Hanafi Answer:
In order for the Walimah to be valid, it must be held after the couple "consumate" the marriage. This would take place by them being in privacy for a few minutes.

The sunnah practice was that the walimah would be held the day after the marriage, however if one does have it on the same night- after the couple spend time together in privacy- it would be ok, especially as, nowadays having it the next day leads to a host of other expenses, the incurring of which is completely contrary to the spirit and sunnah of marriage.

And Allah Ta'ala knows best
