Return of the Backyard Wedding: Part 2

Return of the backyard wedding: Part 2! Did you see our Part 1? If you missed it, here it is!

As we all know, backyard weddings are coming back in full swing so here are three more tips to consider when planning your backyard wedding!

1. Get properly staffed.

At a venue you will have a property manager, catering staff, service staff and general cleaning staff. Adding to that is the event professionals that you hire to complete the day. So we always recommend that you keep this in mind when staffing and hiring your backyard event. An event planner will help you tie loose ends together and direct the entire event as well as run rehearsal for you and create a timeline for all vendors. This is a huge help when it comes to making your event flow perfectly and allowing you to enjoy it instead of have you or your family step in as one of those roles.

2. Where will they go?

Did you know that a lot of homes are not made for that many guests to use the bathrooms? Typically we recommend you rent porta potties. But, nowadays there are elevated bathroom trailers that look and operate just light regular bathrooms. This option offers up a better experience to your guests.

3. Get home safely.

In our experience, backyard weddings tend to be no where near a hotel. This tends to result in people driving after a few too many, a risk for you. Consider hiring a shuttle bus to take people to their hotel room block you have arranged. This way your night can end as great as it started.
