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.

Styling ideas for a summer Rooftop wedding

Let your creativity bloom! Here are some on-trend ideas to bring your summer wedding vision to life:

  • Floral installations: hang florals above your ceremony space or create a full-flower arch.

  • Fruit-inspired centerpieces: fresh lemons, figs, or oranges add texture and color to tables.

  • Cocktail hour popsicles: offer frozen rosé pops or champagne sorbet to keep things cool.

  • String lights + lanterns: as the sun sets, lighting becomes everything—create a cozy glow with twinkle lights overhead.

Signature drinks for summer

Whether you're toasting with spirits or skipping the booze, a great summer drink adds something special to your celebration. Here are a few favorites perfect for rooftop vibes:

Cocktails

  • Lavender lemonade spritz – light, floral, and effervescent—ideal for a summer afternoon.

  • Frozen rosé (“Frosé”) – a chilled pink slush served in coupe glasses, as pretty as it is refreshing.

Mocktails & Non-Alcoholic Options

  • Blackberry Basil Sparkler – Bubbly soda water, muddled blackberries, and fresh basil for a tart, herbaceous treat.

  • Coconut Lime Cooler – Creamy coconut and tangy lime over crushed ice—it feels like vacation in a glass.

  • Dirty Soda Bar – Let guests mix their own fun combos with options like:

    • Coke + coconut cream + lime

    • Root beer + vanilla + cherry

    • Diet Dr. Pepper + raspberry + coconut

Include custom labels, colorful straws, and crushed ice for a playful, photo-worthy station.
