The Best Time to Get Married in Houston: A Guide for Every Couple
The first thing people are going to ask you after you tell them you are engaged is “when is the wedding”? This can feel like a loaded question since there are so many factors at play: Are you having an indoor or an outdoor ceremony? Are there religious holidays or times of year that you cannot get married in? How long do you want to take to plan your wedding? Are you sticking with some place local or a destination wedding?
To help stop your head from spinning from the endless questions on when the best time to get married is, I’ve put together this little article to help guide you in picking the best time to say “I do” in Houston. After being married for almost 15 years, I can tell you that when you find the right person, the best time to start the rest of your life is now but we all want to those perfect pictures and memories, too, so this article will help you decide what time of year that is for you 😉
Houston’s Seasons and Their Role in Your Wedding
Houston’s weather can go from picture-perfect sunny skies to muggy heat or unpredictable thunderstorms. Understanding the city’s seasonal patterns will help you choose a time of year that matches your wedding daydreams.
Spring Weddings (March – May)
Spring in Texas is celebrated for its clear skies, mild temperatures, and stunning blooms. March through May offers some of the most beautiful outdoor settings, making it a popular season for garden weddings or ceremonies on historic grounds like at Brandt 1910.
Why Spring may be your best choice:
- Temperatures typically range between 60°F and 80°F—ideal for outdoor ceremonies and receptions.
- Spring flowers like bluebonnets and wildflowers are at their peak, creating a romantic backdrop for photos and the drive out to more remote venues
Whether you’re driving from Sealy, Rosenberg, Fulshear, or anywhere else around Houston, getting to Brandt 1910 in the Spring is a beautiful experience. Picturesque hills roll past your window, dotted with an abundance of wildflowers that showcase the reason why many people say Spring is the best time of year in Houston.
Summer Weddings (June – August)
Summers in Houston can be tricky. With highs often reaching over 90°F and high humidity levels, many couples opt for an evening ceremony and venues with indoor reception space to keep guests comfortable.
Why summer weddings can still work at Brandt 1910:
- Longer daylight hours give photographers ample time to capture stunning golden-hour photos
- Flexible vacation schedules make it easier for out-of-town guests to attend your big day
Summer weddings are absolutely gorgeous at Brandt 1910. We’ve had numerous summer weddings in the garden area that didn’t feel too hot or stuffy at all. Ample shade and plentiful ice-cold drinks help you and your guests stay cool during the summer months. After the ceremony, walk into the beautifully restored 4,000 square foot ballroom for a night of fun and memory-making with refreshing air conditioning to keep you cool all night long.
Fall Weddings (September – November)
Fall continues to reign as Houston’s most popular wedding season, and for good reason. By late September, the blazing summer temperatures start to taper off, and the cooler, more comfortable weather rolls in.
Why fall weddings are a top pick:
- Rich autumn colors and cozy décor themes elevate your celebration
- Vendors and venues still have availability compared to busier spring dates
- October is a particularly coveted month—it offers Houston's most consistent weather with minimal rainfall
At Brandt 1910, nothing beats a crisp fall evening with our stunning, historic venue lit up under a soft golden sunset.
Winter Weddings (December – February)
Winter weddings in Houston might not include snowy landscapes, but they offer a special charm all their own. With cooler weather and unique décor opportunities, they’re an excellent choice for couples looking to stand out.
Why winter weddings are worth considering:
- Fewer crowds and off-peak months mean more venue availability.
- Creative winter themes with metallics, candles, and evergreen accents can make your day extra magical.
- Temperatures average between 50°F and 70°F, making it pleasant but not chilly.
Brandt 1910 offers cozy seating areas both inside and outside that are perfect for winter wedding ceremonies and receptions.
The Best Time of Day for Your Houston Wedding
Once you’ve settled on the season or month, the time of day is your next big factor. You may think that evening weddings are the way to go but I wouldn’t overlook the other options.
Morning & Brunch Weddings
Why it works: Best for couples on a budget since venues often charge lower rates for morning weddings. Plus, fewer vendors may be booked earlier in the day. These create a relaxed, casual atmosphere with bright natural lighting.
At Brandt 1910, you are welcome to set up the day before if there isn’t another event, which gives you plenty of time to get ready and prepare for your big day if you want to get married early.
Afternoon Weddings
Why it works: The wedding party and their guests have plenty of time throughout the morning hours to get ready and take their time. Afternoon ceremonies are ideal for weddings that have a lot of guests driving from long distances that are not staying overnight or older guests who do not like driving in the dark.
Evening Weddings
Why it works: The most popular choice for couples who want a more formal and romantic vibe. Evening weddings pair beautifully with the historical Brandt 1910, where soft string lights are draped over South 1st Street in Wallis and dramatic theatre-style front porch lighting awaits for that picture-perfect grand exit.
Why 2025 is the Best Year to Get Married
Post-Pandemic Clarity
I’m pretty sure I was over talking about the pandemic several years ago but it did happen and its effects continue to reverberate with each passing year. The last couple of years have taught couples what matters most—intimate celebrations focused on love and connection. With planning horizons clearer than they've been in years, 2025 offers the perfect time to create meaningful experiences, and many couples aren’t taking years or even months to plan their dream wedding anymore.
Get Ahead of Rising Wedding Costs
Did you know wedding costs increase by 3-7% each year due to inflation and market demands? Venues, florals, catering—every detail gets more expensive the longer you wait. If you’re making your budget for a wedding that will take place more than a year from now, increase your budget by at least 5%. Book your 2025 date now before rising prices have a chance to eat into your budget.
Brandt 1910 had phenomenal rates and available dates left for 2025 Weddings and Receptions. Check out our Venue Pricing and 2025 All-Inclusive Packages.
Timeless Moments, No More Waiting
Why wait for perfection when you can create it now? After years of postponements and scaled-back celebrations, couples are now leaning into more intentional weddings—smaller, personalized, and meaningful. 2025 aligns with budget-friendly pre-planning options and gives you time to craft the perfect celebration.
At Brandt 1910, we know the beauty of acting on the present. Since 2023, our restored historic venue has witnessed countless timeless wedding moments, and we’re so excited to help you create yours.
