Outdoor Michigan Wedding Reception and Ceremony: How to Plan
When planning your outdoor Michigan wedding reception and ceremony you need to give special consideration to back up plans. Yes, plans, meaning in certain situations, more than one alternative may be necessary. Questions to keep in mind as you search for the perfect location are:
1 Are outdoor heaters available in the event of a cold snap?
2 Is there a covered area to protect your guests from light rain or hot summer sun?
3 Can you move inside? Does the facility have an indoor room to accommodate your event?
4 What is the time frame for making the call, and who is the decision maker? (Most facilities will give you a window of a few hours on the day of the event.)
Many outdoor Michigan wedding reception and ceremony facilities are able to provide an appropriate back up location as a feature of their property. For example, the Garden Park in Holly Michigan is popular for an outdoor Michigan wedding reception and ceremony, and when the weather threatens to be a problem, the ceremony can easily be moved to an alternate location.
Some facilities require an alternate backup plan but provide very little shelter. In this case, it would be wise to reserve a portion of your budget to cover the additional expense of renting a tent. You might also consider reserving space at a local civic center in the area where your outdoor Michigan wedding reception and ceremony is being held to ensure that inclement weather will not wash away your wedding day.
