Galveston is one of the most unique wedding destinations on the Gulf Coast — historic brick architecture, charming downtown streets, warm ocean breezes, and venues like THEOS that feel intimate, aesthetic, and unforgettable. But because it's a true island city, the month you choose can dramatically affect your experience, your photos, your budget, and even your guests' comfort.

This guide breaks down the best months to get married in Galveston, what to expect, and insider planning tips for 2025–2026.
