Past Iberostar Suites brides - do you remember the choice of start time for the ceremony?

Can someone who has recently gotten married at Iberostar Suites in JA, tell me what the optional ceremony start times are? Thanks!

If you are still in need of an answer to this question in the wedding packet that I have it says that the resort "suggests having the ceremony between 4:00pm and 5:00pm because the heat of the day has passed and you will still have light to take quality photos after the ceremony. Also by 5:00pm almost all the activities around the pool and beach are over so you can have more privacy during the ceremony."

 

I hope this helps!

Thank you! I did write down that we want to get married at 4:30, but now I'm wondering if we should push it back to 5?

I requested 5 pm. I believe the sun sets around 7p...

 

This is my time line:

5:00pm-6:00pm ceremony (I believe the ceremony is only 30 minutes long but I figured give some extra time because wedding ceremony's usually don't start on time)

6:00pm-7:00pm pictures/cocktail hour  

7:00pm-10:30pm reception

 

That's what I have planned in my head for the time line but we shall see:)

I had written down 4:30 for ours, but I am thinking perhaps pushing it back to 5 would work out best. This way there's isn't too much of a gap between the ceremony, pics and the reception. I'm so excited!

You should be so excited its is going to be one of the most important days of your life!!

That sounds like a perfect schedule. I'm getting married at the Grand 12-3-11. My photographer told me that the sunsets earlier in December so I might want to start my wedding around 4-4:30 so we can take our photos while the sun is setting.
