Check, too, our Attractions, Beaches and Parks and Conservation chapters for more outdoor locations. Believe it or not, there are couples who want the ceremony on a boat. Look at the Watersports and Yachting and Marinas chapters for boat charters. Whatever venue you choose, you can make arrangements for seating, for champagne to celebrate the ceremony and for a focal point such as a moongate or a bridal arch to be set up. Go to a bridal consultant, and the staff will take care of these arrangements for you.
Outdoor weddings do happen in the winter.
Remember our temperatures rarely fall lower than 68 degrees, and the sun doesn't usually desert us. Still, it's always a good idea to have a plan B in case the heavens decide to open. Marry at a hotel, for example, and you'll certainly be assured of an alternative indoor location. Sometimes the bride and groom hold a reception in the same outdoor location as the ceremony, but more commonly, after posing for photographs and relaxing with a glass of champagne, the party departs to a reception or a meal held at a hotel or a restaurant, or indeed on a boat. Some couples opt for a quiet meal either on their own or with family.
