The best months to marry in the mountains
| Season | Pros | Consider |
|---|---|---|
| April–May | Dogwoods, mild temperatures, green backdrops | Spring showers; have a Great Hall backup |
| June–August | Long evenings | Warm afternoons; plan later ceremonies |
| September–early November | Fall color, cooler air | Oktoberfest makes Helen lodging scarce; reserve guest rooms early |
| December–March | Best availability, cozy indoor receptions | Cold evenings |
