10 Unique Wedding Venues And Ideas For You
After witnessing lots of unique and remarkable wedding, for sure you already got an idea or two in terms of places where wedding reception and ceremonies should or must take place. A good location has a huge effect for the celebration to become more entertaining and exciting, not only for the couple, but for the guests as well.
The below 10 wedding venues idea might expand more your ideas and choices of venue and location. You might find them a bit normal or not that unusual, but then again, it is up to you how to make it more extraordinary. So, here is the list.
Chapel
A chapel wedding is perfect for a small but intimate ceremony. With minimal design and the smell and touch of flowers around, it can surely set the mood of everyone. Chapel wedding is not that expensive too compared to the bigger church weddings. If the wedding is themed to be cozy and comfy, then chapel is a nice choice to complement it.
Where Your Passion Takes You
If you love butterflies and think the butterfly habitat at the local zoo is the perfect place for your wedding, then it never hurts to ask if you can make the magic happen there. If you love fairy tales, you can always go for the Cinderella wedding theme and find a perfect place for it. Even if you just adore the arts and want to get married in your favorite art gallery, you may be able to pull it off with permission, some time and a little judicious planning.
Your choice may require some additional creative strategizing, but it never hurts to explore all the options, especially if it'll make your dreams come true.
Winery
Winery is becoming a trend in terms of wedding venues. Why? the location and the surroundings is a picture or photo friendly. Their picturesque, wine history and lore makes for lively post wedding conversation and the vistas are usually breathtaking. Wineries are also great for vintage themed wedding.
On the Waterfront
Beach wedding is awesome and intimate as well. Anything on the water or with an ocean, lake or river view can be a dramatic and appealing locale for a wedding. A nautical theme offers lots of design opportunities too. There's something about the water that makes festive occasions even more special. Also,ferries, houseboats, dockside restaurants and parks near or on waterways are among the top choices.
At the Country Club
Country clubs often have lavish facilities that make for spectacular indoor and outdoor wedding celebrations. They can be pricy locations, though, and may have restrictions you'll want to review if you aren't already a club member. If you've got the budget, and a wedding and reception with all the trimmings is your childhood dream, a little country club ambiance may be just what the wedding planner ordered.
In the Hall
No one ever said a wedding had to be fancy to be delightful. If a simple city hall wedding worked for Carrie Bradshaw (of Sex and the City fame), it may work for you too. One nice thing about this approach is that it doesn't take much planning and can be a low-stress option. If you've ever participated in a big wedding, you might find a civil ceremony refreshingly easygoing and the best choice for your temperament and budget.
At a Museum or Historic Building
When you're looking for picturesque or meaningful sites for your wedding, don't forget to check out the historic or cultural buildings in your area. Some of these venues offer great rental discounts and have quaint, impressive or unexpected features that make dynamic photo opportunities, like elaborate entrances or stained-glass windows. If you think all that marble or stone looks too cold, consider it a great neutral background for loads of flowers -- and your wedding party, of course.
To make sure you've covered all the bases, check with your local chamber of commerce for suggestions. Sometimes college buildings and state owned buildings that you wouldn't consider rentable are available for weddings on a limited basis
In a Public or Private Park
For the bride on a budget, planning a wedding and reception in the park can be a beautiful and economical choice. Mother Nature will play a part in making it perfect, though. Horror stories about outdoor weddings gone wrong abound, but no one will argue that when it works, an outdoor wedding has special charm. For a nominal fee in some areas, you can rent a site, often including a covered space with electrical service. If the weather in your area is predictable, this could be the perfect location for you.
In the Garden
Getting married in your own backyard can be a touching tribute to your parents (if you're getting married at the family homestead) and an homage to the gardener in your family. The size of the wedding and potential weather problems are always considerations when dealing with limited outdoor spaces, though. Having to add structural elements, like tents, tables, lighting, chairs and a platform to the property could destroy some of the existing landscaping too. You should also consider issues like parking (you may be able to ask the local police department to block the street for the duration for a nominal fee), and the inconvenience a big gathering may cause the neighbors.
In the Extreme
You love extreme sports or simply a fan of it? Well, extreme locations are perfect for you! For sure you've read about couples who tied the knot scuba diving, skydiving or mountain climbing. Extreme weddings can be news-at-eleven worthy or just exciting and remarkable. Contemplating a bold, themed wedding is a gutsy move, but it could pay dividends. It might turn out to be the event of the season, or just the best weekend outing you've ever had or sponsored. Just make sure the place is safe for you and for every guests or people around you.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may jump all the way down!"

if my hubby ask me to wed him again, i would love a beach wedding hahaha
Oh the ceremony in the infinity pool is cool! But the one on the stones was really extreme! LOL
It is interesting if they can find a unique venue... but this is also risky. It is up to the couple if they are aggressive or experimental...
I would like it to be a garden wedding if ever hubby and i will get married again1kaya lang church is so strict haha. even the priests' sermon should be about the couple pero ang sinesermon rh bill!
A garden wedding would be lovely too. Around 8 am para fresh!
A venue in a museum lobby sounds like a nice idea.
Goodness! I don't think I'd be able to say I do 'In The Extreme'. Just looking at that pic makes my feet quiver. :P My husband and I opted for a garden wedding five years ago. It was the wedding I envisioned complete with butterflies and flower girls dressed as fairies. :)
I totally agree, a beach wedding is certainly lovely :)
beach and garden wedding sounds interesting but I still want to be wed in the church
I would probably just go for a very simple church wedding, or even a civil one in City Hall. Not sure if you can dress up the place where they hold civil weddings though.
Wow Ron, another new blog you have here! Perhaps you can share us some tips next time on how to generate money from blog. Your experiences may help us :)
Great list... I got married in a small country club and loved it. Next time, the beach would be nice. ;-)
Eliz bc blogger
Some have it under the sea. Cool ideas.
I got wed twice on my choice of venues. In a chapel and a week after was in a beach. I agree, it's very important to choose a place where your heart brings you. After all, a wedding is a celebration of love. :-)
That was an interesting place for a wedding
I got scared seeing the In The Extreme venue.. up high on the rocks. :) What if they fall? nakakatakot! But nevertheless, this was a helpful post. :) Thanks for sharing!
Lovely locations for a wedding. Would make great suggestions for celebration of a wedding anniversary.
How I wish I found your blog before my wedding day! You have lots of helpful tips in here. It could have made the preparation less stressful.
I love the winery because it is unique and romantic. It would be wonderful to do it in Bordeaux, France (if i had the money) to really complete the theme.
One wedding theme I will never do is the extreme wedding. I am scared!
"I now pronounce you as husband and wife, you may now jump all the way down". -- haha. Cute and hilarious.
The extreme wedding seems a lot of fun, though. :)
hindi ko yata un extreme! hehehe i want a chapel wedding someday! :)
I would love another wedding this time at the beach. :)hehe
Extreme wedding? Are they for real? hahaha! I wouldn't do that. I'd rather jump from a plane by parachuting rather than standing on that cliff hahahaha!
For me Weeding On the Waterfront is the most romantic and serene, it's so relaxing and after the wedding you can just be at the shore with your spouse.
It is a done deal na Sir Ron. It will be a church wedding on our 50th wedding anniversary.
