Over the years we have performed in many outdoor celebrations, and the UK is such a wonderful place to do so. Weddings outdoors are special, and to be able to hold a reception in an outside area, specially surrounded by nature, makes the whole event more enjoyable.

Recently I played at a Bride’s night at the Wilderness Reserve in Suffolk, and it was a lovely evening. Cold for sure, as it was February, but still enjoyable.

Nowadays there is a wide offer of tents for hire so you can organise your special day in a family garden or outdoor space. It’s true that it requires an effort in terms of organisation and logistics, and you have to be ready for all kind of weather, but the effort may be worth if you have the right space for it.

Celebrate good times

Weddings celebrations are joyous events where two people come together to celebrate their love and commitment to each other. Couples often spend months planning their special day, choosing the perfect location, inviting guests, and selecting decorations, food, and music. While many couples opt for traditional indoor venues like churches, hotels, or banquet halls, some adventurous couples choose to celebrate their special day in the great outdoors.

Wilderness reserves offer a unique and breathtaking setting for weddings celebrations. These natural settings provide a peaceful and serene backdrop for couples to exchange their vows and start their new lives together. Wilderness reserves are also ideal for couples who love nature and want to incorporate it into their wedding theme. Imagine saying “I do” under a canopy of towering trees, with the sound of a nearby river or waterfall providing a soothing background soundtrack. The possibilities are endless!

However, hosting a wedding celebration in the wilderness reserve requires careful planning and preparation. Couples need to consider factors like accessibility, guest accommodations, weather conditions, and permits. They may also need to hire a wedding planner or coordinator who specializes in outdoor events to help with the logistics.

Despite the challenges, weddings celebrations in wilderness reserves can be unforgettable experiences that create lasting memories for everyone involved. With nature as the ultimate wedding decorator, couples can create a unique and personalized wedding experience that reflects their love and connection to the natural world.
