When do we decide to use a wedding backup plan?
You typically decide whether to use a backup plan on the morning of your wedding during a meeting with your coordinator. Your coordinator will review detailed weather forecasts, including rain probability and wind conditions. Based on this, they will guide you through your options.
Lower rain chances → you may keep your original venue
Around 50%+ chance → backup plans are strongly recommended
Final decision → always made by you as a couple
This process ensures you’re making an informed choice with the most accurate, real-time information.
Key Takeaway:
The backup decision happens on your wedding day, guided by real-time weather and your comfort with risk.
