I would suggest that their is a Plan B, along with a person who is designated to make the call to move to plan b.

As a professional, but also speaking from personal experience, I would always recommend a Plan B.

At my own wedding ceremony, our Plan B had to be rolled out when it started pouring with rain an hour before our outdoor ceremony was due to start. Even though it was early Spring and we'd had over 6 months of drought prior, you can't control the weather... so yes, always best to have a back up!

Always a great idea just to be on the safe side.

You should always have a plan B for changes in the weather.

When I was studying to be a celebrant, it was drummed into us to always have a plan B to fall back on should the weather turn. It's very sound advice.

It is always best to have a plan B in case, hopefully you won't need it but the weather is one thing we cannot control :)

Although some wedding photo's look magical in the rain, a Plan B makes life so much more comfortable and dry! You can always step out in gum boots and umbrellas if you have a great photographer.

The same goes for scorching weather, lets you enjoy the event instead of enduring it!

Yes, yes, yes! 

It's great to have a backup. That said, celebrants are professionals and we are good at thinking on our feet but a Plan B can put everyone's mind at rest in the case of bad weather!

I think a Plan B is vital, you can just never be too sure and you do not want a wet bridal party !!
