Carson has plenty of resources for you to have an incredible wedding.

To make your wedding planning go smoothly, we found the best vendors that Carson City has to offer, from customized wedding invitations to party rentals. You can find wedding favors and gifts at Glinda's Accessories and make your reception into a Luau with authentic Hawaiian barbeque from Iwalanis Hawaiian Catering.

The weather in Carson is a bit cooler in the summer since it is close to the Pacific Ocean, so the heat will not be oppressive for an outdoor wedding.  If you are planning a May or June wedding, keep in mind that the mornings are often foggy due to "June Gloom".  The sun is usually out by early afternoon.
