Beginner October 2021

We don't have a Plan b if it snows on our wedding day.

My fiance and I are getting married on October 23, 2021 in north-central Washington. Unfortunately, our venue can only hold 50 people inside for dinner. We have invited 75 people and planned on getting tents and patio heaters to have dinner outside on the patio area right next to a beautiful lake. Well, I have talked to five different event rental companies and none of them will put up a tent if it is snowing. If I had known this before we would have considered choosing a different date or even a different venue, but it feels too late for that. Essentially, if it is nice outside or even raining, everything will be fine. But, if it is snowing I have no idea where people are going to eat dinner. Has anyone dealt with a similar situation or have any advice? I just feel like we're out of options.

    I would ask your venue what your options are for situations like this.

    If snow is a possibility for that time of year at your venue, I feel like your only option now is to cut your guest list to 50 and fit everyone inside for dinner.

    Hi Lauren! I'd scope out your exact location on forecast sites like accuweather and weatherspark - because in general it looks like chances of snow in Washington in October are pretty slim!

    Is there a spillover area or additional room you can reserve in case you need a last minute back-up plan?
