Awesome Alternative Wedding Venues to Consider

More and more people are ditching the traditional options when it comes to picking a wedding venue these days. Below are some of the best alternative wedding venues if you don’t want to get married in a church.

Awesome Alternative Wedding Venues to Consider

Malibu Rocky Oaks

If you’re looking for a stunning but subdued wedding venue, there is nowhere better than the Malibu Rocky Oaks. It’s located high up in the Santa Monica Mountains and the view you get as you say your vows are simply stunning. It feels like you’re up in the clouds, and you’re overlooking some of the most beautiful views in the world.

The ceremonies carried out there are made even more special because they take place outdoors on a helipad. That means your views are unobstructed, and you feel the wind in your hair and the sun on your back. There’s no more majestic way to get married.

Niagara Falls

Everyone knows that people love going to Niagara Falls for their honeymoon, but not many people know that you can also get married there too. It’s a beautiful location in which to tie the knot. And if you’re a bit of a thrill-seeker, you can have the ceremony performed in the Sky Chapel overlooking the falls.

You can arrive in style too. Who needs a horse drawn carriage to arrive at your ceremony in when you can get there in a helicopter instead? You fly over Niagara Falls and arrive at your chapel to get married. But there’s something for everyone, so even if you want a simple ceremony, this could be the location for you.

Sheridan Inn

If you or your partner are interested in the history of America and all the tales and mythology that comes with it, the Sheridan Inn could be the ideal wedding venue for you. The inn was owned by the legendary Buffalo Bill towards the end of the 19th century, and it retains all the charm and period character of that time.

The Sheridan Inn is now a hotel and wedding venue, so they have plenty of experience of dealing with weddings. And when the ceremony is over you can visit all the attractions of the Old West that are dotted around Wyoming. The city of Cody is nearby, the hometown of Buffalo Bill himself.

Treehouse Point

A truly quirky and unique wedding location can be found in Issaquah, Washington, where you can get married in a real life treehouse. You probably haven’t been inside one since you were a kid, or maybe you’ve never been in on, but, trust me, they’re a great place to get married. Especially if you’re a nature lover!

And it’s not just for the service either, they offer overnight accommodation for the newly married couple. How great would it be to be woken up by the sound of birds singing in the forest the morning after your wedding? It’s a truly magical experience, so why not go for it?

All the best weddings are memorable, so don’t pick a boring or safe weddings venue. Go for something a little different like the ones above!
