Outdoor Wedding must haves

PaintedAmour, on May 11, 2018 at 10:05 AM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 6
Hi all! I’m having a outdoor wedding at a pavilion/grove - in the woods of northeastern Pennsylvania. The location is owned by a local restaurant/catering company.

- Little back story. The business closed in January ( family retired) and now they are renting out the pavilion/grounds only for select events in 2018. It has restrooms/ tables/ chairs/ seat covers. It has a kitchen with all the amenities the catering company would need to use if needed. They have a grounds keeper to make sure the place looks nice for summer activities. There is running water. There is electricity out there.
Here is my question(s)
what are some things I should ask the owners that I will need to do on my own- or what they will take care of ? Like I’m assuming they will have soap and toilet paper in the bathrooms .... but there is bugs and spider webs( it’s an outhouse / park style bathroom) .. should i them if I should clean it or should I plan on going up and doing a day of cleaning?
What are some things I should buy on mine own specifically for a outdoor wedding in august ?
I was thinking of making a cute basket of bug sprays/ baby wipes and sunscreen ? Stuff like that ...


anyone else have a outdoor wedding that was similar ?

    Bug spray was the first thing that came to mind for me. They say ticks are going to be really bad this year, and I imagine it's even more of an issue in a wooded area. And, I'd definitely ask about cleaning the bathrooms and whether they will supply tp, soap, etc.

    I'd also have some cold bottled water available at all times, or check to see if your caterer will provide it.

    I would ask about trash removal & containers.

    Hey there! I would certainly prioritize bug and insect control, along with sheltering options such as pavilions and tents in case guests desire some sort of covering or if rain occurs. As stated, also ensure restroom maintenance is sufficient!

    My ceremony is outside.

    I'm having a basket of wedding bubbles (the bottles look like mini wedding cakes) another basket with hand fans and a third will have bottles of water.

    As the date gets closer, I might purchase a couple dozen umbrellas, if it looks like it might rain.
