Is a Tent Wedding Right for You? Pros, Cons & How HollyDay Farms Makes It Magical

Outdoor weddings have a certain magic — the sunlight, the breeze, the open sky. Add a tent, and you get the best of both worlds: nature and structure. But tent weddings do come with unique considerations. If you're deciding whether a tented celebration is right for your big day, here’s a balanced look at the pros and cons — plus how HollyDay Farms solves each one to help you stress less and celebrate more.

✅ PROS OF A TENT WEDDING

1. Breathtaking Scenery You’re surrounded by nature — trees, water, sunset skies — and your guests aren’t stuck indoors.

2. Personalization Power A tent is a blank canvas. You can dress it up with bistro lights, floral installations, and custom layouts.

3. Fresh Air & Room to Roam Your guests won’t feel cramped. Outdoor weddings feel more spacious, and everyone loves an open-air vibe.

4. Natural Light for Stunning Photos Your photographer will thank you — soft daylight beats fluorescent bulbs every time.

5. Unique and Memorable Tented weddings feel more intentional and one-of-a-kind than traditional banquet halls or barns.

💡 At HollyDay Farms: We include professional-grade tents, and offer tent walls, fans, or heating units as optional add-ons. You’ll be covered — literally — in any season.

2. Setup Can Be Time-Consuming Tents, tables, lighting, décor — it all needs to come together before your big moment.

💡 At HollyDay Farms: With our Full Wedding Package, we handle coordination with trusted rental vendors, set up essentials (tent, dance floor, lighting, fire pit), and include event staff to help things run smoothly.
