Envision your guests seated at long, elegant tables under a canopy of ambient lighting, the area bathed in a soft, inviting glow. The tables are a buzz with lively conversation, laughter mingling with the clinking of glasses, as delicious wine and sumptuous food flow generously.
As the evening unfolds, twinkling fairy lights criss-cross overhead, casting a romantic glow while you and your loved ones dance under the gentle light of the moon. The air is filled with the soft murmur of nature blended perfectly with bursts of laughter and the sweet sounds of your chosen soundtrack. It’s not just an event; it’s an experience that stays with you!
Now, imagine making your open air wedding even more enchanting by adding a touch of glamping for your guests. They won’t just attend your wedding; they’ll revel in the full experience, staying in chic tents outfitted with all the comforts of a hotel room. And why not sprinkle in some cozy lounging areas throughout the venue? Picture plush seating, twinkling lights, and maybe even a fire pit to gather around as the evening cools down. These little nooks are perfect for guests to catch up and enjoy the scenery.

Let’s talk logistics—because even the dreamiest open air weddings need a solid plan behind them. Here are some essentials to keep in mind:
- Permits and Regulations: Make sure you’re all set with the local laws and have all the necessary permits, especially for public or protected spaces.
- Accessibility: Keep everyone in mind; ensure that your venue is accessible to all guests, from grandma to your friend on crutches.
- Power and Lighting: Outdoor settings often need extra thought on power. Plan your lighting to keep the fairy tale alive even after dark, and make sure all paths are safely lit.
- Decor: Keep decor to a minimum and let nature do the talking; the purse strings will thank you for it!
- Sound Setup: Since sound travels differently outdoors, consider working with a sound engineer to ensure that your music and speeches are crystal clear.
- Weather Contingency: Always have a plan B. At Twilight Event Hire, we’re pros at quick switches to indoor settings or popping up marquees to shield your celebration from the elements.
- Guest Comfort: Depending on the season, think about what will make your guests comfortable. Little touches like offering blankets or fans can make a big difference.
