Backyard Wedding?

TATAJANA, on June 9, 2019 at 1:37 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 6
Anyone thought about having a backyard wedding? I keep looking at Venues that are Farm house or Farm style. We just bought a farm house in December and I am wondering if it would just make more sense to set up the reception here which is only 2 miles away from my elopment/Ceremony site. I think the biggest thing is if it rains. I am having only 75 people but still that's a lot in my house.

    If you don't have space to host people inside in case of rain, I wouldn't even consider a backyard wedding an option. They can also be super expensive, more so than venues, because you have to start from scratch and provide everything from tables and chairs to portable bathrooms.

    I think the only reason I have thought about it is because we do have outside bathrooms already on the property. I am secretly hoping my fiancee guest list drops some more then it would be fine as we know 50 people fit in the house from a house warming party we had. Thanks for the thought though! I will keep looking at venues or maybe talk about spending the money on something else and doing a 100% elopement

    If you have the space to set up a tent, then a backyard wedding could work!

    I do have tent space. However those prices always seem too high. I think I will have to do a venue. It's just been had as walking for both our families is extremely difficult. Maybe I will rethink the venue type and see if their is a more disable friendly venues around me.

    We thought about having our wedding on my family ranch but decided against it. The cost for tent, tables, chairs, trailer restrooms, speakers, generators, having the area sprayed for bugs, etc. was way too much to deal with.
