When to Plan a Beach Wedding in Ocean City
Timing is everything on the beach. The best time to plan your ceremony depends on your season and style.
Spring & Fall (April–June | September–October)
Mild weather, fewer crowds, and golden sunsets — ideal for romantic evening ceremonies.
Summer (July–August)
Peak season! Plan your ceremony early in the morning or about 1–2 hours before sunset to avoid the heat and beach crowds.

Peaceful and intimate. Perfect for elopements, micro weddings, or vow renewals with gentle winter skies as your backdrop.
