Choosing your venue is one of your biggest decisions when planning a wedding–and there are so many options. Do you want an outdoor garden ceremony? Dinner indoors but dancing outside? Do you want the feel of the outdoors without the risk of weather? This is where we come in. At Wedgewood Weddings, we want to be of help to you every step of the way–including choosing your venue.
Tented venues have become a highly popular option over the years because they give you the luxury of choice and personalization. It’s like a blank slate to decorate to your heart’s content while also offering you the best of both indoor and outdoor wedding venue benefits. So, it’s an ideal option for couples who don’t want to go a traditional route to their wedding and want control, custom design, and a hand on the weather–all while incorporating a natural feel of the outdoor ambiance.
If you’re looking for a way to blend the outdoors with the indoors, want a wedding venue that works pretty much anywhere you wish to be married, and have the freedom to curate your own experience without rules, you’re in the right place. A tented wedding might be the way to do all of that and more. From California to New England and everywhere in between, meet our lineup of tented wedding venues–ready to bring your special day vision to life.
