However, choosing a suitable venue is more than a strict aesthetic. In an area as varied as southeast England, you can be sure more than one setting meets your style. Ultimately your perfect venue will come down to personal preference and your creative flair. Those who crave a vintage outdoor wedding may desire a vibrant garden or gorgeous wooden features. If bohemian or festival-style is more your scene, then a wide-open space is just the thing to build a venue from scratch. This region is teeming with dedicated tipi and marquee suppliers.
Wedding Packages
The clearest way to narrow down your outdoor wedding options—outside of location—is easily the venue packages. Checking whether your chosen setting offers full service is an excellent way of streamlining your budget. Think catering, bar service, staffing, and décor. Many venues can even provide a marquee, and a helpful backup option for your ceremony should the weather take a turn. If catering isn't covered, it's worth checking the venue's policy for outside caterers and the facilities they can provide. Across the breadth of South East England is a host of wedding caterers cover all manners of cuisine. Maybe a Hog BBQ is the perfect accompaniment to your wedding theme, or perhaps only a pizza trailer will do. In any case, double-check with your possible venue of the options available to you.
