Wedding garden preparation - marquees up, seating arranged, decorations hung, pathways created. Your garden transformed into the perfect wedding venue.
### Your Garden, Your Wedding, Done Properly
Garden weddings are magical. **The setup is not.** Marquees, furniture, decorations, ceremony space, reception area - there's a LOT of physical work involved. This is all that work handled professionally so your special day is perfect.
> 💡 **What couples say:** "We wanted a garden wedding without the stress of setting it all up ourselves. Having someone coordinate all the physical work meant we could focus on enjoying our wedding, not worrying about whether the marquee was going up properly."

Good to Know
> 💒 **Experience matters:** I've set up dozens of garden weddings around Exeter and Devon. Know the common issues, how to make gardens work as wedding venues, what works in our unpredictable Devon weather. **Weather contingency** - always have plan B. Garden weddings are beautiful but weather-dependent. I can help plan backup arrangements if needed. **Garden condition** - heavy foot traffic and equipment can damage lawns. I'll advise on protection (marquee flooring, pathway boards) to minimize impact. **Timing flexibility** - some weddings need setup two days before (big marquees take time), others can be done the day before. We'll work out what makes sense for yours. **Supplier coordination** - used to working with all the local wedding suppliers. If you're hiring marquees from Exeter company X or furniture from Devon company Y, I probably know their equipment and specs already. **Access considerations** - some Exeter gardens have access challenges (narrow side passages, sloping terrain, no vehicle access). I'll work out how to make it happen. **Old property gardens** - many beautiful wedding venues around here are older properties with mature gardens. They're gorgeous but often have quirks (slopes, trees, uneven ground). I'm used to making them work. **Multi-day availability** - some larger weddings need several days of work. That's fine - we just need to plan it properly and quote accordingly.
Frequently Asked Questions about Wedding garden preparation in Crediton
What does wedding garden prep include?
Whatever physical setup needs doing - erecting marquees, arranging seating and tables, hanging decorations, creating pathways, setting up the ceremony area, arranging the reception space. Basically all the heavy lifting and setup work to transform your garden into a wedding venue.
How far in advance should I book wedding prep?
As early as possible. Weddings are usually planned months ahead, and summer Saturdays book up fast. Soon as you've set the date and know you'll need setup help, get in touch. Even if plans aren't finalized, we can pencil dates in.
Can you work with wedding suppliers and rental companies?
Absolutely. I regularly work with marquee companies, furniture rental, florists etc. If you've hired equipment, I can handle setting it all up to their specs. Or if you need recommendations for local wedding suppliers, I can point you in the right direction.
What about takedown after the wedding?
Yes - day-after takedown is usually included in wedding setup packages. Last thing you want after the wedding is facing a garden full of equipment to pack down. I'll sort it all while you enjoy being newly married.
Do you provide a quote or charge hourly for weddings?
Weddings get proper quotes because they're bigger projects. Tell me what needs doing, when, and what you're envisioning, and I'll quote the whole job. No surprises, clear pricing, everything agreed upfront.
