Hey Everybody!
So I'm at the beginning of wedding planning and I think I might have found my venue. It is an outdoor Malibu vineyard setting with the ceremony and reception in the same space. The only thing that is a concern to me is that all of my guests will have to pass through my reception space to get down to the ceremony and cocktail hour. I really wanted the "reveal" aspect of my reception space and I don't want the chance of vendors setting up my reception area up while guests arrive. I was hoping you guys had some ideas on how to temporary cover it up that would allow guests to pass through until reception time. I was thinking of a temporary pipe and drape but I can't find an answer to if pipe and drape can be taken down within a short time frame. I wouldn't want the pipe and drape to stay up for the reception. At this moment my budget is pretty flexible and will consider all options. I attached some photos for reference. The large area up top is the reception space and the cobblestone road leads to the ceremony. Am I overthinking this!?
