THE TRUTH ABOUT TENT WEDDINGS | Are they REALLY more cost effective than "turn-key" venues?

[@sterlingbrooks5495]

I set up tented weddings nearly every other weekend throughout the year, and this overwhelmed even me. Rest assured, if you call an experienced tent company to have a tented wedding, they are going to take care of 90% of these concerns for you. This is all very helpful information, but brides and grooms, don't let this overwhelm you! Also, I would say that tent flooring is a heavy splurge and definitely not a requirement unless you are in a flood zone or on a hillside. This will cut the cost significantly.

Thanks, the flooring surprised me

[@noelmilleryoga5993]

If you're not going to have tent flooring, would you recommend to alert women who may want to wear heels?

[@sterlingbrooks5495]

​@@noelmilleryoga5993 You could always do a quick walk around the proposed tent site in heels on a dry day and see if the ground is too soft for heels. The ground will stay dry under your tent, so I don't foresee any problems there, and I've never had someone complain about that before . You could also consider a walkway to your tent in case it does rain.

I'm shocked-- this is such a high-quality content video that I didn't think twice when I read your subs as '1.56M'. Like, makes sense. And then I did a double-take and realized it wasn't in the millions?!?!?! Excuse me?! Well done, thank you so much for giving such good input to us!

I am converting my one acre back yard into a venue, adding many of the elements you mentioned in your video, it is alot of expenses and thought to bring it all together but once its built, it will be a great asset... We even purchased 3 smaller 20x30 tents so far and a bunch of tables and chairs and building a beautiful covered stage area ... Thanks for your insights..

LOL this just crushed my dream of having my wedding at my grandmother's farm in Vermont. I totally thought I would save money by having a venue but it actually seems like more money. Both my partner and I will have way too much student debt to do this and I think we would rather spend that $$ on a house or honeymoon. Turn-key venue it is!

[@valeriegernhausertheno-non5314]

I’m glad you watched this video then! Many many many couples think a tented wedding will cost less. Turn key venues make much better financial sense when you are trying to stick to a specific number overall. Best of luck with your wedding planning!

[@mvarela24]

Wow I learned so much with this video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. God Bless

[@valeriegernhausertheno-non5314]

I'm happy you found value in this! Thanks for watching!

[@MolokoDolamo]

Wow this is soooo informative. Hands down the best video on the subject

[@kerryliam5456]

Just half through the video already made me so glad that I booked my venue at the ranch, providing the tent set up and tables and chairs and a wooden floor already set in place.

[@nancyc2643]

So helpful! I'm stuck between deciding on a white or clear tent for my wedding in Puerto Rico where it is very tropical aka sporadic rain

[@SandraManjie]

Great video! What is your thought about a dance floor being outside the tent?

[@candysmith8724]

A tent wedding reception looks beautiful and different, but after hearing her spill, it sounds exhausting and expensive.

[@pollypockets508]

There might also be museums in your area that are very cool. My dream wedding is at a museum, partially because they are interesting and also because the guest would have something to do.

[@Goodygotit79]

Omg ! This just made me cry. My venue canceled and said they wont be having weddings this year so now we had to use the backyard for last minute. We thought it would be cheaper but it seems we thought wrong. I just wanna dye.

[@candysmith8724]

Try securing another venue. The tent situation sounds like an expensive plan B.

[@SD-hs2pk]

If your floor is level and you can use the house electric might still save you, a wedding planner walking through might really help figure that out

[@fantasydecorcreations7857]

Very informative. Thanks for the insight :)

[@valeriegernhausertheno-non5314]

I'm glad you found value in this! Thanks for watching!

[@jillianchaloux6186]

THIS is ALOT Of information I definitely needed to hear .

[@oneilgrant11]

Very true,you could just do it outdoor but if it's rain 🌧, your goose cook

[@melandrell5762]

What payment processing system do you use to process payment from your clients? Do you have an autopay option?

[@justinewhite-hadley3138]

New subbie friend!! You're great!!

[@JessChewMusic]

Came for the advice, stayed because you sound like Zooey Deschanel (but also for the advice lol)

[@valeriegernhausertheno-non5314]

😱 you made my day! I’ve been a huge fan since “Almost Famous” 😎 I’m also happy you found value in this video! Thanks!

[@MICHAELHERRERA01]

Were is your company located and do you guys travel?

[@valeriegernhausertheno-non5314]

My office is based in New Orleans, and we travel all the time!

[@SD-hs2pk]

Generator need to also be really far, they are so noisy!

[@gardenjoy5223]

Turn-key venues never seemed more attractive! You share the costs of that venue with many others before and after you, and still you can totally present your own style.

[@valeriegernhausertheno-non5314]

Exactly!!

[@marthalrodriguez.2209]

I get it a tent wedding is very very expensive
