That's usually on Saturday night after Shabbat. On any other day, Jewish weddings can take place during the day or night.
Answer:
It's an ancient custom. Quote: נהוג לערוך את החופה בשעות הערב, לאחר השקיעה או ממש לפניה, סימן לפרו ורבו ככוכבי השמיים לרוב.
Meaning, that the evening is an auspicious time, to signify the hope that the couple should be fecund, with descendants as numerous as the stars.
(Note that weddings on Saturday night are not customary. Talmud, Ketubot 4b-5a).
