One of the most important decisions couples have to make when planning a wedding is where to get married. Everyone has their own dream wedding venue. Selecting the right location to host your special day is crucial since the entire setting and tone of the day is based around the wedding venue style. Below is a brief overview of several types of wedding venues you can opt for.

Types of Wedding Venues

There are several different types of wedding venues you can choose for your special day. From a beach wedding to a modern hotel, this article will discuss, in detail, the common options for wedding venues


1. Beach


White sandy bitches are among the top picks for outdoor wedding venues. Beaches provide a more relaxed and casual feel. This can be appealing if you want a generally carefree wedding day. Most beach wedding venues are a drive or flight away and are generally not very costly. 


The waterfronts, lighting, and distant horizon offer a picturesque and romantic setting that is perfect for photography. In addition, beaches act as great blank canvases whereby you have a lot of customization options.


2. Historic Venue


Historic properties are another popular option for many couples. Historic venues usually come with large spaces and well maintained or manicured property. On top of this, you can expect fantastic staircases, great masonry work, giant columns, archways, large balconies. 


All these visual pleasantries provide unique and varied backdrops for wedding photography. These venues typically fall into three categories: privately owned, operated by a government department or operated by a non-profit organization or historical society.


3. Vineyard & Winery


A rustic setting, lush green leaves, and delicious wine; vineyards make for unforgettable wedding venues. Vineyards also avail rolling fields, plenty of natural light, and saturated colors. A great time to host a wedding at a vineyard is during summer when the grapevines are in full bloom. 


Fall is also another great hosting season. Most wineries often have an indoor dining option, canopy tent, or gazebo in case of inclement weather. Many vineyards also have fantastic vistas, which overlook scenic woods and winding roads.


4. Hotel

Getting married at a resort or hotel is another popular choice and for good reasons. The main benefit of hotel venues is a convenience for you and your guests. Hotels are used to hosting and entertaining large groups of people. 


As such, you have access to infrastructure and a reliable team. Hotels also provide everything required to host a wedding. You do not need to worry about acquiring many tables, chairs, dishes, silverware, linens, and stemware. 


Another perk is built-in accommodation. You can often reserve a number of rooms for any out-of-town guests at discounted rates. A good number of hotels provide great wedding packages that may include free honeymoon stays.


5. Barns/Farms


Barns and Farms have gained popularity in recent years as one of the top go-to wedding venues. Barns/Farms are perfect for rustic themed weddings. 


Although they require a bit more effort to put together, they offer a blank canvas giving more room for customization. Barns/farms are rich in history, have beautiful settings, act as hidden havens, have gorgeous gardens, and are rich in photo opportunities


There are many more types of wedding venues including museums, house of worship/churches, theatres, restaurants, destination resorts, banquet halls, private residences, state parks, botanical gardens, and industrial spaces. The wedding venue you choose should suit the type of wedding that you want to have as well as your budget.
