Outdoor weddings rise in popularity

Tented weddings are trending, according to area event experts, but there’s a caveat — these affairs require careful planning.
"You want a tent that makes you feel like you’re outdoors in something beautiful," said Steve Clarke of Sperry Tents Hamptons. They have some of the industry’s most elegant, made of sailcloth, with varnished amber wood poles and signature pennant flags. On average, a tented affair for 100 to 150 guests runs $8,500 to $16,000, he said, in tent widths from 24 to 66 feet and up to 146 feet long. Lighting factors into pricing, too. There are affordable bistro lights, Japanese lanterns, and string lights, or "next level" wrought iron and crystal chandeliers, said Clarke.More Related News
