Summers can be genuinely hot — into the nineties — but the community's inland character makes cooler early-morning and evening ceremonies practical. Fall is consistently excellent for outdoor ceremonies. El Cajon has the largest concentration of Chaldean and Iraqi immigrants in California, a fact that shapes its wedding market significantly.
