1. Anticipating weather conditions

As a wedding planner, you're well aware that one of the biggest challenges of a winter wedding is dealing with unpredictable weather. Cold temperatures, snow, rain or wind can easily disrupt the event if no proper solutions are in place. To ensure your guests’ comfort and safety, it's essential to rely on dependable equipment and infrastructure.

This might include renting heated tents and fire pits for outdoor receptions, or weatherproof flooring and cozy indoor furniture. That’s where experienced partners like Atawa come in. As experts in event equipment rental, we provide tailored solutions designed to overcome harsh weather conditions.

Indoors, don’t hesitate to incorporate soft fabrics, velvet curtains, faux fur blankets and warm lighting to create a snug, intimate vibe. Even a subtle touch of ambient fragrance with woody or spicy notes can amplify the cocooning effect and leave a lasting impression.

2. Creating a magical atmosphere with original winter activities

A winter wedding is also the perfect opportunity to offer unique and creative activities. As an event professional, you naturally want to surprise your clients with inventive ideas suited to the season. Why not consider a hot chocolate bar, an outdoor ice rink, or a photo booth filled with winter-themed props ? These immersive elements add a special charm to the reception and make the experience truly memorable.

You could also arrange for the couple to arrive in a sleigh, organize a mulled wine tasting, or set up a marshmallow roasting station around a fire. These small details contribute to a warm and joyful ambiance and elevate the emotional impact of the event.

Lighting plays a crucial role in crafting this enchanted setting. String lights, lanterns and chandeliers can turn any venue into a magical winter wonderland. To help you bring this vision to life, Atawa offers lighting solutions specially designed for winter events, ensuring every moment shines literally from start to finish.

3. Choosing a venue suitable for the winter wedding

Selecting the right venue is key when planning a winter wedding. If you're supporting a couple who have chosen to marry during this season, it's important to find a space that’s both visually appealing and practically suited to cold weather. Whether it’s an estate, a manor or a chalet, make sure the venue includes warm and welcoming indoor spaces, while also offering a scenic view of the snow-covered landscape.

A great compromise could be a location with a large conservatory or a room featuring expansive bay windows allowing guests to enjoy natural light and beautiful views without being exposed to the cold.

Don’t overlook the practical aspects either: clear and safe parking areas, secure access in case of ice, and spacious cloakrooms for guests to store their coats.

If you're opting for an outdoor venue, Atawa’s logistical solutions can help you create a cozy environment with heated tents, heated sanitary facilities, solid flooring, and comfort accessories like blankets and hand warmers. Don’t forget to plan for snow or water drainage in case of heavy snowfall, as well as welcome mats or non-slip rugs to keep entranceways safe.

Thank you for all the support over the past few months. The result is here… Clients more than thrilled with their wedding and still floating on cloud nine. I was delighted to work with the Atawa teams. Having a local contact was fantastic. Thanks also for the pleasant surprise of having a single tent for both the caterer and the reception area. Visually, it was great.
