Weather Considerations

Denver's altitude gives it a cooler temperature than the surrounding area, however, it's position in the Rocky Mountains can bring snow at seemingly random times, so be prepared.

The warm season lasts from mid June to the middle of September with temperatures above 80 degrees. If you're hosting a wedding at an outdoor venue, consider having a covered area for guests to cool down. Parasols and fans can double as wedding favors and keep your guests comfortable. It's a win-win! It's important to note that thunderstorms can be experienced during the warm season, so have a backup plan if your wedding schedule is pushed back due to inclement weather.
