Today in Houston, TX parts of the city had major flooding again. The last major flood, if I'm correct, was Memorial Day weekend of 2015. Many homes were flooded and some people were just moving back in recently after repairs were completed. How does this relate to event planning, you ask? There are many beautiful outdoor venues in Houston as I'm sure there are all over this country. Many weddings, anniversary celebrations, birthday parties and other gatherings are held outside especially in the fall and early spring before it gets too dadblasted hot in this part of Texas. If you find an outdoor setting that you love and want to sign the contract, be sure to ask about their rain policy. What is their Plan B? How will they make sure your event will continue as planned? Do they have tent insurance? Of course, if there is a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, that's a different matter! Make sure you're clear on what they do in that situation as well. You want your event to go off as scheduled, I'm sure, but you also want to make sure your guests have a great time so that means making sure they're as dry as possible and most importantly, safe!
