When it comes to choosing the perfect season for your wedding, summer holds a special appeal for many couples. From vibrant outdoor backdrops to longer daylight hours that stretch celebrations into golden evenings, the advantages are endless.

 

In this article, Amanda, GP’s resident wedding expert and seasoned event director, brings her extensive experience—gained from working on hundreds of weddings across New York City’s most sought-after venues—to highlight the top three reasons why a summer wedding could be the ideal choice.

 

Whether you’re envisioning a chic city rooftop or a scenic outdoor ceremony, Amanda’s insider insights will help you make the most of every summer advantage while crafting an unforgettable celebration.

 

#1 Fruitful Farmland

Encouraged by the early spring rain, farms are at peak production, providing a wide variety of fresh produce to incorporate in your menu. Few fruits and vegetables are off limits in the summer months, making it all the more enjoyable to craft the perfect assortment of dishes to accompany your big day. Our very own organic farm in Hudson Valley, Katchkie Farm, is always a source of great inspiration to us here at GP, especially during the summer season.

#2 Fun Food Activations

Drawing from nostalgic summers past, implementing related fun food activations is a perk of planning a wedding for the warmer months. Ice cream trucks and pool-side inspired petit fours are both engaging and delicious, sure to be enjoyed by all of your guests.

#3 Flourishing Florals

If sand’s not your thing, no worries! A lush garden wedding is guaranteed to be just as much of a hit. Similar to the flourishing farm, gardens everywhere will be in full bloom, making for the perfect fairytale-style setting in which you can begin your Happily Ever After.
