Tents and Outdoor Events

I LOVE planning outdoor events and over the years have seen many changes and improvements on ways to design them in style.

Here, a clear-top tent brings the outdoors in; we recommend this for early spring and fall weddings; it is proven to be a bit warm during the months of May thru August. The white lanterns contribute to the clean aesthetic of this wedding. Different lantern shapes (oblong and round) keeps things interesting.  

Party Lanterns have been around for quite a while, they add a refreshing charming look to your outdoor event whether it is under a tent or under the stars!  I have requests for them quite often; we have done a number of events with them in all white or multi colors.  I find the white paper lantern adds a clean, modern and fun romantic feel all in one!

In many cases during the summer months; you have to consider the elements of the outdoors and perhaps you have considered using a tent.  If you are considering using a tent for your outdoor event; here are some helpful tips and a checklist:
  • Venue
    • Does it allow for tent space?
    • Does it interfere with parking?
  • Rentals
    • Chairs
    • Tables
    • Lounge furniture
  • Lighting
    • String lighting
    • Chandeliers
    • Lanterns
  • Rental Company 
    • Do they have insurance?
    • Will they obtain the proper permits if they are needed?
    • How many days will tent be up for the price?
    • What are the terms of use during specific weather situations?
  • Electrical needs
    • Is a generator needed?
Our love for outdoor weddings is only part of our business scope; we have knowledge of what is needed to make your entire event a success!  We partner with “First Class” vendors to make your event a success and will consider all the above circumstances for you to make your event a breeze.
