5 Reasons to Consider a Rooftop Wedding

Rooftop weddings provide a unique experience for both the bride and groom and the guests. Rooftops are beautiful venues that offer an interesting backdrop to the most significant moment in a couple’s life so far. There are amazing rooftop venue options available, and using a rooftop makes it easy to have the best photos after the event. If a rooftop wedding is a consideration, it’s important to consider the details before you make a decision. 

Why a rooftop wedding is great

• Limited space; smaller guest list

• Privacy and security

• Beautiful views

• Budget-friendly

• Unique decorating options

Limited space; smaller guest list

If creating a guest list is already a struggle - don’t worry, it is for many couples - a rooftop wedding will simplify the process. Rooftop venues, like Royal Affairs, are limited in space which means that the guest list will naturally be limited. This simplifies the task of choosing who to invite to a wedding.

Privacy and security

A top reason to choose a rooftop is the privacy and security that a rooftop location offers. There is usually one way to the roof which cuts down on uninvited guests or anyone who might wander in uninvited. Since the area is contained atop a building, guests have the space to themselves and enjoy the peace that provides.

Beautiful views

The top reason you should consider a rooftop wedding is the views. At Royal Affairs, guests are looking out over the sites of Old Town Lewisville and even catching a glimpse of airplanes in the distance leaving or returning to DFW Airport. This rooftop experience is unique and beautiful. You will love the small-town city lights surrounded by the big city skyline in any direction. 

Budget-friendly

Rooftop venues are often budget-friendly for several reasons. First, because the rooftop is a smaller space, the guest list is limited and you will spend less on the number of guests. Second, rooftop venues often require fewer staff, a smaller setup, and less clean-up after the party. You can learn more about our rooftop options here. 

Unique decorating options

There are so many natural decorations that occur once you’re on a rooftop. Immediately guests see the picturesque view. As a result, it is easy to do less decorating and more enjoying the moment. Twinkle lights are often hung in many rooftop spaces like ours providing a sparkly backdrop in photos. The bride and groom can focus on the focal point spaces like the area where vows will be exchanged, the drink station, and the food area rather than needing to decorate every table and every corner. The rooftop provides the backdrop and the focus can be on that.

Keep in mind...

There are always things to keep in mind when selecting any venue. It’s important to consider that weather may be a factor in your outdoor, rooftop wedding and reception. As a result, you will need a backup plan in the event of inclement weather. Some venues will have options like tents or covered porches which can work in certain situations. Other types of bad weather will mean the event needs to move indoors entirely. 

In this situation, it’s important to focus on what can be controlled rather than being disappointed by factors out of your control. At a venue like Royal Affairs, having an indoor space also makes it easy to have a backup plan for inclement weather on the rooftop. The backup plan can be built into your wedding plan so that adjustments can be made quickly and easily.

An experienced venue coordinator will ensure that every detail is considered in the planning and contracting process so that the bride and groom can have a stress-free experience. That is always the goal at Royal Affairs.
