How to hold a wedding reception in your own garden

Posted by Stefan on Aug 4, 2009

When we get married many of us choose the traditional white wedding in a church, followed by a reception at a Hotel or some other type of formal venue. This can however be quite costly. A friend of mine recently got married at church but decided to hold the reception at home – in the garden.
You may not have lots of room in your garden so this must be an important consideration before you decide to go for this option. However there are lots of things you can do to spruce things up and make the occasion spectacular, even if your garden is not up to show class standard.

The first consideration is the British summer, whilst we look forward to a little sun there is a chance it may rain on your special day. To solve this problem you should first hire a marquee, some companies may even put it up for you. Next a wedding planner can sort all your decoration and flower arrangement ideas. They will dress your garden, can supply all the tables and chairs and decorate all the place settings so it looks brilliant when you get back from the church. Catering companies can provide you with many food and drink options for your day. And as well as providing your menu they also have catering equipment you can hire. The last thing you want to do is to organise the food yourself and rush around before the wedding organising a menu and trying to decorate your home. Lastly, make sure you have enough room for a good party. Hire a DJ and designate somewhere you can dance.

If you organise everything beforehand, you will be surprised how much money you will save and how much fun you can have. Just don’t destroy your garden in the process.
