When’s the best month to get married in Rhodes?

The short answer: it depends on your priorities — but the long answer? Well, that’s what this post is here for.

Whether you're dreaming of blazing sunshine, lower prices, fewer tourists or perfect golden hour lighting, we’re breaking down month-by-month what you can expect from a Rhodes wedding, so you can pick the date that ticks all your boxes.

📍 Quick Overview: Rhodes Wedding Season

The wedding season in Rhodes typically runs from April to early November. During these months, the weather is warm, the island is buzzing, and venues are in full swing.

Winter weddings are technically possible, but most suppliers and venues close off-season, so we recommend sticking to spring through autumn for the best options.

🗓️ Month-by-Month Breakdown: Best Time to Get Married in Rhodes

🌼 April: Fresh, Peaceful, and Budget-Friendly

  • Temperature: 18–22°C

  • Pros: Lower prices, quiet venues, spring flowers, soft lighting

  • Cons: Unpredictable weather — occasional rain or cloud

April weddings in Rhodes are ideal for couples looking for something peaceful and romantic. The island starts to wake up after winter, everything’s green and blooming, and you can get better rates on venues and flights.

It's not boiling hot, which makes it perfect for formalwear — but do have a backup plan in case of a cooler day.

Best for: Elopements, smaller weddings, budget-conscious couples

🌷 May: Warm, Sunny, and Still Calm

  • Temperature: 22–26°C

  • Pros: Great weather, fewer tourists, ideal light, more venue availability

  • Cons: Limited swimming season for guests

May is when Rhodes really shines for weddings. The sun is out, but it’s not yet scorching, the sea is warming up, and the skies are mostly clear.

You’ll get the look and feel of peak season — without the chaos. This is one of the best months to get married in Rhodes if you want reliable sunshine and space to breathe.

Best for: Picture-perfect weather without the summer price tag

  • Cons: Prices rise, more tourists, can be too hot in formalwear

June weddings in Rhodes are popular — and for good reason. The island is in full swing, everything runs like clockwork, and the weather is consistent.

Sunsets are later, which is ideal for evening ceremonies followed by dinner under the stars. Just keep your cool in mind when planning hair, makeup and outfits.

Best for: Classic Greek summer weddings, golden hour lovers

🌞 July & August: Peak Heat, Peak Vibes

  • Temperature: 30–38°C (yes, really)

  • Pros: Full summer atmosphere, long days, great nightlife

  • Cons: Expensive, busy, very hot, limited venue availability

If you’re going for big energy, buzzing atmosphere, and a proper Greek summer — this is it.

But be warned: it’s hot. Like, properly hot. Ceremonies earlier than 6pm are a no-go unless you’re going for a poolside elopement. Suppliers are stretched, and prices are at their highest.

You’ll need to book at least 12–18 months in advance to get your first choice of venue and suppliers.

Best for: Big summer weddings, large groups, peak holiday feel

🍂 September: The Sweet Spot

  • Temperature: 26–30°C

  • Pros: Warm seas, amazing sunsets, fewer crowds, lower prices than peak

  • Cons: Slightly shorter days, still busy in early September

Many couples consider September the best month to get married in Rhodes, and we’d have to agree.

The weather is still stunning, the sea is warm from the summer heat, and venues become slightly more flexible. You still get the summer vibe — without the scorching temperatures or price hikes.

Best for: Sunset ceremonies, post-peak pricing, relaxed-but-glam feel

🍁 October: Golden Light and Autumn Calm

  • Temperature: 22–26°C

  • Pros: Affordable, quieter island, still warm and sunny

  • Cons: Shorter days, some seasonal closures begin

October weddings in Rhodes are calm, beautiful and budget-friendly. You’ll still get sunshine (especially early in the month), and the sea is still swimmable.

It’s perfect for couples who want romance without the drama — or are bringing older guests or young children who don’t want the full heatwave experience.

Best for: Affordable, romantic weddings with relaxed planning
