There are a few ways for out-of-town wedding guests to get to your Los Angeles wedding venue. The Bob Hope Airport and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) are the two closest airports for wedding venues in the city.

This will be a good option for guests flying nationally as well as if your wedding venue is near Burbank, Pasadena, Glendale, or the San Fernando Valley.

For international guests looking for a non-stop flight, LAX is the way to go. While it's a longer drive and train trip (40 mins to an hour) to wedding venues in the city, it's a good option if your venus is closer to Torrance, Santa Monica, Redondo Beach, or Inglewood.

Weather Considerations

As previously mentioned, Los Angeles is known for it's constant beautiful weather and temperate conditions, which makes it the perfect place to say "I do" at anytime of the year. Due to it's location, LA has a mediterranean climate with dry warm summers and mild winters. If you're hoping for a classic winter wedding, Los Angeles might not be the best choice when considering wedding venues. Temperatures in LA typically don't drop below 43 degrees or rise above 83 degrees.

The warm season lasts from early July to early October, with high temperatures averaging above 73 degrees. The hottest days are likely to be towards the end of August. Pro tip: It can get humid in Los Angeles, so if you're booking an outdoor or open air wedding venue, fans and misting machines are a great way to keep guests cool and comfortable. You can also serve drinks during the ceremony or consider giving fans as wedding favors. It's a great way to give beautiful and practical wedding favors. While it's always good to take precautions, the summer months, specifically August, are least likely to have any form of rain.

For the 'cold' winter months, you don't even have to consider snow. In Los Angeles it's a virtual impossibility. The 'cold' season lasts from the beginning of December to the middle of April, with daily temperatures averaging below 66 degrees. If you're planning on getting married at an outdoor wedding venue during the LA winter, consider going with thicker apparel. For brides, long sleeve wedding gowns are always a great look. For grooms, think about getting suits or tuxes in a thicker material like wool or tweed. And while LA is not known for having a great deal of rain, the most precipitation occurs around the end of February, so be sure to have a backup wedding venue available.
