Best Time To Get Married at Crook Point
May through October is definitely my first suggestion for weddings at Crook Point. However, the Oregon Coast has many beautiful moments in all seasons! Choosing the best time to elope on the Oregon Coast depends on your preferences for weather, scenery, activities and crowd levels. Here are a few considerations:
- Spring (April to June):
- Weather: Mild temperatures with occasional rain showers.
- Scenery: Spring brings lush greenery and blooming wildflowers, creating a picturesque backdrop for your elopement.
- Crowd Levels: Typically lower than in the summer months, allowing for more privacy while visiting popular coastal spots. One of the many benefits of Crook Point as your wedding locations is the secluded location and privacy it offers on this estate.
- Summer (July to September):
- Weather: Warm and sunny days, perfect for beach ceremonies and outdoor activities.
- Scenery: Stunning sunsets and clear skies make for breathtaking photo opportunities.
- Crowd Levels: Higher than other seasons.
Regardless of the season, The Oregon Coast is unpredictable and you should have an indoor backup plan for all seasons. We also recommend having a light sweater or jacket for the evenings, even on good weather days, as the ocean breeze can add a slight chill. Some Brides have worn fur coats or shawls as an elegant way to stay warm. Inquire about Crook Points outdoor space heaters!
