Best Months to Get Married in Utah (+ How to Plan Around the Weather)
Utah Brides, Here’s What You Need to Know About Wedding Season…
Planning your wedding in Utah? The Beehive State might just be one of the most versatile wedding destinations in the country. From red rock elopements in Zion to dreamy temple sealings in Provo, you’ve got options year-round—but weather, crowds, and lighting can make a big difference in how your day plays out. Whether you're chasing wildflowers, fall leaves, or snowflakes, this guide breaks down the best time to get married in Utah—plus how to plan smart around the elements.
Spring Weddings in Utah (March–May)
Best for: Temple weddings, garden receptions, mountain photos
Spring in Utah is a mix of melting snow, fresh blooms, and a bit of unpredictability. March and April can still be chilly and muddy—especially in northern Utah—but by late April and May, everything’s in full bloom. It’s a favorite time for Salt Lake City, Provo, and Logan weddings, especially temple sealings followed by garden ring ceremonies.
Tips:
Have an indoor backup if you're planning anything outside before mid-May
Florals are more budget-friendly in spring
Invitations should go out by early March for May weddings
Days are longer, which is great for golden-hour photos

Summer Weddings in Utah (June–August)
Best for: Zion & Moab destination weddings, outdoor receptions, long daylight
Summer is peak wedding season in Utah—and it comes with sunshine, crowds, and heat. Southern Utah (think Zion, St. George, Lake Powell) can reach triple digits by June, so plan early mornings or shaded evening events. In northern Utah, venues book fast, especially around July 24th (Pioneer Day) weekend.
Tips:
Book your venue and vendors at least 10–12 months out
Offer fans, shaded seating, or frozen treats for guests
Keep makeup and attire heat-proof—Utah sun is no joke
Invitations for July/August weddings should be mailed by early June

Fall Weddings in Utah (September–October)
Best for: Canyon weddings, barn receptions, rich color palettes
Fall is a dream in Utah. The mountains pop with color, the heat chills out, and venues from Park City to Spanish Fork become fall wedding central. This is a top season for modern rustic, moody, or elegant barn weddings—plus it’s ideal for photographers chasing golden hour and red rock backdrops.
Tips:
Send invitations by mid-August for September weddings
Have shawls or blankets for guests at evening events
Consider earlier ceremony times—sunsets come faster in fall
Schedule engagement or bridal shoots mid-September for fall foliage

Winter Weddings in Utah (November–February)
Best for: Temple weddings, elopements, cozy indoor venues
Winter might be off-season elsewhere, but Utah brides know how to make snow magical. The Salt Lake and Provo temples are iconic in winter, and venues like Twenty & Creek, Siempre, and Walker Farms feel extra cozy with candlelight, velvet, and a bit of frost. Plus—discounts! Vendors and venues often offer better rates during the winter months.
Tips:
Mail invitations 8 weeks ahead (holiday shipping is slower)
Embrace seasonal florals like amaryllis, roses, and eucalyptus
Be ready for weather delays—especially in mountain areas
Create a warm guest experience: cocoa bar, lounge seating, or fire pits
