At Lazy Gators, we boast of an incredible venue and an even better view. The View off of our point offers incredible sights of the Lake of the Ozarks, and when you're planning your Lake of the Ozarks wedding - The Point at Lazy Gators is ideal. Of course, if you're planning an outdoor wedding, there are a few things you simply must incorporate in order to make your day a success. Here are five MUST HAVES for your outdoor wedding at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Hydration Station

With any summer wedding, you'll want to make sure that there is plenty to of beverages for your drinks, but with an outdoor wedding, it's even more important. Have a hydration station or several of them scattered around your venue so that your guests never have to wonder where they can grab a bottled water. While you can have other drinks available, too - water is key for an outdoor wedding in the summer.

Sun Protection

Don't make your guests search for a place to get away from the sun - create a place! Whether you rent a large tent for them to gather under or direct them towards the cabanas at Lazy Gators, make sure you have a plan for them. Some brides even work WITH the sun by planning wedding favors to protect their guests. Sunscreen, sunglasses and even paper umbrellas are all fun ways to keep your guests safe and provide wedding favors that they'll use.

A Backup Plan

We're sure you're already aware of this, but you'll want to have a backup plan for any outdoor wedding. Whether you're getting married on the point or on the sand - if it rains, you will want to move indoors. Make sure you work with your wedding coordinator and our team at Lazy Gators to come up with a backup plan for any weather related incidents.

Beat the Heat

It can get HOT in the midwest, and not just hot, but humid. When making plans for your outdoor wedding at the Lake of the Ozarks, think about some creative ways to help your guests beat the heat. You can pass out programs that double as fans to help your guests stay cool during the ceremony. You can also tell guests to bring their swimsuits and make your reception a pool party!

Primping Place

Create a place for the ladies at your wedding and provide them with some supplies to freshen up for your wedding. Deodorant, sunscreen, body spray, hair ties, and anything that someone may need to escape the sun for a bit and put their look back together.
