Organizing an outdoor wedding always has a magical touch: the natural light, the open spaces and the connection with the environment create a unique atmosphere. However, one of the biggest fears when planning an outdoor wedding is the unpredictable weather – what if it rains?
At Hacienda Torrequemada, that problem disappears. Thanks to its ample covered and uncovered spaces, you can celebrate your wedding outdoors without worrying about bad weather and, best of all, without the need to rent tents that break the aesthetics of the place.
Here are 10 ideas to make your outdoor wedding perfect, no matter what.
1. Take advantage of covered and open spaces without sacrificing style.
At Hacienda Torrequemada you can combine the best of both worlds. Imagine an outdoor ceremony followed by a cocktail reception under the elegant arcaded galleries with semicircular arches. If the weather changes, simply move the banquet to the covered wine cellar or the Main Patio, without losing the original charm.
2. Forget about tents (and save on costs).
Tents can be useful, but they rarely fit in with the aesthetics of a historic space such as Hacienda Torrequemada. Here you don’t need them. With a covered capacity for up to 800 guests, our halls and cellars are prepared to host your event if the weather is bad, saving you that extra cost and preserving the beauty of the surroundings.
3. Covered transition zones to maintain fluidity.
The porticoed galleries allow guests to move comfortably between spaces without getting wet. From the ceremony to the cocktail party, and from the cocktail party to the banquet, everything runs smoothly, even if a few drops fall.
4. Decoration adaptable to the environment
If the ceremony is outdoors but the reception must be moved to an indoor space, plan décor that easily adapts. Versatile centerpieces, portable lighting and floral arrangements that can be moved around will help you maintain the aesthetic in any space.
5. Strategic lighting for any climate
An outdoor wedding is transformed at night with good lighting. Garlands of lights, candles and lanterns create a magical atmosphere. And if it rains, these lights also work perfectly under the covered areas, keeping the atmosphere intimate and cozy.
6. Create special corners under cover
Even if plan A is outdoors, take advantage of the covered spaces to set up cozy nooks and crannies:
- Photocall under the porticoed gallery.
- Chill-out area in the cellar.
- Space for children in a protected area.
These corners add dynamism to the event and remain intact regardless of the weather.
7. Offer practical details to your guests
A stylish and thoughtful touch is to offer clear umbrellas or light blankets if the weather is cool. Not only will they protect your guests, but they will also add to the style of the event.
8. Optimizes sound and music
At Hacienda Torrequemada all spaces are electrically wired and soundproofed, ensuring that the music will sound perfect in any environment, whether outdoors or indoors.
9. Plan a smooth Plan B
The biggest advantage of Hacienda Torrequemada is that plan B is just as beautiful as plan A. You won’t have to improvise. If the weather changes, simply move the celebration to the planned covered spaces, maintaining the fluidity and charm of the wedding.
