The date has been scheduled and you are in the process of making plans for your big day. Before you get started rounding up everything that you need for your outdoor wedding, there are more than a few good reasons why you should stop in at an equipment rental store. Even though most people only consider equipment rental for construction-related tasks or DIY home improvement, equipment rental stores usually offer a lot of things that could be quite useful for an outdoor event. Here are a few items that you may want to check out at your local equipment rental store for your own outdoor wedding.

Outdoor Heaters - Depending on the time of year you intend to have your wedding outdoors, the weather undoubtedly will play a major role in the success of the event and the comfort of everyone in attendance. If you even slightly suspect that there will be a chill in the air, outdoor heaters are something you should check out at the equipment rental store. Powered usually by propane or gas, outdoor heaters are designed to radiate enough warmth to keep an area a few degrees warmer.

Event Tents - Keep your guests rightly protected from the sun, wind, and rain in an event tent. The biggest variable with an outdoor wedding will always be the weather and having a tent on hand can really out your mind at ease about facing sudden changes in the weather. Event tents can be rented in a range of sizes, from a room small enough to house the cake and food to something massive enough to house every guest at the wedding, a dance floor, and tables and chairs.

Large Grills - Inject an even more appealing element into an outdoor themed wedding by incorporated outdoor-worthy grilled foods at the reception. Check with an equipment rental store to find a large enough grill that could easily cater to a large crowd, with a wide cooking surface and even burners for an added touch.

Portable Outdoor Fire Pits - Keep the guests at your outdoor event cozy and entertained with an outdoor fire pit that you can rent from your rental equipment store. Portable fire pits are usually designed with caster wheels so they can easily be transported to different areas and make a great feature for an outdoor wedding that takes place after dark or is expected to run into the night.
