How will the weather be?

Answer

Cold...maybe Monterey CA is not known to have 4 seasons every year. Although January is not the wettest month of the year it is a possibility. The temperature stays between 55-65 during the day and can drop to the low 40s at night. Although the ceremony is inside the reception venue is both inside and outside so please bring a jacket and dress in layers! There will be fireplaces, outdoor heaters, and a hot cocoa bar!
