diy house wedding

First and foremost, make sure your rental will allow this. The last I read Airbnb is not allowing any events and the number of guests on a property is closely regulated; they are basically doing their best to prevent guests from hosting weddings and other events during the pandemic. If you can find a non-affiliated rental you might have more luck, but even then make sure you are up front with the owner/agent and read all the policies thoroughly. Good luck!

Hi Katie! I think it depends on your event, how much decor you'll have, and how much time and help you'll have to set-up and take things down!

If you're sticking with simple decor and casually served food, I think you could totally do this on your own or with the help of a few friends / family members. But a wedding planner is always a huge help in running the day and figuring out plan b! And you'll definitely need help with take-down & clean-up!
