Entertainment and Activities:
Organise activities and entertainment that suit the festival atmosphere, like live bands, DJs, lawn games, and fire pits. Have a schedule of events to keep guests engaged throughout the weekend
Transportation and Parking:
Arrange transportation options for guests, especially if the farm is in a remote location. Ensure there’s ample parking if guests are driving
Amenities
Ensure there are clean and sufficient toilet and if budget and the length of your wedding requires it, shower facilities, especially if the farm doesn’t have permanent toilets built.
Keep It Green
Implement eco-friendly practices like recycling, leave no trace, and minimising single-use plastics to align with the farm’s natural environment
Safety Measures:
Prioritise the safety of your guests with proper lighting, signage, and security personnel if needed
Communication:
Keep guests informed about the farm’s terrain and any special requirements, such as appropriate footwear and attire for a farm setting.
Delegate Tasks:
Enlist the help of family and friends to handle various responsibilities, so you can enjoy the wedding weekend without unnecessary stress. Give your bridesmaids and groomsmen a task each to take the load off – it’s SO important not to get overwhelmed
Trial Run:
If you’re not familiar with the farm venue or area you’re using for your wedding, visit the area several times before the wedding to plan the layout, test out logistics, and ensure everything is as you envisioned. Can all your suppliers gain good access? Do you need to think about power supply? Do the caterers have access to water?
