The terrain matters for events. Lots can slope, which affects tent placement, table leveling and ceremony rows. Backyards are often deeper than in the inner-ring suburbs, so a full tent is realistic, but sloped ground means planning for stable table legs and safe chair placement. Rain runs downhill fast on sloped ground, so storm planning means more than an umbrella: it includes where water will pool and where tables can stay dry.
Ask about leveling and stable chair feet. Choose flat spots for tables when possible.
