Top 10 Reasons to Have an Outdoor Wedding

Have the Ceremony at the same site

Guests will have a more relaxed comfortable feeling at this type event

The sun, flowers, trees, warm summer breezes, need I say any more?

Have it all your way, you have the freedom to have exactly what you want from a grilled picnic menu to a formal seated dinner with the decorations to match. You don't have to conform to what is already there i.e.(a standard menu, 4 painted walls, chandelier's, and a dance floor)

Children friendly event, kids can be free to play and still be in your view

The tent is set-up in advance so you have time to decorate, have a rehearsal dinner party, or even stay-up all night the day of the wedding in the tent with close friends at the end of it all.

Finally have a reason to finish all the yard projects.

Have total privacy, you will not be sharing a building with another wedding party.

What happens at the reception stays at the recepetion.

Mayor Lightfoot promotes having neighborhood events.

Procedure for Tent Weddings

Step 1
is to look at Equipment opitons via our website or printed material. You should also check out the package/option chart below to know what your budget will allow. Look at your Caterers menu selection

Step 2
narrow down or decide on the food service format you would like to have
(Buffet, Cocktail/Hors-d style, Grilled Picnic, Family Style, or a Plated Dinner)

Step 3
look at our Liquor/Beverage Packages and consider if you would like to provide the Bar requirements.

Step 4
set-up a meeting with us to meet you at the site so we can take Pic's, check utlities, take measurements, view the terrain, and of course pick your brain so we can take your dream and turn it into reality.

Step 5
back at our office we create a proposal that shows the itemized price for each selection as well as the estimate total cost of the event. We also create a CAD design showing the location of any buildings, landscaping, rental equipment, and the areas for activities. The CAD design also can produce a 3D line art drawing, and a virtual reality movie of the event allowing you to see the event while still in the planning stages. We even list alternate plans and their costs if weather becomes a factor.

Step 6
take your time and digest all the information. If you like we can explain what all spec's mean and then answer any questions.

Step 7
if needed we make further adjustments to the order after your review.

Step 8
request a food tasting from your Caterer to confirm your menu choices.
You just love the proposed plan with all the options and give us a 30% deposit to hold the date.

Step 9
we all wait until you get your RSVP's back, then 5-7 days before the big day we tweak the order again to match your final guest count and add possible changes that are weather based decisions.

Step 10
rest up for the big day!

The Myths of the Outdoor Weddings

You will save a lot of money by having an outdoor wedding
If you want to have a Family Style or an Individual Plated style dinner this is not true. If we/anybody has to bring the banquet hall to you meaning "The Guest Tent, Kitchen, Heavy Duty Electric, flooring, and other Special Equipment" to a location the cost can equal or exceed a local standard banquet hall.
But you can save a lot of money by providing some of the neccessary requirements yourself as well as selecting a Buffet format dinner with disposable style of tableware.(SEE EXAMPLES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE

The weather can ruin the party
with the proper Heating, Fans, Air Conditioning, and many siding options available you can deal with about 95% of what mother nature can throw your way.

A tent is all closed with side walls around it
actually it is the opposite the tents have no side walls unless they are used in specific areas as a backdrop to a head table for example or to conceal an area from where the guests will be.

Rain will ruin the event
Well it will put a damper on the day no pun intended, but the addition of a floor in the entire tent will prevent a damp chill, soggy shoes, sinking tables, and chairs. So while it will be an added expense it will fix the ground issue under the tented area on a rain flled week.

Tent Wedding Packages
We have created the chart below to give you a ball park idea of what the total cost per person can be for this type of event, as you will see there are endless combinations. Our staff will lead you in the right direction and ask all the necessary questions to make a package just for you. We will listen to any input or special concerens you might have. No two events are the same. The event location, weather conditions, and customer choices will control the cost of the party. In general a lower guest count(50-100)will be a higher price per person cost than a 100+ size event

Mario's has 30 years of experience doing these type of events. We have developed and custom manufactured alot of the equipment that we own. This is what we specialize in and we consider this type event a signature production of our company.
