Why couples love summer celebrations at The Rooftop

Summer weddings at The Rooftop are all about effortless beauty, ease, and unforgettable views. Whether you're planning a full wedding day or heading over after a temple ceremony, The Rooftop offers the perfect setting for a vibrant, elevated celebration.

Here’s why couples choose The Rooftop for their summer “I do”:

Bright & beautiful afternoon light - Our most popular ceremony time is between 1–3pm, when the natural light is fresh, flattering, and perfect for photos. No need to wait for golden hour—this space shines all day long.
Reception-ready after temple ceremonies - If you're planning a temple ceremony earlier in the day, The Rooftop is an ideal spot to gather afterward for a stylish, relaxed reception. The flow from sacred to celebration feels effortless, with plenty of space for dinner, dancing, and memorable moments with loved ones.
Indoor/outdoor flexibility - With open-air design, shaded spaces, and a climate-conscious layout, you and your guests can stay cool and comfortable—even during peak summer temps.
Modern meets romantic - The clean architecture and skyline views provide a stunning blank canvas for any wedding style—from minimalist to garden-inspired, elegant to colorful.
