There’s something unmistakably enchanting about summer. Maybe it’s the long, golden days that stretch into star-kissed nights, or the way flowers and fruits burst into their fullest expression, transforming farms and gardens into lush, vibrant playgrounds. For couples looking to say “I do,” summer offers a season rich with warmth, joy, and celebration.

At Great Performances, we’ve had the pleasure of crafting unforgettable summer weddings, each one radiating with the energy and light of the season. Whether you’re dreaming of an elegant garden affair, a rustic-chic barn reception, or a glamorous rooftop soirée with sweeping sunset views, summer is a season full of bold possibilities.

Why Summer?

Summer weddings capture the spirit of abundance and light. From June through August, New York and the Hudson Valley come alive with ripe fruit, blooming fields, and warm breezes. Our farm is in its prime, overflowing with sunflowers, heirloom tomatoes, herbs, and other seasonal delights that inspire both our menus and floral arrangements.

You’ll enjoy late sunsets that give you more time for outdoor celebrations and breathtaking golden-hour photography. Summer also offers a wider window for alfresco dining, lawn games, and barefoot dances under the stars.

A Few Planning Tips

Think shade and hydration – Summer temperatures can soar, so plan for shade, fans, or elegant parasols for guests during ceremonies. Refreshing drinks stations with fruit-infused water or chilled signature cocktails are a must.

Seasonal bites – Lean into the season with light, fresh dishes that feature summer’s best produce. Our culinary team loves creating menus with chilled soups, grilled vegetables, and farm-fresh desserts.

Stay cool – Consider attire that’s breathable and event-friendly, and chat with your stylist about weather-proofing your hair and makeup for heat and humidity.

Summer Weddings, Your Way

Whether you imagine saying your vows under a floral-draped arbor, clinking glasses at a vineyard estate, or hosting a weekend-long celebration in the country, summer provides a perfect stage.

At Great Performances, we collaborate closely with our couples to shape their summer wedding vision—every element grounded in creativity, sustainability, and genuine hospitality. If you’re dreaming of a wedding filled with sunshine, laughter, and peak-season beauty, we’re ready to help bring your day to life.

Let’s create something radiant together.
