    Episode 37: Tent Weddings with Christina Millhollin, Best Party Rentals

    Meet Christina Millhollin, with Best Party and Event Rentals, half of the amazing duo of the family-owned business.  Thank you, Christina, for sharing with us on this episode your expertise of tent weddings and all of the beautiful magic they provide, and most importantly the number of details needed to understand when planning a tent wedding.

    Let's sit back, relax, and let's dive into everything you need to know to plan the perfect tent wedding, you are not alone when it comes to your planning!

    Welcome to our podcast on Tent Weddings! If you're getting married in the great outdoors, a tent wedding is the perfect way to celebrate your big day. Not only does it allow you to fully embrace the beauty of nature, but it also provides a unique and customizable space for you and your guests to enjoy. From elegant drapery to rustic lighting, there's no limit to the possibilities when it comes to tent weddings. 

    A tent wedding can be a beautiful and unique experience, but it is important to consider all the factors before making a decision. With proper planning and preparation, your tent wedding can be a memorable and magical event.

    Choosing to have a tent wedding can be a unique and memorable experience, but there are some important factors to consider before making the decision. Firstly, it is important to choose a suitable location for the tent that can accommodate all your guests comfortably. You may need to rent a large enough space or clear an area on your property to host the wedding.

    Secondly, you should consider the weather conditions in the area you plan to hold the wedding. Tents can provide shelter from rain or sun, but they can also be affected by strong winds. It is important to have a backup plan in case of extreme weather conditions.

    Thirdly, you will need to consider the cost of renting a tent, as well as other equipment such as lighting, furniture, and heating or cooling systems. These costs can add up quickly, so it is important to budget accordingly.

    Finally, you may need to obtain permits or permissions from local authorities in order to host a tent wedding. This can vary depending on the location and size of your event, so it is important to research the requirements beforehand.

    This your day and a tent wedding can be a magical experience for you and your guests, possibilities are endless. If you are planning a tent wedding, this podcast is for you.
