We were curious to see what are your thoughts on the Slide shows at the weddings. When do you think is the best time to show them...during the cocktail hour, during dinner, or just have it play throughout the entire reception?

I'm late to this thread but here goes anyway, Depending upon the type of video or slide show, the time to show them can vary greatly.
We produce slide shows and videos and we supply the equipment to show them.
There are many types of slide shows including, simple loops, music video slide shows, videos and even same day edits of the wedding photos or videos.
Some, if not many, B&G's are very insecure about their first dance out on the floor with all eyes on them so we often produce music video slide shows from their photos and the music they will be dancing to. That way the guests are looking from the B&G to the video and back again. It's sort of like Dumbo's magic feather.
We also do slide shows on a loop without musical accompaniment or while music is playing but not linked to the music. We may run this for most of the reception so no one misses an image. Old family and friend photos scanned to JPEG bring back many memories. Family and friends will gather to watch them. Anticipate laughter, tears and hugs.
When a mother was unable to dance with her son (The Groom) we did a tribute to mothers with photos of the B&G's mothers with them while growing up and played it before the B&G’s first dance. We have also done music slide shows to be played during the Mother Groom and Father Bride dances.
We have several screen options from a 40” flat screen to a 9 ft rear projection screen that is draped and decorated in the bridal colors.
Perhaps the simplest way to incorporate a slideshow loop is to put them on a digital photo picture frame and place it on the table with the guest book. It can run continously so everyone will have an opportunity to see them and no part of the reception will be inconvenienced.
