One of the newest trends in weddings lately is finding an unusual or unique spot for your venue. Whether you’re thinking of having your ceremony or reception- or both- at a location that brings meaning to your big day, rest assured you’re not alone in your thinking. Wedding planners everywhere are quickly learning to seek out un-thought of spots for brides and grooms who want to include their personalities, hobbies, passions or hopes and dreams in their wedding festivities. The wedding experts at Rose Hill Weddings have created a few different categories for you to consider if you’re looking for a unique, personalized venue to celebrate your best day together.
Nature & Animal-Lovers
If the two of you love nature, animals and the great outdoors, there are tons of great options to keep you near that which you love most. An alpaca farm, an apple orchard, a local vineyard…whatever your area promotes as local fare, it’s very possible the space can be rented for your wedding venue and maybe even your reception. Be sure to do your research and make sure you know what kind of access you and your guests will have throughout the venue. Other great nature-friendly venues include state or national parks, zoos, aquariums, beaches, or forests.
Adventurers
The adventurous wedding couple will love bringing all their friends and family along on one of their adventures. Whether you love mountaintop experiences or deep-sea diving, you can make this adventure your own. The newest trend in wedding venues as well as vacation spots is treehouses. Not the kind you remember from your backyard as a kid- the new trending treehouses are full of luxuries like jacuzzis and fireplaces. You may even consider staying in one for your wedding weekend. Other great ways to share your love for adventure with your wedding guests might include a mountaintop venue, a waterfall backdrop, or a sports-themed weekend!
Jet-Set Travelers
Couples who love to travel might think about including their love for traveling in their wedding day. Choosing a historic train station, airplane hanger or boat can allow you to experience the joy of traveling through your ceremony or reception’s setting. If you choose a train station, you’ll tap into days gone by when a train whistle meant something exciting was about to happen. Old train stations carry a historic value with them that can’t be beat. With tall windows, high ceilings and vintage decor, you can transport your wedding to another time when you host the festivities in a gorgeous train station. Similar options to this might include an airplane hanger, cruise ship or marina.
Trendsetters
If you and your partner love to be on the cutting edge of the newest, freshest ideas, you’ll love hosting your wedding in an up-and-coming spot that everyone will be talking about for years to come.The throwback to antiques and vintage details is huge right now. Rather than bringing all the small details to a different venue, have your ceremony or reception right there in a local vintage or antique shop, surrounded by your favorite decor. You can also think about opting for a city rooftop, a refurbished industrial space, a nightclub or an old movie or stage theater. Create a trendy vibe with your setting.
History Buffs
For those who love historical references, choose to host your wedding at a venue that reflects your love of the past. Historians, book nerds and lovers of literature have an affinity for libraries that others just don’t quite get. Just ask your literary friends: there’s simply nothing as beautiful as a wall full of books. What a unique way to start your life together! For other great historic venues, think about a museum, historic building, or even a local college or university campus.
No matter what type of venue you choose for your wedding ceremony and reception, be sure it’s a place that you and your partner will love. Let it reflect your shared passions, personalities and experiences. Your guests will love knowing one more amazing thing about who you really are.
