NOT Wedding Savy Girl - Planning Beach Hamptons Wedding. HELP!

Hi there! I have NO IDEA where to even begin. I want to marry in the hamptons (easthampton) we'd like to do a tent wedding. We want an excellent caterer, our date is September 2014. I have no idea what place to do it - but I know I like a smaller less gaudy venue, like a nice old estate on the beach. My fiance's family has a small cottage by the beach - so do we need a venue if we can use that property? The land is an acre and a half....it's on grass and the beach is just over the hill. (it's not entirely beach FRONT since it's grass and about a 100 ft walk to the water)

this whole thing is my worst nightmare. I just am a disaster at this. I have no idea how or where to begin. I am seeing tents for rent, but then I see tent 'flooring' and tent 'lining' and lighting and I didn't realize all of this stuff doesn't just come together. Its' all separate.

Anybody have a beach wedding who can give me some pointers? I'm ready to explode.

thank you!

Congratulations! The first thing you should do is call the tent company. They will come see the property and tell you exactly what you will need. Most likely you will need flooring because even if you don't get rain on your wedding day it could rain just prior, leaving you with a soggy ground. They will come in and make suggestions on lighting, flooring, and linings. This is the best place to start because once you have the general idea of what you need, you can start pricing out different companies.

I'd contact Meaghan from Fruition Events. She is well-known for this exact type of wedding. Tell her Cheryl from Flowerfield recommended her!
