With summer wedding season upon us, we thought it would be helpful to share some tips on hosting a successful al fresco soirée! Outdoor weddings are a highly desirable way to entertain and celebrate with guests, but they also pose potential challenges. That being said; strategic planning is important. Here are some key things to consider.

What to Consider for an Outdoor Tented Event:

1. No matter how tempting it may be, we only recommend using a clear top tent if you're getting married in a cooler month. Tents act like greenhouses so heat can build up even when it isn't particularly hot. For this reason, it's best to use them when the high is no more than 75 degrees. 

Unexpected details will inevitably pop up while planning a hometown wedding. However, when you add another destination into the mix, you open yourself up for even more questions and concerns that you might not have even known you had. Your locale of choice will impact every other aspect of your wedding, so it's important to take key factors into account before booking.
