Catholic Ceremony Outdoors Question


Recommended Posts

My sister is considering a Catholic Ceremony for her wedding...her resort has a catholic preist who WILL conduct the full catholic ceremony at the outdoor gazebo but not the beach. This Gazebo is not in a shady area and the ceremony will be 45min - 1hour long. I told her that is a long time to expect guests to be comfortable in July..when the temperatures are at the hottest! I can just imagine this being a disaster with people feeling ill from heat exhaustion...

Have any of you attended a full catholic ceremony outdoors in the dead of summer? How did it go? Were people uncomfortable?

I think it probably will be pretty hot for everyone, but she could always provide fans/water bottles on the chairs - I am having a July wedding and will be putting raffia fans on each chair at the ceremony for people to fan themselves incase they get too hot while they are sitting through the ceremony which for us will be about 30 min.  Depending on her budget, she could also provide parasols in a basket at the ceremony - she would probably only have to get enough for the ladies as the ladies could share their shade with the guys!

 

Also, this is just my opinion, but since it is your sister's wedding and she wants to do the Catholic ceremony, I think that the guests should really just respect that...I mean, I've been to INDOOR Catholic ceremonies in the middle of the summer in Canada and I thought I was going to melt, at least outside at the gazebo, there will likely be an island breeze which will help.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
