One of the best reasons to get married in New England is due to the region's vibrant seasons. Temperatures can be somewhat extreme in summer and winter, and more moderate in fall and spring. Fall foliage is exquisitely colorful in Hartford, although you can rest assured that nothing will steal the show from you and your loved one. Winter brings with it snowy afternoons and cold temperatures, but winter weddings can lend an air of intimacy and coziness that other seasons don't. Spring in Hartford means your wedding pictures will be filled with colorful wildflowers whereas summers promise sunshine and moderate humidity.
Any time of year is an excellent time to tie the knot in Hartford, but it's important to note that the late summer and early fall months are appropriately referred to as hurricane season.
