How cold is too cold for outdoor ceremony and reception? Sonoma Oct 2026
I’m getting married in October at an all outdoor venue in Sonoma. The ceremony starts at 4:00 pm and reception goes until 10:00pm. Historically temps in October range from 68-75 during sunlight but can drop all the way to 50 at night. I’m getting a bit worried about guest comfort. We have rented 6 heaters and I’ll be getting blankets for guests. There is an in door plan b for me but if we do that then we loose our full bar and have to only serve wine and beer ( their liquor license changes I guess). Any past fall Sonoma or Napa brides dealt with this before? Any other tips for guest comfort?
