Back yard weddings can be budget friendly or they can be a gigantic production. It all depends on your budget.
Outdoor weddings can be beautiful and wonderful if Mother Nature cooperates. Rain, wind and the sun can cause havoc on a wedding day. The weather is unpredictable and you should always have contingency plans. A stand by tent or close proximity to indoors is a good idea.
Back yard weddings are very personal and provide a laid back ambiance to your wedding day. They are the ideal sweet and simple alternative to formal event venues.
Planning a Back Yard Wedding
- Your wedding vendors will have to come and inspect your home. The caterer has to determine if he can utilize your kitchen or if he has to construct a mobile kitchen.
- Are your grounds level? Will you have to build a subfloor to make sure that a dance floor can be placed and that the tables and chairs do not tilt.
- You may need to get a permit to comply with the bylaws, especially the noise level.
- Do you have enough bathrooms for your guests? You may have to consider renting portable bathrooms.
- Is there enough parking space? Do you need parking valet attendants?
- Your neighbors will have to be informed. You will have to invite them to the wedding so that complaints are not lodged.
- Do you have adequate insurance coverage in case of an accident?
If you do not budget carefully and consider all the items that you will require, a backyard wedding can be very expensive. You have to consider that you are going to transform your backyard into a banquet hall with furniture, décor and catering.
