Share your yard dimensions and we will suggest tent-friendly layouts.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
Park district pavilions

Lighting here: Park events usually end at dusk; if yours does not, battery lanterns and uplights avoid the need for power.
Banquet halls and churches
Ask what seating is on site and what the load-in schedule is.
Lighting here: Hall lighting is often harsh. Uplights in your colors and dimmed overheads change the room more than any decor.
