As a company that specializes in planning outdoor weddings, we were thrilled when a recent client in Milford, CT reached out for our help. From booking the essentials like a tent, dance floor, tables, and chairs, to coordinating with their other vendors, our team worked closely with the couple to bring their backyard wedding vision to life.
Despite not booking a commercial venue, the couple required comprehensive venue design and coordination services. Using the latest software, we drafted a detailed design concept that laid out the setup of tables, chairs, and dance floor under a spacious tent. Initially, we booked them a 30’x60′ frame tent from PartyPlus. However, thanks to our great partnership with the vendor, we were able to negotiate a larger tent at a reduced cost, freeing up more of the client’s budget for other vendors.
Organizing a ‘backyard’ wedding often requires additional logistical support, such as portable restrooms. In this case, we helped the client book Loo Haven for their event and were able to negotiate an upgrade to a three-stall restroom trailer for the same price as a two-stall unit.
After consulting with the client, we presented them with a variety of catering options for their wedding, including plated, stations, buffet-style, and drop catering. To help them make their decision, we reserved a complimentary tasting with one of our preferred catering partners. Ultimately, the couple decided to book local food trucks for their wedding catering.
The set-up for the event was a three-day process, complicated by intense summer heat. On day one, PartyPlus delivered the tables, chairs, tent, and dance floor. The Porchlight team was able to complete the full set-up by day three, which was also the day of the event.
The rest of the event was perfect- and we received compliments about the decorations and the seamless support we provided.
