Tips and tricks on combating the environmental elements with events

  • Have a Plan B location shares James with EMI Audio, options/plan B for rain, cold and snow for outdoors; during hot weather, bring a bag/kit packed with extra clothes, shoes, water, anything that might be needed to be prepared for the elements. Make up artists typically bring towels, battery operated fans, ect to help their bridal party.
  • Have a Weather App on phone – recommends Kirk with Round Barn Farm, a free weather app – Storm Radar, The Weather Channel
  • What to do when weather sirens go off and you’re in a pavilion with no sides, Michael with Hope Glen Farm shares , well, get on your knees and pray.
  • Have an Act of God Clause in your contract shares MaryEllen with Reishen Law.
  • Be a calming presence, give assurance to clients that they don’t need to worry at the event, your vendors will know what to do, shares Olivia with A’Britian Catering.
  • Remind clients of the strengths of the vendors in their event; photographers don’t need a sunny day to take pictures, they actually get great shots on cloudy days. What seems like a disaster, can actually turn into a great memory shares Lori with R+F Rock Your Dermis.
  • Climate control vendors are an excellent resource to turn to, such as air conditioning, et. shares Tom with Onsite Companies.
  • Wedding Rain Insurance is available prior to event for clients to insure for damage rain may bring to an event bringing peace of mind, shares Ari with Complete Weddings + Events.
