thanks for your input ladies

The only thing that ever so slightly bothers me is how quickly the night will fly by. By the time we've wed, and spoken to people, had a bit of a boogie it'll be home time. But that is my only bad point to make on the matter - we need to think of our budget and remember it's just 1 day! x

I think you're spot on, it's lovely and wonderful but it will whizz by as though it's an hour or two. Don't worry about what the guests will think, they'll all love it. I've put our ceremony back twice, selfishly, just to drag the day out even more

I think 6pm is perfect! It means that your guests can have the day to themselves! Also, it's a long day when it starts earlier, everyone's tired and ready for home by 9!!!

Sounds great. I'd be thinking- wow, day to myself or all day to get ready for a wedding, brilliant.

It sounds perfect for you.....the only caveat is that it means a shorter evening and less time to wear your dress.....

All the more reason for a 'rock the frock' shoot then ?

I think it sounds lovely and romantic. Much more European, but then they would party all night.

As somebody else said, your wedding would be over in a flash though.

I was very conscious I didn't want people to be bored at my wedding, too long a day, blah blah so I had my ceremony at 3pm and stopped at 12. It honestly felt like the day took about 2 hours. Went so quickly. What time could your party go on til? I struck off a lot of venues that finished at 11.

Precisely?
