by THE ATRIUM AT SUNNY ATLANTIC LONG ISLAND’S PREMIER WATERFRONT CATERING VENUE.

Do you and your partner wish to take your nuptials outside because of nature's scenic background? Or do you believe exchanging your vows in the presence of nature is the best way to get married? If yes, you should know you are not alone. Getting married outside in nature is one of the most beautiful experiences. However, there are a few factors that you must take into account when planning an outdoor wedding.

To help you, we have put together a list of things you must know before planning your outdoor wedding. These pointers should help ensure your wedding ceremony is a success and that all your guests enjoy your celebration.

Finding An Ideal Venue Is Essential.

So you and your significant other have decided to host an outdoor wedding, but you are still determining what kind of outdoor wedding venue in Long Island, you should book. We suggest you explore all options near you. Look at all the rooftop venues, beach venues, winery venues, or farm venues to find an ideal fit.

When you work with a wedding planner, they can show you photos, reviews, and videos from authentic couples of all the outdoor wedding venues in your area. Moreover, you can further narrow your search based on your guest list size, budget, and amenities.

Work With Photographers To Maximize Your Venue's View.

Speak with your wedding photographer and videographer to ensure you get the most epic views from your wedding venue in Long Island. Work with them to make the most of the natural scenery you have. Ask them if they have any suggestions or ideas regarding lighting or creative first-look shots. While it is optional for you to have drone footage in your wedding video, it will surely help you capture all the natural beauty your venue has to offer from a bird's eye view.

Keeping Your Guests Comfortable

While giving guests information is always helpful, it is always better to go the extra mile and keep them as comfortable as possible. Since your guests will have to be seated for an extended period, you must do everything you can to protect them from any uncomfortable elements outdoors.

Consider providing umbrellas to keep them shaded from sunlight, chilled water or hand-held fans to keep them cool, or shawls or blankets to keep them warm if the temperature outside is chilly.

Use A Microphone During The Ceremony.

Unless you are hosting a wedding with a small guest list, it can be difficult for guests sitting in the back to hear what is being said during an outdoor wedding. It is even more difficult if there are no walls to help with the acoustics and when you add outside noise or wind to the mix. A simple sound system can help you fix this issue in no time.

Ask your venue if they have any on-site sound systems and microphones or local rental recommendations. If you are worried about having a hand-held microphone being intrusive, you can also consider lavaliere mics.

As long as you keep these things in check, you will surely be able to host your dream wedding outdoors and make tons of memories.
