Summertime is approaching which means our favorite time of the year is almost here! There are so many benefits that come with having your wedding during the summer months but we also understand that there are a few “What Ifs” that pop into your head. If you have been on the fence about having that dream summer wedding of yours, then you’ve come to the right place! To help you in the decision making process, we’ve gathered all the reasons why the Hill Country’s Summer season is nothing to fear!
If you have always feared rain on your wedding day, then you will be happy to hear that the summer months in the Texas Hill Country tend to be much drier.
