What Time Of Year Should You Get Married in Moab?
Summer—As a lover of the desert, let’s just get Summer off the table. I know, summer is when it’s easiest to get time off work. Maybe you’re in school and have summer break. In that case, I recommend heading to higher elevation and booking an elopement in Yosemite National Park instead because it gets HOT in Moab, UT in the summers. And since these spaces deserve playing between outside and in, you don’t want to be sitting in the 100 degree heat nor do you want to be trapped indoors looking at the beauty. TLDR: Summer? No.
Fall/Spring—aka the “shoulder seasons” as we call them in these outdoorsy towns. I’m a huge fan of fall and spring in the desert. I’d say starting in October there are lovely temperatures, moderate weather, and fall colors! Fall colors AND red rocks? I know HOW DREAMY. Same goes with the springtime! Temperatures begin to warm up in April and stay nice until beginning of June. I’d say the fall and spring are the most ideal time for getting married in Moab.
Winter—okay so do you want to know my secret? I love the desert in the wintertime. It’s quieter than any other season regarding fellow travelers and tourists. The snow adds a depth of beauty like no other. There are some concerns when it comes to muddy roads and closures but with the right attitude you can truly have an incredible experience here in the winter months.
A Photographers Take On Red Earth Venue
The way sunlight flutters through the windows all throughout the day is stunning and the whole spaces plays with the “outside, in” feel. As a wedding and elopement photographer, my eye is drawn to spaces that allow the natural beauty to be a part of each space I’m in. I’m also an avid outdoorswoman and lover of the desert. So when I put myself in your shoes, I was looking for a space that kept the outdoors close, honored the beauty of the red desert, and also offered minimal impact to that beauty. One of the main reasons I love Red Earth Venue is how intentional they are about easing the impact their weddings have on the land they are stewards of.
