More Outdoor Wedding Tips

Working with professional people when planning an outdoor wedding in a tent is a must. There are many things to take into consideration:

THE SITE:
  • Is it free of overhead wiring?
  • Are all the underground wires, sprinkling systems and telephone wires flagged?
  • The space where the tent will be placed cannot have any large tree limbs over it.
TYPE OF TENT:
  • Will it be a frame tent or a tent with center poles and ropes on the outside to secure it?
TENT SIZE:
  • Size is determined by the number of people attending the wedding.
  • Style of reception. Will it be a sit-down dinner or buffet style?
  • Size of the band and dance floor.
  • Size and shape of tables and number of tables required.
Your wedding ceremony can be beautifully done under a tent or canopy with aisle runner, stanchions, kneeling benches, candelabras, a wedding arch and other accessories. A professional rental company can help you coordinate all the extra details that must be imported for an outdoor event.
