Calgary weather is hard to predict, but expect daytime highs averaging around 18°C (64°F) and cooler evenings with lows near 5°C (41°F). While the month is relatively dry, there's a slight chance of light rain or even early snow flurries (it is Canada!) The ceremony is outside, but the reception and dancing will all be indoors. We recommend bringing layers and a light jacket to stay comfortable throughout the day and evening.
