Outdoor weddings are more popular now than ever before. Outdoor celebrations can be beautiful and in tune with nature. But hosting a large, outdoor event isn’t without its challenges. Make sure you consider the following 3 things before booking your outdoor wedding venue.
Seating
Even if you want a low-key ceremony where your guests gather around to celebrate your relationship while you make your vows, you’ll still want to make sure your guests have a place to sit down and take a load off. Depending on the venue you’ve chosen there may already be a pavilion with bench seating installed, or you may need to rent tables and chairs for your guests.
Bathroom Facilities
Having an outdoor venue away from civilization means you’ll need to consider where your guests will be able to use the bathroom. If there isn’t a restroom onsite you’ll want to make sure to rent portable bathrooms. Make sure to keep all of your guests in mind no matter their level of mobility with ada showers and toilets. Not only can portable restrooms be used for your guests, but they can also serve as a place for the bride and groom to get ready before the ceremony.
Food
Your wedding may be at a rustic barn, but you can’t expect your guests to eat out of a trough with the animals! Hire a catering company to take care of the food and beverages for your special day. Having professional bartenders and servers will take the responsibility off of you and your family and allow everyone to relax and have a good time. You may even want to consider hiring a food truck for the occasion for a fun twist!
Your outdoor wedding will no doubt look stunning in photos, but don’t forget to anticipate the needs of your guests in such a remote setting. When your guests are happy and comfortable your day is sure to go off without a hitch!
