Getting The Most From Your Wedding Rental
Here’s some things extra wee things that you can do to ensure you’re getting the most from your firepit wedding rental.
Keep your guests fed after your ceremony
You may want to give your guests a little food after your wedding ceremony to keep them going before the main meal. If so, we can offer them a delicious firepit treat with our Cosy Wedding Package. Our Firepit Attendant will be able to hand out marshmallows and skewers to your guests so they can toast them on the fire and make sure they’re well fed until the main meal. This always goes down well with children and adults alike and is a fun way of keeping your guests fed and having fun!
Ask us to take photos
If you’re renting a firepit with Firepit Attendant why not ask us if we can take photos of people around the firepit? You might already have a photographer for your day but our Firepit Attendant would be happy to grab some extra snaps…while they’re not attending to the fire of course.
Make use of the dusk light
The best time for photos with a firepit is in the evening as the light begins to fade. Make sure that your photographer knows you have a firepit and books time in to capture you and your loved ones having fun around the firepit.
Use extra props
If you want to create a really cool effect think of adding extras around your firepit like hay bales or benches. You can often source these from your venue or local farmers or suppliers.
Firepit Wedding Timings
The obvious time to think of when introducing a firepit at your wedding would be at night but in reality a firepit can be used to good effect at any time during the day…even morning! It just depends on your budget and the format of your wedding. Here’s some suggestions that might inspire you.
After The Ceremony
Best time because…it sets a relaxed tone after the ceremony and keeps your guests warm while you are getting your photos taken.
This is a good time to introduce a firepit especially if it’s cold and you are wanting your guests to spend some time outside in between the ceremony and meal. This will really set the mood for the day and will relax guests into a fun evening of eating, laughing and dancing. You could even choose our Wedding Package that comes with skewers and marshmallows to toast so your guests aren’t left feeling hungry in between the ceremony and dinner. We also offer blankets as part of this package for your guests to have and to hold in case they get cold!
After The Meal
Best time because…it is the most popular time and gives you and your guests something new and exciting to enjoy after the meal.
In our experience this is the most popular time to introduce a firepit to your wedding. More often than not the sun is going down and the temperature drops so it’s a very good time to introduce something bright and warm to your day! It’s also a real treat for your guests as they discover an exciting new addition to your wedding. After dinner also coincides with guests often gravitating outside for a short while to get some fresh air or walk off their meal before the dancing. If you have guests attending who smoke it’s a superb addition for them popping out for a puff.
After The Dancing
Best time because…you can be guaranteed some quality time with your nearest and dearest.
If your venue will allow it and once the majority of your guests have left why not take a small group of your nearest and dearest outside, pull up some chairs, stick some chill out music on and enjoy a drink or two around the fire. This is an excellent time to unwind and spend some quality time with your favourite people because let’s face it weddings can be a whirlwind of excitement and you don’t always get time to sit and spend time with those that mean the most to you.
Our firepit hire prices start from £200 and once you select a package we can agree timings that suit your requirements on the day. To find out more or make a booking contact us below.
5 Reasons to Rent a Firepit
Atmosphere
A firepit is the ultimate focal point for the outdoors that creates a cosy ambient glow for the outside. Firepits aren’t just to be used at night time and can create a wonderful atmosphere throughout the day especially in those colder days throughout the year. Something we always hear is that our customers wish that they had hired their firepit for earlier in the day.
Warmth
There’s no doubting the heat that a firepit can create but it will generate a warmth at your event by just being there. The effects of a fire have even been proven to help us become more relaxed and sociable! What better thing to have to get your guests chatting to one another.
The Photos!
The light that a firepit can create in the evening is really special. Not only will it create a lovely ambience but it makes for fantastic photos with the light of the amber flames flickering onto the faces of your laughing guests. If you’re getting married then ask your photographer to use your firepit to create a really cool photo to remember.
Smell
At Firepit Hire Scotland we use kiln dried wood that is free from chemicals and creates an amazing smell that’ll conjure up warm feels at your event. To add an extra special scent to your event add some pine cones or cinnamon sticks to the fire.
Fun
Everyone loves playing with a fire (safely of course) but we can offer guests at your wedding with some extra props to make full use of the firepit. We can hand out blankets to keep your guests extra cosy and marshmallows for toasting on sticks to keep your guests well fed. Adults and kids will love it!
