Summer has arrived and it’s that perfect time of year for outdoor weddings and events. After the trials and tribulations of the global pandemic in 2020 and the first half of 2021, we are all getting a glimpse of normal life again. For those hosting events, this is particularly exciting as celebrating life occasions with loved ones has never been more important. But while the world is ramping back up and people are mixing in larger groups again, it is still a good idea to be cautious about interactions in large numbers. This is why outdoor weddings and events are a particularly great idea this year! And it’s also why outdoor venues are at a premium as they provide a very safe way for large groups to mix and mingle with all Covid-19 safety measures in place.
We love planning and designing outdoor events but they do require some extra-special know-how to deliver a seamless event from start to finish. And of course, we’re here for you! You might think of the big items - tents, heat lamps, lounge furniture and umbrellas - but you definitely need a professional to fill in all the other items that make an event go off without a hitch. For example: outdoor lighting, generators, catering tents, refrigeration, dance floors - and yes, portable VIP restrooms aka water cottages - just to name a few. Besides the practical, physical items needed, outdoor weddings require extra insurance, a check with local noise ordinances, ample parking… the list goes on. All the event professionals we work with will also be up to date with all the state and local guidance and restrictions on events due to minimizing the spread of Covid19. From day-of testing kits to socially distanced seating, our partners will ensure you and your guests feel comfortable and safe celebrating together.
Outdoor weddings can be as intimate or grand as you like. With all of today’s technologies and a good budget, almost anything is possible. From secluded island getaways to glamping in National Parks or multi-day celebrations in the middle of the desert, celebrating momentous occasions under the sun and stars can be quite the experience.
Now to share a little inspiration with you, we’ve selected images from our archives of outdoor weddings and events that are absolutely gorgeous. These events took place on tropical islands, city rooftops, in wine country, at private estates, and in the middle of the desert. We hope you enjoy browsing some of our favorites from this collection of outdoor weddings and events.
