One of the first and most important steps in wedding planning is picking a venue. While most typically go for a hotel, function hall or country club, you have a lot more options than you may realize. Are you looking for a different kind of spot for your big day? Consider some of these off-the-beaten-path ideas.
Prioritize
What do you most want out of your wedding? A beautiful view? An easy trip for family and friends? Saving money? Great food? Whatever it is, keep that in mind when choosing your venue. There’s a perfect spot for every wedding.
Breweries
Wine and beer are usually in pretty high demand at a wedding. Craft breweries pepper the landscape of every state, and they’re quite family-friendly. Many of these venues serve food, and welcome children and pets. Holding your wedding at a brewery will not only ensure that everyone has enough to drink, but many of these establishments also include corn hole sets or other outdoor games.
Many wineries can convert tasting rooms into function halls for weddings or other events.Wineries
Vineyards provide a gorgeous backdrop for wedding photos, and they’re already stocked with wine! Many wineries host different types of functions, including weddings, so they should be well prepared. Souvenir wine glasses would make excellent favors for your guests, too.
The great outdoors
Whether it’s in a public park, on the beach or camping out under the stars, adding the splendor of nature will help set your wedding apart as a memorable one.
