As you probably gathered reading all about our wedding venue, Prince William Forest Park Cabin Camp #5, we were entirely on our own. The park has nothing like an on-site coordinator, or supplies to get the venue ready, or anything like that. So we had to make sure that we were full prepared for everything. If you have a similar, entirely DIY wedding venue, I hope that you’ll find the following checklist useful for things that you should bring if you have a similar venue!
- Scissors
- Utility Knife
- Cable ties
- String
- Velcro
- Wire
- Scotch tape, masking tape, and duct tape
- Steamer (to steam wrinkles out of things like table linens)
- Rags
- Surface cleaners
- Power Strips
- Extension cords
- Electrical tape
- Step stool
- Ladder
- Thumbtacks
- Pens and markers
- Flashlights
- Pins
- Notebooks and paper
- Leaf blower or push broom (especially useful for outdoor spaces)
- Boatloads of plastic containers to take home your leftovers
