What time is your ceremony?


Recommended Posts

My photographer suggested that our ceremony start at 3:00 since the sun will set at 5:00 and that way we can make sure there is still enough light for pics. I am wondering if this is too early and am not sure what time the reception would start and if it would be too early for dinner, not sure what everyone will doing until the reception starts, any suggestions?

 

Thank you

Hi

 

I am also getting married at 5pm and wanted shots of both the daylight and sunset, so thought that was a good time.

 

We have our reception due to start at 6.30pm.

 

Maybe look at the projected tempreture of that time of year as it is always the hottest between 12 and 3pm. That is the reason I opted for later in the day, so that it was not too uncomfortable.

If daytime pictures are important to you, then I would definitely start at 3pm so you don't feel rushed with trying to get the pictures done in time. The sun waits for no one. wink.gif

 

With that said, we originally had a 5pm church ceremony followed by a sand ceremony and then the reception. Because the sand ceremony is the only part of the whole day that we are doing outside, I wanted to be sure we had enough daylight to get great pictures. So we moved the church ceremony to 3:30pm (full mass) with a cocktail hour after (while we take some pictures) and the sand ceremony beginning at 6:30pm since the sun doesn't set until 7:15pm.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
