Outdoor Wedding Location Must-Haves
Getting the right location according to your vision is probably the most important aspect of the outdoor wedding venue. Select a place on the Giggster app after you go through the listings and visit it at least once to ensure it has everything you need.
Does the area have power access? You don't want your guests standing around in darkness. Make certain the ceremony and reception spaces have electricity and a backup generator. Candles may add ambience but can't be depended on as the main light source. You may want power for heating or cooling also.
What about restrooms? Guests will need access to clean restrooms throughout the ceremony and reception. Check that the facilities aren't too far from the celebration area so everyone is comfortable.
Have you thought about the decibel levels? Many outdoor wedding venues have strict noise regulations where you cannot play loud music after a set time. Check for permits and music curfews.
Planning Your Outdoor Wedding
An outdoor wedding reception in the Devon or Kent countryside can be the perfect setting for a garden wedding venue. However, organising the ceremony and reception can be a challenge.
Choose the Right Location – If you want to incorporate the great outdoors into your ceremony, secure a private estate with beautiful gardens and wild meadows.
Arrange the Logistics – You'll need experienced logistical assistance with transporting food, event hire, landscaping, and more. The music and sound system setup, catering tables arrangement, and furniture installation should be left to the professionals.
Plan the Decor – If you want to highlight the location, keep it as unblemished with artificial decor as possible. A few weather-proof fairy lights should do the trick to bring out the natural beauty of ancient woodlands.
Get a Wedding Planner – Hiring a wedding planner with experience in organising outdoor weddings can be a blessing on the day of. You can enjoy yourself throughout the ceremony and reception, knowing everything is being professionally managed.
Outdoor Wedding Hidden Costs
You'll find the best outdoor wedding venues in the UK. Some locations you can expect to see on the Giggster app are a country house wedding venue with beautifully landscaped gardens, Bath Botanical Gardens, an open area near Two Woods Estate, and more. Let's look at how you can secure a stunning outdoor wedding venue starting at £18/hour by understanding the hidden expenses.
Have you considered the tent and marquee setup?
Unlike indoor venues, you won't even have a ceiling! The weather in the UK is notorious for unexpected showers. You'll have to organise tents or marquees (for a larger, fancier function), which could add to your budget. The expense also includes installation, flooring, heating, takedown, and all lighting and ventilation.
What about generator and electricity backup?
When planning your outdoor wedding, always have a generator backup, even if your chosen ceremony area offers it. You never know when you'll need to plug it in for the lighting, music, and entertainment. Remember, hiring an experienced electrician to do the outdoor ceremony wiring is a must.
Have you thought about weather-proofing?
Apart from the marquee, plan for mosquito nets, umbrellas, heating blankets (for a winter wedding), and standing fans for circulation. If the flooring is on muddy or slippery ground, you may also have to pay extra to get it levelled.
