Ohh! Sounds great! Are you thinking of having an after-party?
Yeah, I want the reception to have that feel. But not super crazy. So, someone else's concern about alcohol/drinking throughout the day is a bit worrisome for me. Perhaps an elegant after-party....
Unless it’s a destination wedding your guests may not appreciate this idea. But hey it’s your wedding. Do what you want. Is there a reason to have the break in between?
Thanks for sharing! It's not a destination, but many guests will be coming to town. We thought a morning ceremony would be romantic, but so is an evening reception. :) A break could be nice for guests to refresh, too, I think. I also considered making the reception more elegant and the morning more casual. Just some thoughts... it may sound complicated, but in my imagination it's lovely! ;)
Sounds inconvenient
My concern exactly. The length between the ceremony and the reception is too long. It might not work.

As a guest I hate when this happens. It sucks being forced to kill time. Especially since you out an entire day I usually have to fully redo my makeup and hair and such. and i’d also hate to be in an outfit, have to change out of it, then back in
I agree. As a guest I find this type of thing to be very annoying.
Hmm as a guest, i personally feel like I would rather just do it all at one time because I would just have to go home and try not to mess up my clothes that I'm wearing. It can be difficult to figure out what to do in the down time
FWIW if you do this, your guests will drink heavily for the time period between the ceremony and your reception and may not make it to an after party
Good point, definitely worth considering...
I agree with the above comments. I would end up taking a nap or starting to do work and then lose track of time

My parents did this! It’s relatively common with catholic weddings as sometimes churches aren’t available after 3 or so on Saturdays due to Saturday evening Mass. I like it!
I love it if it's a destination. We were thinking of doing a similar thing since most of our guest are out of towners and we wanted to have an afterparty. What are your concerns?
Oh I didn't think about this before. At a destination I can see it working. That might be fun
Can I ask why you would want to do it this way? It seems like it would be easier for everyone to do it all at one time?
I know someone who did this and a lot of people skipped the ceremony because it was too far to go home in between and they had no where to go to kill that much time. I wouldn’t do it.
Thanks for the honest input. :)
We are doing this! Ours is a destination wedding and we’re doing our ceremony from 12-12:30, brunch reception with some dancing from 12:30-3, break from 3-7, and then a big after party at the same venue from 7-10:30. We have a lot of people traveling, including some elderly relatives, so think they will appreciate the opportunity to explore the city and take a nap if they want. I’m using the opportunity to change out of my gown and into something more comfortable for the after party.
Also, good luck with yours! I hope everything is perfect!!!
That’s what we are doing. That’s quite common in a lot of cultures I think and I think it gives people a break. But I will add that my morning ceremony is an Indian ceremony and is quite long
Thanks for sharing! I've heard it's somewhat common, and it sounds like a nice way to do things so it's not so exhausting. I want to enjoy each part of the day and not get too overwhelmed.
I think it’s fine. Just maybe provide some ideas of what they could do during the day during the down time. We gave a list of suggestions and everyone loved it!
Oh, that's a great idea!! Thanks!
Hmm. I think it's better to have it all in the morning or in the afternoon. How many guests are you planning to invite?

Sounds great! Not sure your background but this is common for Catholics, some call it the catholic gap
What are your plans after the ceremony? Or during the hours before the reception? Are they just gonna go back home?
I think this might work if well-planned out. Just make sure it is convenient for everyone. Good luck!
Don’t make them too spaced out if that happens- like max 2 hours. Also keep in mind your hair and makeup would be EARLY which sounds awful
I think it'd be worth it for that early morning wedding feeling. I know many other people aren't morning people, but I am! ;)
