One of the popular wedding trends for 2011 is to have a backyard barbeque type reception.  Brides are opting for a casual affair rather than the formal sit down dinner.  Not only is it more cost efficient, but it also allows for a cozy environment.

Relaxed Fun on the Beach!

Having an Outer Banks wedding is ideal for this type of reception!  A barbeque at the beach, with a few modifications, will delight everyone.  Many hotels have beach space available where you can place a few large tents within view of the ocean.  If you look at our Outer Banks Wedding Professionals , you will see there are several Outer Banks wedding rentals companies who can supply and place these tents, as well as almost anything else you may need for the reception.  These vendors know the area and the local weather.  They know how to put the tents up in our terrain.

A Variety of Options

If you want, you could hold the reception indoors and have a tent outside.  This will give your guests the opportunity to go between the two areas.  You can have the buffet in one area and dancing in the other.  Combining both indoor and outdoor activities will give your guests plenty to do!

Just think how much fun it would be to put together a beach barbeque reception!  You could be creative with your menu by incorporating some traditional barbeque dishes and your decorations could reflect a picnic style setting under the tent.  Our Outer Banks Wedding Professionals can help you put together the perfect beach wedding, no matter what you have in mind.
