Outdoor Weddings: Site Visit

Today I will be doing a site visit on a family's property in Greenville, Ohio. Their wedding will be taking place in their backyard. In order to assure what rentals are needed to accommodate the number of guests and that the land itself will accommodate it, you need to make sure that you or your rental company take care of this. We offer this service to our clients, and afterwards, we'll sketch out a drawing for you which is to scale, like this one for a wedding we're doing on a family property this July. A common misconception is that it is cheaper to do a wedding at home under a tent than at a reception hall. This isn't usually the case.

Things to consider with outdoor weddings:

--Weather. Will you need air conditioning units (summer) or heaters (fall)?

--Chivari chairs will sink into the ground, so unless you're prepared to install flooring below the entire tent area, stick with white wood chairs.

--Your caterer will need a prep tent

--Setup will need to take place 3 days before the event

--Trash needs to be removed from the premisis that night or you will have animals during the night.

--Bugs. Consider using tiki torches around the tent to deter critters.

--Is the ground marshy? Guests with healed shoes will sink into the ground.

--Make sure that you provide a power source (outlets or a generator) for lighting, DJ / Band, and catering prep.

This cartoon says it all!

Photos and video, dead flowers, a dirty dress and lots of memories are all that will be left after your wedding. Budget appropriately for your photography!!
