Outdoor wedding venues are advantageous because they offer a ton of extra space and fresh air. Melbourne also has amazing weather, so it is a prime location for outdoor weddings. The city offers a wide variety of different outdoor venues to choose from such as gardens and even sky bars. One of the biggest factors you have to keep in mind is the number of people you are inviting to make sure that there is enough space for everyone so that you do not overbook the space.
Planning an outdoor wedding is not too different from planning a normal indoor wedding. It is always best to rely upon the experience and assistance of wedding planners and venue staff, who will help make sure the process goes smoothly. Outside of that, you are going to have to keep your budget and guest list closely tracked to ensure you don’t overspend or invite too many people. It is best to send out wedding invitations six to eight weeks in advance to give everyone ample time to respond. When you are looking for a venue for your wedding, look no further than Tagvenue to help you find the wedding venue of your dreams!
Outdoor weddings can be a romantic and magical experience, however, like any wedding they also come hand in hand with some potential problems. When organising a ceremony and reception outdoor there are some aspects you should bear in mind.
First, be ready for the weather, if it is hot, make sure your guests can find shade and stay hydrated. Conversely, if it is wet and rainy, make sure you have an alternative venue in mind. Also,be mindful of any wind - gale force winds and tulle does not make a winning combination.
Finally, when considering catering, make sure you provide enough soft drinks to keep your guests hydrated, and that the food will not turn if it is left outdoors.
