Six to twelve months prior to the event is preferable to give you the largest selection of options. For smaller events, a couple months notice is normally sufficient. Depending on the event, a few weeks may even suffice.
Weather is the biggest issue with outdoor events. Regardless of time of year or location, the weather is unpredictable. A covered area in the form of a large tent or pavilion is a must.
Destination weddings and events are becoming very popular and provide for a very memorable experience. But do keep in mind that because of the cost of travel, some guests may not be able to attend unless you are prepared to pay their costs.
The time of day of your event will play an important role in whether or not you should provide a full meal or appetizers only. Your budget for the event will be another important factor.
