An outdoor wedding in March

I think it depends if the venue has an equally nice place indoors to hold he ceremony if the great british weather doesnt give you sunshine?

Hi,

Not at all! We are booked for the end of March 2014 and ours hopefully will be outside... Past couple of years March has been really mild and after this summer (blink and you will miss it!) I didnt want to fork out the extra just to end up having it inside anyway...

Fingers crossed for a sunny March!

Although if the weather is a disaster the inside is lovely too! Defiantly worth thinking about if your going for the outside!

I got married in March this year - it was one of the hottest days of the year. Not outside though.

As you say, a wedding outside in the UK is always a gamble. Personally I would never do it without a back up indoor space but if you have that and a March wedding will save you loads of moolah, I'd do it.

This is Britain - so who knows what the weather will do! Outside in July is certainly no guarantee of good weather so if you want to move it to March go ahead!

Our daughter got married the day after Kharv and it was in the 70's as she says. We were all outside in the sunshine and it stayed daylight till around 6pm ish which was a relief as I was a bit concerned it may be too dark for photos as they didn't get married till 3pm but needn't have worried. March/April has seen some lovely, mild days in recent years whilst the Summers have been a washout. You can save a lot by opting for an 'out of season' wedding and can save even more if you choose a Friday instead of a Saturday too!

Hi!

I've booked for 28th March 2014 as well. Mainly because the 28th March is our anniversary anyway but also as you say, the weather the past 2 or 3 years has been really good in March. My venue has stunning grounds which I would love my guests to be able to use but as much as I think the weather in March has been really good recently, I still wouldn't bank on it and would always have a back up plan if it pours down.

Good luck with all your planning!!

It's an old restored bandstand in the middle of a Park! If it rained people can come inside it, you can get 50 people in some standing, some sitting, so there is always that, if the weather was absolutely terrible I assume we could use the room in the Museum in which the bandstand sits in the grounds of. I'll give the wedding co-ordinator a call later and find out!

Thanks ladies!
