Check out what the temperatures are like year round before booking a date with your wedding venue! Phoenix gets uncomfortably hot during the summer months between May-September. If you’re planning a wedding at one of the locations during those months, you’ll want to make sure they have an indoor option for your ceremony or reception. Another option would be to check out wedding venues in Northern Arizona if you want to avoid the heat!
