When and How to Tent Your Wedding – and more hints from NM Wedding Expo

Regarding wedding planning in New Mexico, tenting is a great option to make your special day even more memorable.

Tented weddings offer the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors while providing shelter from wind and inclement weather. With careful planning and execution, tented weddings are ideal for hosting a beautiful outdoor ceremony and reception!

But when considering a tented wedding in New Mexico, there are several factors you need to take into account. We listed some of them below for you!

·      Find the Perfect Location!

The first step is finding the perfect location – consider views of the mountains or desert landscape – as well as access to power sources and any permits which may be needed for your event!

Once you’ve found your venue, start shopping around for rental companies that provide tents and other necessities for your wedding. Make sure to book early, as tents can be in high demand on certain days and times of the year.

·      Rent the Best Décor!

In addition to the tent, you’ll want to consider other necessary items such as flooring, furniture, lighting, and décor to make your event feel special.

You may also want to check with your rental company to ensure they provide additional services such as set-up and take-down.

With the right preparation and planning, tented weddings in New Mexico can be a stunning choice for your wedding day. From selecting the perfect venue to choosing all your rentals, you can create an unforgettable event that you and your guests will remember for years!
