Exchanging Vows in Nature: Plan the Perfect Garden Wedding

If you’re dreaming of filling your wedding with natural beauty, romantic vibes, and dances under the stars, you should definitely arrange a garden wedding. Yet, as with any other type of wedding, there’s a lot to consider before making final arrangements, including but not limited to the most typical questions couples have when planning a garden celebration, Breezit’s selection of such venues, other couples’ experiences with such weddings, and professional recommendations.

Common Questions About Garden Wedding Venues

We’ve picked some questions that our users ask most often so that it’d be easier for you to plan your own wedding party:

• "What’s included in the garden venue rental?"
  Generally speaking, garden venues include access to outdoor ceremony spaces, seating, and basic amenities like restrooms. There are also venues that will require additional payments for items such as tents, lighting, or sound systems. Confirm the full list of included services and add-ons before finalizing your search.

• "What happens if the weather changes?"
  It goes without saying that the weather is a crucial element when planning an outdoor wedding. Therefore, you must always ask if your chosen venue provides backup options like tents, covered pavilions, or indoor spaces.

• "Are garden venues available year-round?"
  Most of them are, but some gardens are seasonal and may not be open during the colder rainier months. Check the availability based on your preferred wedding date, and see what the garden will look like during that season.

• "Do garden venues have restrictions?"
  Yes, most of them do. Many gardens have rules about decorations, noise levels, and the times when events should end. In addition, some may prohibit open flames, certain types of lighting, or loud music late in the evening.

• "Are there any hidden fees when booking a garden wedding venue?"
  Our advice here is – always ask about additional costs such as setup fees, overtime charges, or required cleaning deposits. If you find out all the costs upfront, you’ll avoid unexpected surprises later.

• "Can garden venues host both ceremony and reception?"
  Yes, most garden wedding venues are equipped to host both. In fact, they typically offer separate areas for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions.

• "Are garden wedding venues pet-friendly?"
  It depends on the garden. If you plan to invite your furry friends to your ceremony, ask your venue whether they accept pets.

• "What are the rules for photography and videography?"
  Garden venues often have specific rules regarding spots where photo sessions can take place or what areas can be accessed during the event. Clarify these details in advance.

If you address these questions in time, you’ll be able to ensure that your garden wedding venue can meet your expectations and will provide a seamless experience for you and your guests.

Practical Tips for Choosing Your Wedding Venue

No matter what type of venue you choose, keep these essentials in mind:

• Budget: Set a clear budget for the venue, decorations, and vendors as early as possible.

• Seasons: Gardens are most vibrant in spring and summer so expect higher prices and limited availability if that’s when you’re dreaming of exchanging vows.

• Location: Take into account the travel time, parking, and accommodation options when looking for your perfect spot in remote areas.

• Vendor Compatibility: As some garden venues have their preferred vendor lists, make sure that your selected venue supports your chosen caterers, decorators, and photographers.

• Guest Comfort: It goes without saying that you must guarantee a climate-controlled environment, enough restrooms, and plenty of parking if you want to make your guests feel pleasant.
