When is the Best Time to Plan a Wedding?

Planning a wedding is a significant milestone that requires careful consideration of many factors, one of which is the timing of your special day. Choosing the best time to plan your wedding can impact everything from the weather to vendor availability and guest attendance. 

At Bowling Brook Mansion, we offer a stunning venue that accommodates weddings year-round, ensuring that your dream wedding can become a reality no matter the season.

Spring Weddings

Spring is a popular time for weddings due to its mild weather and blooming flowers, creating a picturesque backdrop for your big day.


  • Weather: 

Spring offers moderate temperatures, making it comfortable for outdoor ceremonies and receptions.

  • Floral Abundance: 

Take advantage of the season’s wide variety of flowers to enhance your wedding decor.

  • Availability: 

While spring is popular, it’s not as busy as summer, so you may have more flexibility in booking your preferred vendors.

Summer Weddings

Summer is the peak wedding season, known for its long days and warm weather, perfect for outdoor celebrations.


  • Weather: 

Warm and sunny days are ideal for outdoor weddings, but consider providing shade and hydration for your guests.

  • Vacation Time: 

Many guests may have more flexible schedules due to summer vacations, making it easier for them to attend.

  • Vibrant Colors: 

Summer offers a wide range of bright and bold color palettes for your wedding theme.
