Adding an Etsy weather witch to my preferred vendor list ASAP!!!

Follow @weddingsbywolfe for real wedding planning advice and behind-the-scenes lessons from the Moab desert.

This weekend, Mother Nature REALLY put our contingency plans to the test.

With heavy rain in the forecast, we completely redesigned the reception layout the night before the wedding, moving the dance floor under the tent and rearranging seating to accommodate all 92 guests.

After coordinating a wedding through THAT storm, I’ve officially added three new rules to my outdoor event playbook.

1. CARDBOARD IS CANCELLED

The second cardboard gets soaked, it’s game over. Our décor storage boxes practically disintegrated, leaving us packing supplies into trash bags.
Weatherproof storage bins from here on out.

2. ALWAYS RESERVE THE SIDEWALLS

A tent roof doesn’t help much when the rain comes in sideways.
Pro tip from my tent rental vendor: reserve sidewalls with your initial order. Depending on the rental agreement, you may be able to remove them closer to the wedding if the forecast looks clear.
Better to have them and not need them than need them and not have them.

3. VENDORS NEED SHELTER TOO

Everyone thinks about keeping guests dry, but what about the people running the event?
Your vendors need protected spaces to stage supplies, organize décor, and keep things moving.
I literally went home and ordered enclosed shade structures for my planner headquarters.
The biggest takeaway? A weather contingency plan isn’t just a backup location. It’s a logistical strategy that protects the entire event.

The desert is unpredictable, but that’s part of what makes it so incredible.
And while the Etsy witch might be worth a shot, I’ll still be bringing my contingency plans.

SAVE this for your outdoor wedding planning checklist.

There was a rare May super bloom along the San Juan River where I witnessed dear friends starting new chapters in their lives.🌸🤎🌀

@kaitinthedesert & @ian.marynowski hosted a beautiful wedding. Congrats! @jackinthesandbox & @sunfloodband played soulful music as if a procession for Jack letting his own beat lead him. A stormy float with @nmilavetz was the perfect send off before her nomadic summer/grad school at Georgetown. @vctrcln continues to evolve in his unique professional desert life. Roland had his last day of work and is rolling on four wheels and freedom. Cheers, amigos! ✨

I have such love for this wonderful little town. In the midst of some very big ongoing and upcoming life changes (DJ Belly Bean, arriving earthside in July!), I had the honor of closing out this year’s Trashion Show one last time before life shifts directions for a while. A Moab tradition unlike any other and a true community effort- from our steadfast and brave hosts @woodystavern_moab who put up with more random bits and bobs of tattered trash costume at the end of the night than any bar should ever have to, to longtime organizers @resiliencyhub who were finally able to take a well earned break this year after many incredible events, to the new showrunners @kzmu.moab and @moabsunnews who threw what I truly believe was the silliest and most fun night I’ve had in a decade, to the sensational @sunfloodband who had everyone absolutely jumping with excitement to start the night, my co-DJs @stinkbajito and @august.granath who are a truly talented dynamic duo and just SLAYED their sets, to the judges for perfect picks among so many of the amazing costumes, my dear buddy @cozysoul91 for keeping us all informed and entertained while looking fab as our MC, my darling friend Bobby for the best helping hands and being master of the competition list all while wearing an entire ceiling fan, to Queen @whennajetzel our fearless leader. This week, my little disco baby hit the mark in development where they could hear sounds outside the womb-cave, and I can’t imagine a better debut for their little ears than this 💕 Love you, Moab, thanks for being exactly what you are.
