Weather Information
If you are planning a wedding in Asheville, you should be aware that, while the weather is mild and agreeable most of the time, conditions change frequently. A favorite saying here is, "If you don't like the weather, just wait a minute, it will change." Meteorologists blame this on our location between two giant mountain ranges -- the Great Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge Mountains. We enjoy four distinct seasons, with snowy, cold winters, cool, rainy springs, hot, bright summers, and crisp falls with lots of color. While outdoor weddings look nice on t.v., most of them are filmed in sunny, dry Southern California. If any part of your event is going to be outdoors, we encourage you to plan for inclement weather. And definitely plan on cooler temperatures after dark. We can help you with local weather predictions, and we always create back up plans just in case.

More Weather Tips
July and August are the hottest months -- daytime temps are in the '90s, with super-high humidity. We often have afternoon showers between 3 and 5. Tents, fans, and water bottles recommended!
January and February are the coldest months, with lots of rain and snow. Not recommended!
March is the wettest month, with both rain and snowfall, but most spring months are rainy and cool.
(Some parts of WNC are wet all year -- Highlands is considered a "rain forest.")
April and November can be super cold or super warm; it just depends on the year. Plan for both. Snow in April is a still a possibility.
October is the driest month, with the most clear days. Trees turn colors mid-month and are spectacular!
September and November are also pretty dry. But expect cooler temps at night.
December is cold and has the most cloudy days.
