Planning the perfect summer wedding
By Cheeky Chilli
As award-winning wedding caterers in the North West, there are few things we enjoy more than an outdoor summer wedding. Seeing so many beautiful newlyweds in their dresses and suits against the glorious summer sun; watching friends and family toasting the happy couples’ future beneath a pristine marquee – there’s nothing quite like it.
We’ve already got plenty of outdoor summer weddings in our diary for 2022, but if you’re planning your own big day for 2023, there’s no time to waste. In this article, we’re going to take a look at the five essentials you need for a fantastic summer wedding…
The right venue
The venue is an important part of any wedding, but especially for a summer event. Finding a venue with large, open grounds to pitch a marquee is absolutely essential. Why subject your guests to the stifling heat of an indoor, sit-down meal, when they can enjoy the day in the beautiful sunshine, with a pleasant summer breeze playing over them? We partner with many venues across the North West that can accommodate an outdoor wedding. Visit our Venues page for more details.
The right marquee
There’s more to a marquee wedding than pitching a tent and hoping for the best. You want your guests to feel as comfortable as if they were in a more formal environment. We work with recommended suppliers who can help you find the right marquee for any size of wedding. They are robust enough to handle whatever weather conditions come your way, with ample room for tables, chairs, lighting, heating, decorations, a sound system, and more. Really, anything you could reasonably need on your wedding day. Let us provide you with the name and number of a marquee supplier that shares our commitment to quality and customer service.
The right wedding caterers
Not all wedding caterers are set-up for outdoor dining. Fortunately for anybody getting married in the North West region, Cheeky Chilli Events are experts in the field (no pun intended!). We bring all the food and equipment we need to cook delicious, sumptuous meals outdoors. Every dish is cooked fresh for your guests’ enjoyment. If you want to mix things up, we can provide street food options, or a pop-up food stall. Call today to discuss the options available to you.
The right bar service
If you’re having your wedding reception at an outdoor venue, you can’t be sure they’ll have a bar service to accommodate your guests. If that’s the case, then there’s no need to worry. Here at Cheeky Chilli Events, we offer a complete drinks package to all our clients, including trained and experienced bar staff to serve them. We supply the drinks (including custom cocktails for your big day!), as well as all the glassware and utensils.
An all-night affair
One of the great highlights of an outdoor summer wedding is the evening reception. As the sun starts to set, there’s no reason not to stay outside, eating, drinking, and dancing into the small hours. Modern marquees can be equipped with lighting and heating to keep your guests comfortable and you can even hire standalone infrared heaters and lighting poles to cover those parts of the venue outside your marquee area.
