Outdoor weddings are so intimate and romantic. I attended my first one after I got married and thought that my husband and I should have had a ceremony like it. A string quartet was playing as the guests were seated in gorgeous white lawn chairs with a beautiful breeze and the outstanding landscape. It was breathtaking!

Although it is true that depending on your religious background, some religions will not marry outside the church of worship, others may be open to fulfilling the bridal couples dreams. You just have to ask.

Even if you can’t have an outdoor ceremony, you can always plan an outdoor cocktail hour or reception which can be just as beautiful.

The Durham Region has an outstanding list of vendors where you could hold an outdoor wedding ceremony or reception. Check them out at Durham Region Wedding Planner.
