Summer Weddings and Open Air Parties

There’s something magical about summer celebrations under the open air, whether it’s a romantic wedding or an elegant evening dinner. But warm-weather events come with their own set of challenges and opportunities.

Luckily, we have a handful of top tips to help.

Here’s How to Make Sure Your Summer Celebration is Unforgettable

  • Choose the Right Time of Day – In summer, heat and sunlight can make or break an outdoor event. For maximum comfort, consider a late afternoon or early evening ceremony. If you’re planning a party, start just before sunset to capture golden hour beauty and cooler temps.

  • Have a Weather Backup Plan – Even in summer, weather can be unpredictable. Always have a backup plan, like hiring a gazebo or choosing a venue with indoor access in case it rains. Stay updated on the forecast and inform guests of any changes.

  • Keep Guests Cool and Comfortable Heat can lead to discomfort or even health concerns. Plan for shaded seating, cooling stations, hand fans and water bottles. If guests are comfortable, they’ll be happy.

  • Plan the Menu for the Heat Some foods don’t fare well in warm weather. Choose lighter, seasonal dishes like grilled veggies, fresh salads and seafood. Avoid desserts that could melt and time food service to keep perishables safe and fresh.

  • Make Sure There’s Ample Lighting As the sun goes down, you’ll need strategic lighting to keep the event going. Use LED string lights, uplighting and pathway markers, and ensure the dance floor, food stations and bathrooms are well lit. Lighting sets the mood and keeps things functional.
