Would you like this as a guest or would it bother you?

Price has nothing to do with it.

There would be stations set up where things are cooked to order.

For me personally, I would love it. I dont eat breakfast in the morning but love the food it consists of so I like to have it for dinner. It might be a fun thing if you throw a breakfast steak in there.

When I read this question I already know that the reason you want to do this is because of the cost - serving breakfast is much less expensive than serving dinner. I'm sure a lot fo your guest will see this as a means of being cheap rather than innovative - especially the older ones. Here's some suggestions:
1. Have your wedding in the morning and have a breakfast reception - then people wouldn't think it was odd or cheap!
2. If you want to have it in the afternoon you can have a wedding followed by a simple cake, punch and champagne reception. Make sure you mention "Cake and champagne reception following the service" or "Cake and champagne reception from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m." This kind of reception should only be 2 hours and the latest it should end would be 5:00 p.m. Simply serve cake, punch, and inexpensive champagne.
3. If you're doing an evening wedding, then just have a champagne and hors d'ouveurs reception. Show on the invitation or reception invitation "Cocktail reception following the service" or "Cocktail reception from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m." Again not more than two hours and 8:00 p.m. would be the latest time the reception should last. If you're going to do a cocktail reception then you should serve at least 3 hot and 3 cold hors d'ouveurs to give your guests variety and let them fill up a bit.
Save money by limiting the cocktails - champagne, wine, soda. No mixed drinks and no beer - in the long run they cost more.
If you really want to serve a sit down dinner, cut back on the guest list, but remember, if you invite someone to the wedding its rude to not invite them to the reception. Whoever you invite to the showers must also be invited to the wedding.

Well, I think at your wedding you should do what you want. If you want breakfast...OK. Some of your guests may find it... different... but I don't think it would be that big of a deal. You can't please EVERYONE all the time! Actually, I could see everyone having a great time with it! Especially if you had omelet and pancake stations where the guests could make requests (like chocolate chip pancakes or blueberry pancakes... ham and cheese omelet or Spanish omelet, etc). Just a thought! Oh yeah, and instead of a wedding cake you could have a huge stack of pancakes with a little bride and groom topper... haha, maybe that's going too far...

I think it would be hard to serve breakfast foods for dinner and keep them warm. Omelette's? Pancakes? It would be different, that is for sure. Eggs don't do well unless right off the stove and immediately served onto a plate. Cereal is always a safe bet, but do you want that on your dinner. What kind of breakfast foods would you want? Do you want a buffet? I am honestly just asking, not being critical. I know a lot of people who love breakfast for dinner.

It's different but it's cool.
It would be weird if it was served at dinnertime. It'd be very different but nice if served in the morning. The only issue would be guests that travel and would have to arrive early enough to attend breakfast. Other than that, go for it.

No, the wedding is to celebrate the joining of two souls and a mere matter of the timing of meals shouldn't matter a jot to you! And in addition it's YOUR ceremony, so if you prefer it then, then it's up to you. However, if you have some really anal relatives who like things old school, weigh up the options :P
PERSONALLY, I wouldn't, y'know, necessary ASK for it, but I certainly wouldn't mind, and might even enjoy the kooky novelty factor of it. Would certainly make a change from the stereotypical wedding dinners :P

I would think it was sort of strange but I wouldnt mind.
You have to do what you want. A wedding reception is pretty much just a dinner party for your friends, an overally expensive one. As sad as it is it's true. You should at least eat what you want.

Guests don't have the right to be 'bothered' about your choice of food because they are guests. If you want to have breakfast foods then go for it... not only are they getting to go to an awsome party and celebration for free... you are also feeding them! I would dare someone to complain to me that they felt "jipped" by my food choices at my wedding. How rude.

I think it's a little odd, but it could be fun. Make sure that your guests KNOW about it beforehand, though, I don't think that's something that you should surprise them with. (People get really bent out of shape about what they think should happen at receptions!) You could put something on the reply cards that you send with the invitations, so they know what to expect.

That would be the funnest wedding dinner ever! Wouldn't bother me in the slightest, matter of fact, when my husband and I renew our vows, I'm gonna suggest we do that! Merry Christmas! :)
