Weather at an Outdoor Venue
An important factor when booking an outdoor venue is the fact that certain rentals must
be considered to keep your guests comfortable. These costs should be seen as an inherent
cost of having an outdoor wedding/reception, and not optional. Frequently, we find that
couples often focus on all the fun aspects of their wedding, such as the food, bar, DJ,
décor, and underestimate the importance of keeping their guests protected from the
outdoor elements. When it comes to weather, guests don’t care how beautiful the event
looks or sounds if they are either too hot or too cold. What do we experience when they
are too hot? They are sweaty, grumpy, complain, feel they are suffering, and distracted
from being able to enjoy everything you have arranged for them. What do we experience
when they are too cold? Again they feel miserable and many leave either right before, or
just following the cake cutting.
The solution. On a day when it is bright and sunny, guests are kept comfortable with the
shade canopy in the ceremony area. On a cool evening, guests are kept comfortable with
heaters in the reception area. The Shade Canopy is commonly needed between mid-June
through September. In general, heaters are necessary April through mid-July, and
September through October. Please take these important needs into consideration as you
plan your outdoor event.
Shade Canopy for the ceremony area - $700
Heaters for the reception area - $85 per every 20 guests
