A backyard wedding gives you the venue for free — the rest is logistics. Here is the order we recommend.

8 weeks out

  • Lock the date with a free 48-hour hold.
  • Confirm guest count and pick the tent size.
  • Decide ceremony and reception locations in the yard.

4 weeks out

  • Choose draping, lighting and centerpieces.
  • Confirm tables, chairs and linens.
  • Book sound for ceremony audio and the first dance.

Week of

  • Mark the tent footprint and check sprinkler lines.
  • Confirm the rain plan: sidewalls and extra lighting.

We install the day before or the morning of, style everything, and remove it the same night so your yard is clear.
