Seawatch Ceremony & Reception Time Suggestions

lwav8176 · July 25, 2009

Hello,

I am currently looking into booking my wedding ceremony and reception at the Seawatch restaurant and am hoping some past Seawatch-brides can help me with my questions...

What time do you suggest to have the ceremony to give ample time for photographs before dinner? I would also appreciate dinner start time suggestions.

Also, what do the guests do while photographs are being taken?

Thank you in advance!

I'm not getting married at Seawatch, but wanted to offer you some ideas. Our ceremony is scheduled to begin at 4:00 to ensure that we'll have sufficient time for photos after the ceremony and before the sun sets at 6:20. Our wedding planner and the church's representative verified that this would be enough time. I would recommend checking the sunset schedule, thinking of a timeframe and then confirming with the Seawatch restaurant. Good luck!

Isaac's cousin got married at the Seawatch so I asked him for you. =)

They did their ceremony at 4:00 and the pictures were from 5 to 6:30, with dinner starting at 6:30. Despite doing everything at the Seawatch, they still think they would have preferred an earlier ceremony because the pictures were very rushed and they didn't get all that they wanted.

In terms of timing --> apparently their bar starts at 5:30, so you probably want to start the cocktails then. But don't delay your dinner too late because the restaurant closes at 10 pm!

Hope that gives you more of a timeline!!
