Wet weather plans
What are all possible wet weather plans/ideas we should consider for a spring wedding? I feel it rains a lot in spring, but we really want to have a spring wedding.

Hello,
All of our areas are undercover.
Most of our couples have their ceremonies accross the road from us by hiring out a space through council. In case of rain we always do our best to accomodate guests and move the ceremony into the restaurant.
Feel free to contact us directly if you want to enquire further.
Kind Regards
