It may not have even crossed your mind to look into having a daytime wedding. But if you're happy with a more casual, laid back vibe, a midday ceremony and lunch reception could be a game changer.
You get married sooner
You don't have to wait all day to finally marry the love of your life. The morning getting ready will fly by and you'll be walking down the aisle before you get a chance for the nerves to hit.
Ideal lighting for photos
Having the extra daylight to work with will be a dream for your photographer and videographer.
Budget friendly
Most people naturally drink less alcohol at a daytime function, which means you can save money here. And depending on your choice of food service, that could save you too.
Logistics for guests
For those who can't do a late night, whether it's because they have to put kids to bed or are at an age where it's just not in them, whatever the reason, a daytime schedule can be the difference between a yes or no rsvp.
Opportunity for an after party
If you do want to keep the fun going, you can invite your guests (or maybe just a select few) to join at an after party. And because this would start in the early evening, it might also end early which could mean bed by 11pm.
With an early wedding you can enjoy the slower pace and soak up your guests in the light of day, while still having the traditional wedding elements you've always dreamed of. Keep this in mind when planning your special day.
