It also means that guests are guaranteed not to drive home from your reception drunk. This is a win win situation for all.

When having an outdoor wedding, be sure to plan for bugs. Bugs are everywhere outside and could ruin a wedding ceremony. If you are in an area that has a high number of bugs, have citronella candles or bug zappers to prevent the bugs from bothering your guests and ruining your wedding.

When looking for music for your wedding, be sure to research the DJ or band that you are considering using. Be sure to ask for references, and contact those before hiring anyone. Once you make a decision, you want to make sure the date is well known, and that a contract is signed to confirm the agreement. These steps are necessary to ensure that music will not be the cause of a ruined wedding day.

Reserving parks is a great plan for an outdoor wedding, but most cities will not let you close the park off to other visitors.
