The Best Time of Year to Get Married at The Sadie Jane
Thanks to The Sadie Jane’s indoor and outdoor ceremony options, and the indoor reception area, there’s no wrong time to get married at The Sadie Jane. However, the outdoor ceremony does have a best season
For the best weather for an outdoor ceremony, plan for a wedding in either October – November or late February – April. Temperatures will comfortably be between the 50s to 70s. There is a higher chance of rain in the spring, so if weather is your worry, aim for October or November. These are busy months though, so book sooner rather than later!
In the winter, The Sadie Jane’s elegant indoor reception area becomes a cozy haven, with its warm stone fireplace and twinkling chandeliers adding a touch of magic to your celebration.
For summer weddings, the open-air patio is ideal for enjoying cocktails and dancing under the stars, while the venue’s air-conditioned indoor space keeps everyone cool and comfortable. Whether you’re looking to cozy up by the fire or dance the night away under the stars, The Sadie Jane offers a perfect setting.
Most popular seasons: October – November or late February – April
