Tucson Weather--how Hot is Too Hot for Outdoor Wedding

Simone, on May 12, 2019 at 5:32 PM Posted in Arizona Planning 0 5

So, we're having an outdoor wedding and ceremony. We keep going back and forth on the date. Ideally, we'd like to do it the weekend of 4/10 or 4/17. I think the average is about 85-88 that time of year. But our ceremony would start about 5:30, 6pm when temps hopefully start going down. The other options available at our venue are 3/7 or 3/14, but looking at the temperate it can go down to about 55 in the evening (during our reception) and that's too cold for me. Can anyone offer some insight into what you think about having an April wedding outdoors in the early evening? I used to live in Tucson years ago and I know that while 80s is hot, it's not like here on the East Coast where the humidity makes you wanna die, even in the 70s. Thanks!

    Hey Simone!

    Personally, I think you should do what you feel is better for your wedding. If you feel like the alternative weekend options may get a bit too cold for you, then go for your original timeframe. Your guests will know that it's going to be hot and will dress accordingly. You will also be able to make plans to help people with the heat, like providing areas of shade and plenty of water. I feel like as long you factor the heat in and plan for it, it will be fine! Will your reception be outdoors too?

    Yes, reception outdoors too. Turns out warmer dates atent available so we have to go with 3/14, which isnt so bad. I love this venue. Keeping my fingers crossed the weather will be nice and toasty.
