Outdoor Wedding Planning – East Texas & The Golden Triangle

Whether you’re thinking of holding your event at a neighborhood park, at a favorite garden, or on the shoreline of a local lake, there are some important things to keep in mind so your day is perfect no matter what.
The Brown Estate in Orange and The Clifton Event Complex in Beaumont both offer a dramatic setting for Southeast Texas outdoor weddings.

Many couples choose outdoor weddings and receptions because the event can be highly customizable. Additionally, the venue provides the opportunity to save money because you can rent everything you need. Southeast Texas weddding venues like The Brown Estate and The Clifton Event Complex are able to help you choose the right rentals to plan your outdoor wedding without a lot of stress.
1. Tents protect from all types of weather.
Making sure you and your guests are comfortable is very important, and renting tents is the easy way to add comfort and protection to your outdoor wedding space. During hot summer months, tents protect from the harsh sun. If Mother Nature decides to be testy, tents can protect from rain and minor wind issues.
From simple open-air tents to options with flooring, fans or air conditioning, you will find the right one for your dream wedding.
Both have a wide variety of SETX wedding rentals in stock and a great network of Texas wedding vendors they can reach out to for specialty items.

2. Customize with the ideal Southeast Texas wedding decorations
A tent provides a blank canvas, and from there you can create the atmosphere you desire. First decide on your vision. Are you thinking a casual outdoor event, or something more formal? How about a color scheme or a theme you’d like to follow?
Next, prioritize the most important elements. For example, if you want a formal, ocean-themed wedding, you might want to rent chandeliers for inside the tents, along with a fountain for the centerpiece and blue linens and sashes for the tables and chairs. Almost anything you can imagine can be rented, saving you time and money.

3. Decide on the right Southeast Texas wedding caterer.
Serving food and drinks in an outdoor environment takes a bit of extra planning. Be sure to interview caterers who have experience working outdoors with tented events and are familiar with the area where you’ll be getting married.
An experienced Southeast Texas wedding caterer can help ensure that cold foods stay cold and hot ones st
ay warm so that guests have an enjoyable meal. If you’re planning to provide the food yourself, make sure to rent the appropriate equipment to keep food temperatures safe. To make food prep easier, consider renting a portable kitchen if the facility doesn’t have an option for you to use.
4. Plan for a seamless SETX outdoor wedding experience.
Unless you’re planning a backyard wedding, most of your guests will not be familiar with the event space. Clearly mark any areas where guests might get confused or lost. For example, use signs to tell guests where the tents are located and provide luminaries and strings of lights on pathways to the bathrooms or parking facilities.
Being able to hear well can also be an issue outdoors. Rent speakers for the ceremony and be sure to have the proper music equipment for the reception. Remember, most public outdoor spaces have noise ordinances, so check with the city to see about any restrictions or permits you may need.
Planning an outdoor wedding can be easy and affordable with a little planning.
