Gazebo Party Idea

Probably the most common gazebo party idea is to use it for a wedding ceremony. True, a wedding is a wonderful use for a home gazebo especially in warmer months, but it can also be used for so many other outdoor events.

Using a gazebo doesn't have to mean "formal." In fact it can help set the mood for a more informal party. Just because of how they are usually constructed, home gazebos are perfect for any activity requiring a stage. Here are a few of our favorite party ideas:

Musicians - A favorite gazebo party idea is to hire some musicians and let them set up in the gazebo. Obviously most gazebos can not accomodate a large band but you should be able to fit a couple of musicians and their equipment.
Magic Shows - Kids and adults will love watching a magician do his thing from your gazebo. They are usually lifted high enough off the ground making them the perfect stage for magic shows which is an affordable party idea.
Karaoke - If you or a friend has a karaoke machine, a home gazebo would be the perfect place to set up the equipment. Usually just a few people are singing at the same time so everyone would be able to fit comfortably.
Face Painters - A popular activity, especially at kid parties, is to hire a face painter and let the kids choose their design. A face painter would certainly appreciate having the use of your gazebo where they can spread out the paints and be somewhat separated from the rest of the crowd.
Caricature Artists - Another gazebo party idea is to hire a caricature artist. Your guests would take turns sitting for the artist and would end up taking home a drawing that is cartoonish in nature. We had caricatures done of our kids when they were small and I love them to this day.
Food Stations - Since they are covered, a perfect gazebo party idea is to use it as a bar, serving a special selection of summer cocktails. If you have a designated bartender, your guests can easily enter the gazebo and order a special cocktail from your menu. Click here to download a free Cocktail Ideas Menu for some ideas.

Since most of them are so small, they are usually only used as sitting areas but hopefully we have shown you a few gazebo party ideas that you and your guests will long remember.
