Interviewer: How did you wind up at the Outlier Inn in New York?
Deana: When I say I’m passionate about the outdoors, I mean, I LOVE the outdoors – and, Ethan has grown to love it, too. Since family and friends are scattered all over, we were hoping to find a place where people could stay on site with us, as well.
So, I turned to Airbnb. Rather quickly, I found the dome in a search; then, realized what the Outlier Inn was. At first, the dome was going to be where we had guests sleep – but, when we stepped inside, we knew it had to be our dance floor!” ― Deana

At Pacific Domes, we get asked this question a lot. Dome tents are inherently designed to withstand extreme weather conditions − rain run-off happens naturally – the American Institute of Architects calls the geodesic dome the strongest structure known to man.
On your special wedding day, you’ll want everything to be perfect, leaving nothing to chance. There’s always a bit of pre-planning for the unforseen’s of having an outdoor wedding. With a little pre-planning for the unexpected, you and your guests will stay safe and dry, no matter what Mother Nature brings to your wedding party.
Here’s some helpful tips that will help you with pre-planning:
• Strategically position your dome tent with easy access to walkways and nearby facilities.
• Have umbrellas available so guests can stay dry while walking to their vehicles
• Stretch Décor adds a touch of swooping elegance – it’s easy to create covered walk-ways and drop-down sidewalls that serve a dual purpose.
• Secure plastic rain gutters or dig unobtrusive shallow trenches around the perimeter of the dome tent and along walk-ways to prevent rain from pooling.
• Lay flooring to keep the soft ground from becoming a weather-related issue.
• Have portable heating and cooling to maintain comfort levels.
