10. Hotel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Hotels likely find their way into your wedding plans, whether as a central space for you and your wedding party<\/a><\/strong> to get ready for the day or as a part of your honeymoon plans, but they may just make their way into your wedding plans as your venue. Most hotels have large reception spaces where you can host every part of your dream wedding.<\/p>\n

11. Warehouse<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you want plenty of space with a rustic or industrial aesthetic, a warehouse can provide just that. It\u2019s also an option that will allow you to incorporate your style and aesthetic preferences since a warehouse is essentially a blank slate.<\/p>\n

12. Library<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For book lovers, a library is a dream wedding venue. There are old libraries with beautiful architecture and small, intimate locations that are more affordable\u2014depending on where you plan to tie the knot. The common denominator is that you can hold your ceremony and reception with your friends, family, and favourite books surrounding you.<\/p>\n

13. University or College<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Many university and college buildings are impressive examples of architecture with plenty of interior space, making them an appealing option for a wedding. They can give couples access to multiple rooms and other onsite amenities (like gardens) for the duration of their wedding.<\/p>\n

14. Amusement Park<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When you opt to hold your wedding at an amusement park, you\u2019ll have somewhere to say your \u201cI dos\u201d and get admission to the park. It\u2019s a fun way to share your love for thrilling rides and carnival games with your loved ones.<\/p>\n

15. National Park or Campground<\/strong><\/h3>\n

National parks<\/a><\/strong> offer an outdoor wedding experience that you can tailor to your preferences in different ways. Some couples might host a camping weekend for a wedding celebration. There are some more rustic versions where you can car camp, but there are also glamping versions with hotel-like amenities in a yurt. Other couples may simply host a ceremony and reception dinner within the forest. It\u2019s certainly an unexpected way to celebrate, but it brings you closer to nature and the ones you love.<\/p>\n
