Daytime wedding with lunch timeline

A day-of timeline for a late-morning ceremony followed by a buffet lunch reception. Open it in the timeline tool to change anything.

Daytime weddings start early and end by late afternoon. They often cost less, and guests with children or long drives appreciate them.

What to plan for

  • Hair and makeup starts very early, so book enough artists and confirm the venue's opening time.
  • Midday sun is harsh. Plan shade for the ceremony and portraits, or an indoor backup.
  • Lighter food, brunch-style menus and daytime drinks fit the timing.
