WHAT IS THE BEST TIME OF YEAR TO GET MARRIED? (WEATHER WISE)
While it is impossible to predict the weather on a day-to-day basis, we can tell you that generally, summer holds more rainfall than winter in this region. Winters are mild and mostly clear. November and December are quite rainy although there are beautiful sunny days too, and January and February are the hottest more humid months of the year on average. August and October are often windy months. April, May and June would be our safest options weather wise. The chapel will be set up as a backup should the weather conditions change. The use of the Chapel is included in the package.
PLEASE NOTE:
The Estuary is responsible for the basic set up of your cutlery, crockery and glassware. We will set out the tables and chairs and all linen supplied but the Estuary.
Table decorations, flowers, nametags, guest favours etc. can be done with a prior arrangement between yourselves and the wedding coordinator.
