Outdoor wedding in June

Hello everyone I live in southern California and it gets pretty warm during summer. I'm thinking probably 90s to be honest. The venue is all outdoors though there is a patio of sorts with a roof where the reception will take place. The ceremony begins at 4:30 so I'm hoping it will start cooling down by then. I'm concerned though that it may be too hot still and am needing ideas of how I may help alleviate this. The dress attire will also be semi formal and I do not expect people to come dressed in floor length dresses and tuxes so maybe I could suggest on our wedding website wearing light clothing and warning people ahead of time of the venue set up and such?

You can keep people cool by finding an indoor venue. I will in no way spend 6 hours in the heat just covered by a roof surrounded by a ton of people creating more heat. Everyone will be gross and sweaty and sticky within an hour.

I went to an outdoor wedding in June in Claremont. We were all fine. You're doing what you can. Good luck.

Are you able to get some sort of drapes/covers (like the ones that surround a covered tent) to put around the patio? If you get the portable AC units, having the sides of the patio covered might help keep the cold air in.
