Timing Your Wedding in Argentina – When to Go?
Argentina’s diverse geography means the climate varies by location:
✔ Spring (Sept-Nov) & Fall (Mar-May) – Ideal weather, especially in Patagonia and Mendoza.
✔ Summer (Dec-Feb) – Great for beach weddings, but can be very hot in Buenos Aires and Mendoza.
✔ Winter (Jun-Aug) – A dreamy snowy wedding in Patagonia? Yes, please!
A Few Tips to Make Your Wedding Extra Special
💡 Get the legal stuff sorted – If you’re not a local, research Argentina’s marriage requirements or hire a local planner to help.
💡 Think about transportation – Some locations, like Iguazú Falls and Patagonia, require extra planning for guest travel.
💡 Embrace the local culture – Serve an asado (Argentine barbecue), hire a tango show, and definitely include Malbec in your wedding toast!
