Wedding day rain plans | Wedding Venue St Joseph, Mo
When you plan a wedding in Missouri, there’s always one unpredictable guest: the weather. At Emerald Acres Wedding Venue near Cameron about 45 minutes from St. Joseph, Missouri, we’ve seen it all—sunshine, sudden storms, and everything in between. Recently, we hosted a wedding where it rained most of the morning, only to clear up into the most beautiful evening for their ceremony and reception. Thanks to our covered porch, the couple and their guests never had to stress.
A Venue That Plans for Weather
One of the standout features of Emerald Acres is the covered, concreted porch that wraps around three sides of the building. Whether it’s a gentle drizzle, a sudden downpour, or even intense summer heat, this space provides peace of mind and comfort. Couples know they can enjoy their day without worrying about muddy shoes or soggy wedding attire.
Why Couples Love the Porch
Weather Protection – Perfect for cocktail hour, portraits, or mingling if the weather takes a turn.
Versatility – Decorate it with greenery, lights, or drapery to create a dreamy extension of your indoor reception space.
Guest-Friendly – Keeps everyone dry, shaded, and comfortable.
Photography-Friendly – Even on cloudy days, the natural light paired with a covered space makes for gorgeous wedding photos.
A Real Wedding Example
During the recent celebration of Hannah and Seth, the couple were able to take photos outside under the porch. After the ceremony during cocktail hour the guest were able to enjoy the nice weather while also staying dry on the concrete. The porch created a seamless flow between the indoors and outdoors, making it easy for the party to continue no matter the forecast.
Their photographer, KP Photography, captured stunning moments throughout the day, from cozy covered porch portraits to sunlit bridal shots.
“During our wedding day, it rained all morning and in to the afternoon. As a bride I was worried until I realized we could take all of our pictures underneath the awning of Emerald Acres. It was a relief knowing we wouldn’t get wet, hair wouldn’t get messed up or we would have littles splashing in puddles and getting wet! We could also still have the aspect of all of our pictures still taking place outside! Emerald Acres truly accommodated to my husband and I and made sure our wedding day was perfect even with it raining!”
