    Why not both being outdoor?

    Outdoor ceremony & an indoor reception. If the weather gets too cold, since we're having it in October, we'll move the ceremony inside.

    The plan is for an out door ceremony and a mostly indoor but flowing outdoor recreption, our venue has a truly magical old barn that they have redone into a reception hall and opens up to a really cool front deck area, ugh it's just so pretty and it's an evening wedding in October so it's going to be all crisp and orange and sunsetty, I'm just so excited

    We are planning on an short and sweet outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception. We are getting married at the end of September in the south, so who knows what the weather will be like or the bugs! I chose a venue that is all inclusive and that has indoor options so that if there is bad weather on the day of the wedding they will move the ceremony to the indoor location of my choice and all of my decorations and everything else will go with it. I loved that they have these options because I don't have to worry about finding a back up plan or making sure I don't forget to call my florist along with every other vendor and let them know that something has changed. They have multiple indoor and outdoor ceremony and reception locations on the property, but they only do one wedding a day so I will have access to all of them for pictures and what not.

    Outdoor ceremony, indoor reception. We're hoping to take advantage of our mountain scenery for the daytime, and then enjoying a mountainside reception indoors at a ski area. Our guests will get to ride the gondola to both the cocktail hour and the reception!

    Outdoor ceremony, of course it depends on what time of the year. We are doing an outdoor ceremony with an indoor reception. But on the patio of the venue, we are going to have a clear tent with a fire pit and couches around for anyone wanting to step out and enjoy the reception out there.

    Outdoor ceremony and indoor reception! Our wedding is in September and it’s still pretty hot on Arizona during that month, so we’re trying to keep most of the festivities indoors.

    Outdoor ceremony next to a lake with a cabin and then an indoor reception with a balcony overlooking a canyon!

    Indoor for both, live in Florida & not only can you not trust the weather(rain) but can never predict when we'll get a break from the hot weather.
