If the outdoor space is large enough, a popular choice would be to hire a marquee and host all the activities in that, thus keeping disruption to the house minimal. If, however, both your house and garden are modestly sized, then you could consider a smaller pagoda outside, to give you an extra room to use however you need, such as to house the buffet table or disco. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.neptunus.co.uk\/products\/events\/pagoda-structures\/pluto-mars-jupiter\">There is a wide variety of temporary outdoor structures for hire, such as those available from Neptunus<\/a>.

Buffets can work just as well, and caterers can bring everything virtually ready to serve. An experienced firm should advise on wine too.
