What is the Best Season to get Married in the Bay Area?

According to many Wedding Planners, Travel Writers, and Lifestyle Enthusiasts (and even Google and AI agree)... The Best Season is Winter! And the time to BOOK is NOW.

🦄☔️❄️❤️ Winter: November to Mid-March 💍💋🌬🌤

Winters in the Bay Area are mild, with average temperatures around 51F – 55F. Although the Season can be quite wet....
our elopement and wedding couples still love it as the area quiets down, and there's a certain charm to the winter mood, especially around the holiday season.

💒🫂 Temperature: Cooler, with a chance of rain
🩵❤️ Tourist traffic: Even less crowded
🪩🎏 Cost: Likely to find off-season discounts for your hotels, meals and all other activities.

Seen here a Winter Wedding in December, 2023. At Butterflute's Wedding Chapel in the Historic Boatyard & Marina.
