Why Florida pricing inverts
- Peak season is Nov–Apr. Snowbird season, no hurricanes, comfortable temperatures.
- Hurricane season (Jun–Nov) drops venue rates 30–50% but adds real risk.
- Summer humidity kills outdoor ceremonies — most venues require indoor backup.
- Destination weddings from northern states make up >40% of Florida bookings.
