Dates are stored in the format YYYYMMDD. To get only posts for a specific month, lets say July of 2015. You would need to dynamically insert the year and month into the following for whatever month you need.

    $args = array(
        'meta_key' => 'event_date', // name of custom field
        'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
        'order' => 'DSC',
        'cat' => '2'
        'meta_query' => array(
            'relation' => 'AND',
            array(
                'key' => 'event_date',
                'value' => '20150701',
                'compare' => '>=',
            ),
            array(
                'key' => 'event_date',
                'value' => '20150731',
                'compare' => '<=',
            ),
        ),
    );
