Tips and Tricks

I’m not having a backyard wedding, but I am having an outdoor wedding and from my experience there might be some helpful things for you to consider....


I would think about getting a fully floored tent. Even if it doesn’t rain on your wedding day, it’s going to be fall, and if there’s any moisture on the ground from the night prior, and your guests are wearing open toed shoes, they might be pretty uncomfortable if they have to walk/dance on grass the entire night.
I would ask your friend if they have any sort of pest control mosquito lamps or if they have a company that goes out to spray etc.
Depending on what part of fall you’re thinking, you might want to think about outdoor space heaters just in case it gets cold.

Hi Brianna! The other things I'd make sure to think about are guest parking (which you might have covered with shuttles), bathrooms, and lighting!! Based on the time of day of your reception, you may need additional lighting for when it gets dark!
