Top 3 Reasons for a Backyard Wedding

In the day and age of Covid restrictions, travel hassles and everything else brides and grooms have to face while planning a wedding, many may consider a backyard wedding as a last resort. But lemme tell you, they can be incredible! Here are 3 reasons a backyard wedding is the way to go!

  1. Intimate Guest list

While we would all love to party down with our freshman year college roommate or a co-worker you used to work with a few jobs back, a smaller guest list will magnify who IS attending your wedding. Those in your inner circle of family and friends will stand out, they’ll interact with YOU more, and you know there is nothing but love they are wishing you and your soul mate.

2. Inexpensive while Extravagant

This one is a bit obvious, your budget can pack quite the punch with a smaller guest list and a backyard venue. You may even have enough in your budget to afford that giant light up “Just Married” sign, to rent a Karaoke machine, or rent the extended table so all your guests can dine together to really make your guests feel they are attending a very special event.

3. Venue Restrictions… Buh-bye!

You are required to use our in-house caterer. No alcohol. Wedding must end by 9:00pm. Venue must be cleaned and cleared out by 10:00pm. Event insurance required. Extra rental fee to decorate early. No confetti allowed. And the list goes on. Now don’t get me wrong, there are great reasons venue’s have their own restrictions but if you’re considering a backyard wedding the added benefit is that you set the rules…if any!
