Essentials for an Outdoor Space
Before you go on and secure that reservation, ensure your rental space has the amenities that will help enhance your outdoor party.
Ensure comfortable seating. Unless you're going for a cocktail party, your guests could use comfortable chairs or benches to sit on when taking breaks from dancing. Seats are essential if you're hosting a sit-down dinner; how else do you imagine guests eating their three-course meal?
Look for stand-out lighting. Daytime outdoor celebrations have all the natural light you need. But when the sun sets, your outdoor patio, park, or back garden should be well-illuminated. You may need power outlets to hang string lights or other ambient lighting. Discuss lighting with the venue if you're planning on partying all night long.
Determine sound equipment requirements. Music is the number one essential of a party. Most open-air event venues on Giggster have all the necessary equipment to bring a band or play your own music.
Pros and Cons of Events at Outdoor Locations
There are many benefits to bringing a party outside. But like any event location, you'll come across some drawbacks that may negatively affect your experience.
Pros
-
Celebrating an event in the open allows you to immerse yourself in nature. The fresh air and the stunning views do wonders for your well-being. Imagine kids roaming freely in nature while parents soak in the sun. It's a common sight in parks and gardens nowadays.
-
The atmosphere of an outdoor location is like nowhere else. Whether it's a rooftop patio, a lakehouse, or a lush park and gardens, you are in for a real treat.
-
Space is one of the biggest advantages of hosting an outdoor get-together. Use the extra square footage to your advantage and customize the layout for a seamless event flow.
Cons
-
Getting married outside? There's nothing worse than rain on your wedding day, especially if you are celebrating outside. Be prepared with a backup plan or have tents set up before the start of the reception.
-
Unless you're hosting in the open area of a restaurant or a bar, many things can go wrong with outdoor events. You can't control nature, so be prepared for uninvited guests like wildlife, insects, or nosy passers-by.
-
Safety is crucial, but when it comes to outdoor areas, you have little or no control over who may invite themselves to your event. There is also the possibility of hazards like fallen trees, slippery or uneven terrain, and bulging rocks.
Planning Your Outdoor Event
Covering every detail of an open-air event can be time-consuming and frustrating. We've prepared several useful tips to ensure that hosting events in the open goes as smoothly as possible.
Make a Guest List – Yes, even outdoor locations require an accurate guest count, mainly for catering purposes and the number of chairs. Create a guest list and send invitations in advance.
Select a Theme – Themes add to the excitement, especially if you ask guests to dress up to match the theme. A movie night, summer camp, barbecue, glamping, or high tea garden party are all excellent ideas for alfresco celebrations.
Manage Catering – Food safety is even more important when catering outdoors. Take steps to prevent pests and prepare for bad weather.
Have a Backup Plan – Outdoor gatherings are fabulous until the weather changes. In this case, it's best to be prepared in advance. Large tents, pergolas, or a backup indoor location are several great ideas.
Saving Money on Outdoor Events
Celebrating an event in a public space like a park could help reduce some of the rental costs, but you could end up overpaying for other things, like extra food safety measures or renting equipment or chairs and tables. Use these money-saving tips to maximize your budget.
Choose off-peak dates.
The more flexible you are with dates, the bigger the chance of landing deals and specials. Most vendor rates and venue rental fees tend to be lower on weekdays. On Giggster, outdoor venues start at just $22 USD/hour.
Get busy cooking.
What better way to cut food costs than to cook it yourself? Barbecue, finger sandwiches, light bites, and pizza are not only affordable options, but they are easy to make, too.
Go light on decorations.
Nature doesn't need much beautifying anyway, but if you want to personalize your baby shower or wedding, there are many ways to incorporate natural and inexpensive elements into the decor. Think greenery, fresh flowers from your garden, balloon garlands, and handmade banners.
