Which Would You Prefer?

I'm looking to have my wedding in August. In WI where the humidity is usually terrible (what a great idea, huh? Lol). Anywho, my venue has a really gorgeous looking chapel, but it has NO A/C. The other option at the venue is to have the ceremony outside.

Our ceremony will be 20 mins, tops. Would you prefer to be outside or in the chapel w/ no a/c?

    Neither! Haha but seriously I have been to an outdoor wedding in IL (with the same awful humidity) on a 90+ degree day and it was absolutely TERRIBLE. The ceremony was about 20 min. but most people get there early, so now you're sitting around for over 30 min. There wasn't a whole lot of shade either.

    Will the outside area have shade? If it does, I would almost say outdoors because I think you'll get more air flow than being inside in a stuffy chapel with no A/C that's enclosed. If you can have it in the shade and provide fans (could do program fans if you wanted to) and maybe also provide some water, I think that would be a much better idea. Is there no where else you could have it inside with A/C? You're still over a year out.

    Outside.  Put up a tent, bring in some fans.

    Inside during high heat is just miserable.  No air flow and it gets hot fast.

    Outside for the ceremony
    Use the inside for your wedding pics

    Neither. I attended an outside wedding a few days ago where it was 104 degrees and the humidity was awful. They had fans going, but it just felt like a dog was breathing in your face. 

    ETA: Their ceremony only lasted 10 minutes, but with some emergency they had going on it started over an hour and a half late. Everyone was drenched with sweat and I'm honestly surprised no one had a heat stroke.

    Could you visit the chapel this August on a hot, humid day to see what it feels like? Whether you decide to have the ceremony inside or out, look into renting some huge fans to keep the air moving.

    Neither. 
    I live in the Tampa Bay area, and no one goes to weddings that are inside-no-AC or outside weddings between June and September.  They just won't go.
    I'm from the Detroit/Toledo area, and I wouldn't go to an August wedding with those conditions either.
    Get married at this venue on the last weekend in October or the first two weekends in November.  When it's cool.

    Down here in Texas I believe they now rent out portable A/C units...not the kind that go in a window, but more like a large room heater only A/C.  Might be something to check into
