Wedding Indoor or Outdoor

Colorado’s natural beauty is very tempting for outdoor Weddings, but what happens when….when it rains or thunders.

There are certain times in the Summer and Fall were strong rain or thunderstorms are present almost every afternoon. Experienced Wedding vendors will warn you about this. With precautions a Wedding can be saved and wonderful even with a great Rain.
Have a tent set up and properly secured for very strong gusts to protect musicians, DJ equipment and the Wedding guests. See if there is a barn nearby which could be cleared out in advance of the Wedding to have a shelter for the storm. Make sure heaters are available and functioning. Evening and nights in Colorado can be very chilling even in the Summer. Have some blankets or fleeces for your guests if you do not want them to leave with the first chill.

Plan only the Wedding ceremony outside and this right next to a warm, dry and cozy reception venue. Always have a bad weather option for the ceremony. Plastic or metal chairs are better to dry of then chairs with fabric. Have some towels ready for the worst case!

Generally you will have better chances for sunshine in the morning. The weather in the mountains changes very often between noon and the early afternoon in the Summer.

Good luck and if nothing helps you might be able to shoot great pictures with a rainbow
