Question

What will the weather be like in Corona Del Mar?

Answer

California tends to be hottest during September and October, however we will be very close to the coast, so the marine layer may bring down the temperature. While our venue boasts that they have yet to host a wedding that got rained out, you might want a light layer towards the end of the night. At this time last year, the weather was a high of 80 degrees with a low of 68 degrees and sunny.
