Outdoor Events in the unpredictable Saskatchewan Prairies!


Imagine with me….. a bright blue sky, glowing golden sun, light breeze, temps at an even +25, no wind  not a mosquito in sight. Ah… A typical outdoor event in Saskatchewan.
Isn't that how we picture all of our outdoor events? Reality tells us that on any given day, our outdoor event can be a seamless event or a day riddled with stressful situations.  Through first hand experience our team at RSVP has had the pleasure of being part of many outdoor events!    In planning an outdoor event there are many different “elements” to consider. Weather, permits, location, food logistics are just a few…and did I mention WEATHER!
When planning outdoor events you must always have a plan B! With Saskatchewan weather being so unpredictable your beautiful outdoor wedding or backyard party can become a muddy mess very soon!
Tents and shelters are good things! Make sure that you have a tent or shelter booked as a backup! This is will allow you to sleep at night! Park permits, noise bylaws, tent markings, food safe permits are something that might not be on your radar. By hiring an event planner, we will see that all the proper steps are taking so that your event will come off without a hitch!

So...after reading all that, do you still want to hold your event outdoors? We hope so! With preplanning, a contingency plan and a great Team at RSVP Event Design to assist you in all of  planning and executing of your next outdoor event. It is bound to be a great success!
