Hi aimeelaco, Congratulations! I'm getting married on May 7th and I had initially choose 5:30 for the ceremony because i wanted that sunset lighting for my picture but i had to move it up a half hour to 5pm because i want a 4 hour reception and i was told the reception has to end by 11 (quiet time at the resort). So, ceremony @ 5pm then cocktail hour at 6 and reception starting at 7. Happy Planning!!
