is something everyone likes to do, so incor- porating the outdoors into an event can be a great way to set the mood. Guests can enjoy the fresh air while they celebrate."


"Instead of looking out from an echoing, stuffy banquet hall," she adds, "they will feel the cool breeze ruffling the trees, and can relax and concentrate on the reason they came - to celebrate! Even in colder months, outdoor events are an excuse to enjoy weather that some people might not usually take advantage of, as long as they are advised to dress appropriately.”


Rob Carachilo adds that breaking from the normof an indoor event can lead to lasting positive impressions for event attendees.


Vicki Pohl agrees, adding,“The benefits are that they offer unique experiences that an indoor space simply can't, like natural beauty, opportunity for larger crowds in many cases, and spontaneous challenges associated when working outside of a con- trolled environment. Some people might cringe at that last one, but I think it makes for a fun and memorable event.”


Uniqueness and flexibility are attractive incentives to outdoor functions, notes Joe Capone,who states that “outdoor sites can be out-of-the-ordinary and new for a group. The location can give you visually stunning surroundings that will allow for less deco- ration of tables or in the tent. The environment itself can become the focal point and the décor.”


Capone continues, “Interiors often have height restric- tions, size restriction, etc.,


but outdoors - the sky is


literally the limit.”
