Is it a risk having a slightly outdoor wedding in August? Is it too cold?

My partner and I have finally decided on a venue and we are both in love with it - however it has an open area where the reception dinner is - it has a roof but has open walls. The venue supply mushroom heaters but i'm getting concerned that it will be too cold for guests. Does anyone have any experience in this? Thank you!

Average maximum temperatures in the winter months (June- August) are around 16°C

Hopefully your guests will feel warm enough with the love atmosphere @ your wedding, although a nice idea is to have scatter candles everywhere :):):)

Pending the time of day. Pick the time of the day when you get the sun heating up the ceremony area. People are aware its in winter so dress accordinaly.

August is a beautiful season and I find Guests dress accordingly. Most important that the venue has Plan A, B and C for the weather. We arrange Large Gas heaters to compliment our Pavilion.

Hi Emma, it is winter in August and can be cold and raining (not always though). You have the option of our Shearing Shed (indoor) or we can arrange a waterproof marquee. A winter wedding at Kingsford Homestead can be very romantic and some people do opt for this in preference to warmer months!

Day time should be fine - the evenings are cold, but you can keep warm around the camp fire.

King Parrot is located on the fringes of the Otway Ranges. Traditionally August is winter in the Southern Hemisphere therefore you would expect a cool day.Guests at King Parrot hire a marquee at this time of year with heaters lining the edges.
