the weather
Photography by Swope's Mountain Photography
While hosting a wedding on either side of the Tetons guarantees beauty and splendor, it can also bring unpredictable weather. Weather conditions differ around our mountain valleys and peaks, and temperatures often vary by ten degrees or more from one part of the valley to another.
For reasons more than weather predictability, summer continues to be
the most popular season for weddings. If you are considering a wedding
in the Tetons during June, July, or August, keep in mind that millions
of visitors pass through the area during the summer months, which translates
to full hotels, busy restaurants and caterers, and fewer available wedding
and reception sites.
Although the weather is less predictable, spring, fall, and winter weddings
in the Tetons offer natural beauty equal to summer’s, and with
fewer tourists, more vendor availability, and often lower prices. Regardless
of the wedding date you choose, be sure your location can accommodate
your needs given inclement weather.
