Weather can be such a hard thing to work around. Trust us, we've seen all the things nature comes up with here in Idaho! Below you'll find a complete list of all the weather issues, how we can help you & how you can prepare for it yourself!
The Summer Heat
Our summer temperature averages hover around 85, but that doesn't mean it won't go up into the high 90's and even 100's sometimes. This can be a damper if you were hoping for a cooler day or to have your ceremony while the sun was still high in the sky. Here are all of our tips & tricks to beating the heat during the summer!
Use our tents for shade! We already provide two large tents & offer a third for an additional price. When creating your floor-plan, request that all tables be placed underneath a tent.
Try and plan your ceremony for a bit later in the day to avoid the highest temperatures
Don't be afraid to step inside for a moment to cool off
Bring plenty of cold drinks...and ice!
Rent some fans with misters
Provide hand-held fans for your guests
Provide umbrellas for your guests
Dip your toes in the lake!
