Average Cost of a Tented Wedding at a Private Residence

As New York City wedding planners, we’ve planned many tented weddings at private residences, and these are often our favorite types of weddings. A tented wedding involves many logistics that aren’t necessary with your typical venue buyout. This breakdown includes essential elements such as catering, floral arrangements, tent rental, restrooms and trash pick-up, lighting, and full-service event planning. Please note that these estimates do not cover attire, wedding party gifts, additional events (like welcome parties or rehearsal dinners), or travel/accommodation costs.

A Romantic and Intimate Wedding Weekend In Paris, France

As a wedding planner, your own wedding day is truly special. When we envisioned our wedding in Paris, we wanted something intimate, meaningful, and personal. We kept our wedding guest list small, while still being able to include more people we wanted to celebrate with for other weekend events. It was important to us to blend tradition with non-traditional, unique elements, and I am so pleased with how we did that. Our wedding took place on a Monday, which in my opinion, is one of the best days for a destination wedding. This allows your guests to travel over the weekend without taking off any work, and then enjoy the week of vacation if they choose, and finally travel back on the following weekend.
