We've had a few brave weddings in the park - though everyone had to stamp their feet a lot and we rushed back inside for warm drinks! But it's been a loonnng winter for outdoor weddings, and spring may be the same, cold (or) muddy. Have a backup plan! A friend's sunny condo party room, indoors at Allan Gardens, a nice brunch wedding at a friendly bistro, an old-fashioned wedding at home around a fireplace, if you can find somebody who has one! Check the usual places, 'private dining' is a good google/yelp term. We're still planning outdoor elopements for a few hardy souls, but if your numbers are larger, the logistics for an outdoor wedding are tricky in early spring if you have to redirect guests to a different location due to weather problems. Thinking ahead, if you're planning an island summer wedding - buy those paper ferry tickets in advance! The lines are too long on hot summer weekends for wedding guests in dressup clothes. You also get a discount on paper tickets. Station a friend with a guest list at the docks to hand them out.
