Get a basic structure
Make sure to get the basics. A tent with side panels and a dance floor, a generator for the DJ, lighting, heating or air conditioning. This way you are prepared for any kind of weather (wind or rain). No one wants their centrepieces blowing over, or to get their heels stuck in the ground when their song comes on.

Upgrade the potties!
Ensure that you rent the upgraded washrooms for the guests. Port-a-potties won’t do for a wedding. Running water and flushing toilets are a must! Plus, at a private residence, for example, no one wants to have a ton of guests traipsing through the house and waiting forever in lineups, and then risking the plumbing backing up.
