Choosing the date of your wedding is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when the planning process begins. The date you pick will directly affect your budget, availability, guest experience, attendance, and planning for the weather of that particular season. Omaha is fortunate to experience all four seasons, each season offering its own charm and qualities. Here is a month-to-month guide to help you determine your perfect wedding date and the unique qualities that come with each season.

Spring Weddings: March - May

Known for its fresh blooms, perfect mild weather, and natural romantic atmosphere, spring tends to be couples’ first pick for their wedding day. As the city begins to warm back up after winter, spring brings extra life and beauty to your celebration.

March: With cooler temperatures and the occasional snowfall coming out of a Midwest winter, indoor venues are perfect for bringing a cozy and elegant ambiance to life, while still integrating a pre-fall aesthetic to your design.
April: As the temperature begins to rise, florals come out to play. Integrating natural elements will bring your venue space to life. Since the cold is finally going away, this month isn’t quite peak wedding season yet, so you are more likely to get better pricing than in other months.
May: This is one, if not the most popular, wedding month in Omaha. The weather is perfectly comfortable, not really hot yet, and the cold is nowhere in sight, giving you longer days and the perfect natural, green background for pictures. This month is ideal for any celebration.

Summer Weddings: June – August

Summer is the busiest wedding season in Omaha. Having longer days where you can fit more activities into, Omaha’s lively city and warm evenings are the perfect combination for the perfect wedding.

June: Another busy wedding month with its perfect temperature, it’s highly sought after for big celebrations.
July: Peak temperature month with July seeing more of the hottest days of the year, with higher humidity, making indoor venues ideal with air conditioning.
August: Not seeing cooler temperatures yet, August is still warm with less humidity than other months. August tends to have more vendor and venue availability while still having a summer wedding.

Fall Weddings: September – November

Arguably, the best season to get married is fall, which offers perfect weather and beautiful seasonal colors that are always a crowd favorite. Fall is a highly sought-after season as it’s the most comfortable temperature-wise, so prices tend to vary as well as availability, so be sure to book in advance in order to secure your spot for the season.

September: The most popular wedding month with a warm day and cool evening combination, making the weather ideal for any wedding style.
October: Coming out of the warmth of summer into the cool of winter, October introduces a crisp bite in the air with the romance of nature’s colors.
November: Getting into the cold of winter, November can be unpredictable, but it is perfect for cozy, warm, and inviting indoor weddings, bringing an early holiday feel to your celebration.

Winter Weddings: December – February

Best for: Budget-friendly options, availability, and intimate elegance

Winter weddings aren’t typically what couples want, but they are overlooked due to what the winter months can bring to a wedding. Winter months give you more availability with venues and vendors, wedding package prices tend to be cheaper, allowing you to save more money, and the atmosphere you can create during winter months brings a natural sense of magic, elegance, and warmth, regardless of the weather outside.

December: Adding a touch of festive feel, integrating holiday charm and warmth will make your wedding day feel extra magical.
January: One of the more affordable months, January is the ideal choice for couples who wouldn’t mind saving some money and who want to start off a brand new year married.
February: February is the month of romance, especially around Valentine’s Day, and allows you to create a truly intimate and intentional wedding celebration on another level.
