A Place for Baby

Are you planning a backyard wedding? If so, could your backyard be more ready for its big debut? Whether you do a little or a lot of work to bring the yard up to snuff, one key component to consider is a patio cover. Why? Here are a few great reasons to install one now. 

1. You're Prepared for Anything

Outdoor weddings are always exposed to the elements. You may suffer anything from the heat of the sun to cold winds or even rain and snow. Make your outdoor wedding more weather-proof by installing a reliable cover over it. This will reduce stress and save money. 

2. It Adds Value to the Home

Most of your work to prepare the landscape for a wedding won't last beyond the big day. But some permanent additions to the property will outlive the wedding and add value to your home for many years. A good patio cover is one of these. So if you've thought about investing in one, now is the time to kill two birds with one stone. 

3. It's a Great Focal Point

Give the wedding festivities structure and a centerpiece by using the covered patio as a base. Guests will naturally be drawn to this large, visible, and welcoming structure. It may define how large your guest list is or where you exchange vows. And it can hide unwanted views. 

4. You Can Boost Decoration

How will you decorate the wedding itself? This is a conundrum for many couples planning backyard nuptials. Backyards aren't typically designed for weddings, so they're harder to decorate than many venues. The addition of a patio roof solves many of these decorating dilemmas—from lighting it and hanging decor from the ceiling to determining how people should come and go. 

5. It's One Less Thing to Do

Backyard weddings often involve a lot of DIY work and rentals. Simplify your wedding weekend by taking one item off your to-do list. Rather than finding, renting, setting up, and dismantling a tent, you'll already have protection in place. A good cover can also reduce the need for other accommodations for the weather, making things even easier.  

Where Should You Start?

If your backyard wedding could benefit from a more solid patio cover, start by meeting with a reputable contractor today. With their guidance and your vision, you'll soon find the right roof to put over your wedding and to enjoy for many years to come.
