Choosing the Best Season for Your Pemberton Wedding

• Spring (September – November): Wildflowers are in full bloom, and the weather is mild—ideal for outdoor weddings. Spring is also when many of Pemberton’s unique gardens open up, providing vibrant colours and rich foliage as a backdrop.
• Summer (December – February): With long, warm days, summer is perfect for evening ceremonies and open-air receptions. Popular for vineyard weddings, this season offers great options for outdoor dining under the stars.
• Autumn (March – May): The colours in Pemberton’s forests and vineyards are simply enchanting in autumn. Cooler evenings lend themselves to fireside receptions, and the landscape transforms with earthy reds and oranges, creating a rustic, cosy feel.
• Winter (June – August): For an intimate, misty wedding, winter in Pemberton is unmatched. The weather adds a touch of romance, and Pemberton’s cosy indoor venues provide beautiful settings for a warm, inviting celebration.
