Edward“Does getting married in the morning make a wedding too long? But if we do it in the afternoon we lose half a day! But the couple service in the afternoon is better! Yes, but then we have to invite everyone to lunch, as we do, we are too many! “
But is a wedding better in the morning or in the afternoon?
This is usually one of the first questions to be solved.
We respond immediately by saying that there is no better and no worse, but it depends on the needs. And first of all let’s debunk the biggest myth: it is not true that if you get married in the morning the day becomes too long and the guests risk getting bored. Just organize it well and with criteria, without too complex organizations.
Getting married in the morning is especially recommended if:
- You have so many guests
- You have to go through large shifts
- You have guests arriving in the evening
- But let’s see how to solve the small problems that may arise.
Downtime problem: in reality it is a problem that does not exist. Obviously you don’t have to get married at nine in the morning, but if the wedding ceremony is between 11 and 12, don’t worry. And if you intend to get married in Padua but have found a beautiful Villa in Friuli, the transfer will take away a good chunk of time from the day.
Tip: long lunches are no longer used. Better a wedding buffet of a couple of hours, where guests are free to get up, take pictures, eat whatever they want, and limit lunch to a few courses. Obviously the choice of location is very very important because entertaining your correspondents in a small location for eight to ten hours could be heavy. Better to opt for locations where you can move with greater freedom.
A good organization will still be needed even if you plan to carry on with the party until late. It will therefore be appropriate to organize some kind of entertainment.

Evening guests: If you have chosen to get married in the morning it is probably because you have so many guests, so many that all during the day would be too many! To make everything go smoothly, we first decide the right moment for cutting the cake: it is good to do it a little before the arrival of the evening guests or a little after, just don’t make them coincide. In this way, overlapping will be avoided: for example, at a certain moment you may find yourself simultaneously delivering favors, the arrival of older friends and relatives who leave, far too much to keep up with everything!
Remember it is YOUR day
I hate being in a hurry, don’t you? And if I think I must have the anxiety to do everything quickly on my wedding day, no, we are not there. So if you have big trips, or are planning a couple service in a place other than the wedding location, don’t have the minutes. Do not risk not eating anything at the buffet to be able to do the couple service, do not have the problem of having to say goodbye to the grandparents who are leaving because they have already started with the music and are inviting you to dance. Remember to ask for a second evening buffet (lunch guests might be hungry at some point), maybe opt for a free bar and no one will complain about anything. For this reason, getting married in the morning can be a good idea.
