Unconventionally Cool and Unique Wedding Venues for Any Wedding Budget 

 

We understand that your wedding budget plays a crucial role in the wedding venue you end up booking in the end. And that is why, we are sure that the ideas we mention in the blog below will help you choose an interesting place to tie the knot in. These ideas are good for any wedding budget and are super fun. 

 

Cliffs and Foothills! 
Okay, we know this one is a little cliche, but we love it nevertheless! Simply put the charms of a mountain range will add an ethereal touch to your outdoor wedding. Although we love a pretty wedding venue with a lovely view of the mountain range, there is something super special about a wedding on a cliff. We love weddings on a cliff because it gives you a great view and some interesting ways to finish the wedding ceremony. What’s more, a wedding on a cliff is a great way to have an outdoor wedding reception as well. You can arrange to have a wedding on the cliff, with the valley behind you, and you can have an amazing wedding reception at the foothills of the mountain or hills. To make your wedding ceremony stand out, all you need is to choose a spot around the cliff and take your wedding vows there. You can release balloons or colorful lanterns as your wedding ceremony exit. With the serene beauty of the mountains in front of you, your wedding decorations can be simple and soft. You can throw a minimal wedding without having to worry about too many frills. 

 

Your Backyard! 
We love backyard weddings, to be honest. Although the first idea was for a couple with some extra cash to spare for a serene wedding venue, this one's for couples who have a tighter budget. A wedding should not break the bank, is what we believe. And most couples believe the same thing as well. After all, something beautiful and grand does not always have to cost a fortune. Backyard weddings are super fun to throw and are an amazing way to enjoy with those who you’re close to. This will help you throw a wedding with a lot of personal touches and help you curate an experience not only for yourself but also for your wedding guests! You have the opportunity to throw an intimate and personalized celebration of love, as a backyard wedding often allows for more creative freedom and flexibility than a traditional venue. And obviously, hosting a backyard wedding can be a more affordable option, as it eliminates the high costs of booking a wedding venue. What’s more, the wedding venue hunting time will decrease and you will have more time to pay attention to the bits and bobs of your wedding day, which means more time for your wedding planning, planning the wedding details, and nailing down the lovely wedding decor! It also allows for a more relaxed and casual atmosphere, making guests feel more at ease and comfortable. Plus, the ability to host both the ceremony and reception in one location can make the day more convenient for everyone involved. Also, this is a great way to actually spend the budget on the things that matter the most, like booking your wedding photographer, getting better wedding menu items, and the perfect signature wedding cocktails! 

 

A Gaming Arcade 
Whether you’re a gamer or you love the idea of having some fun activities to do, you can tick those boxes with a gaming arcade wedding venue! To us, the appeal of a gaming arcade is immense because firstly, you can find an arcade that allows you to throw celebrations. And secondly, you can also choose to come up with some creative ideas for your wedding ceremony! The thing is you can choose to have a wedding reception and ceremony at the arcade. You can choose to have the ceremony with the bowling alley in the background, or use an air hockey table as the wedding ceremony altar! This is absolutely unconventional and will definitely help you do something quirky and something different. Additionally, if you find an arcade with neon lights and brightly lit indoors, this will make your wedding photos look absolutely different! Also, if you choose a gaming arcade as your wedding venue we’re sure you won’t have to look for an interesting activity for your wedding reception party. All you will need to do is get game passes, or maybe you can even use a gaming card, topped up of course, as your wedding escort cards! This kind of wedding will not only give you amazing photos but also give you memories that will last a lifetime! 

 

Beach! 
Beach weddings are a popular choice for couples who want a romantic and unique setting for their special day. The stunning natural beauty of the beach, with its wide expanse of sand, sparkling water, and breathtaking views, provides a picturesque backdrop for the wedding ceremony and reception. The laid-back and relaxed atmosphere of the beach creates a more casual and intimate vibe, perfect for couples who want to celebrate their love in a less formal setting. Additionally, beach weddings offer the opportunity for guests to enjoy a mini-vacation, with activities like swimming, sunbathing, and exploring the local area. Overall, a beach wedding can be a dream come true for couples who want to exchange their vows in a stunning and unforgettable setting. What’s more, you can have an amazing honeymoon planned right after the wedding. Your wedding getaway car can absolutely take you to an amazing resort or to the airport if you’re flying to some other place. We love beach weddings for the lovely atmosphere and the party vibe. You and your partner can take amazing photos to remember the day, and above all, you can also find a great place to simply unwind as the wedding celebrations come to a close. You see, a wedding day is filled with a lot of things to do and plan. However, we feel that you can simply come up with ideas that make your wedding day at the beach perfect. You can have a faux light tent, you can also have an amazing wedding activity planned or you can have a beach after-wedding lunch with your friends and family! We love a beautiful wedding day. Also, a beach for a wedding makes the most sense to us because who does not love a walk on the shore? 

 

Libraries, Museums, Galleries
If you’re an art lover, love some amazing moments, and have a keen eye for something unique, then this idea is just for you! Instead of reserving traditional venues like country clubs and banquet halls, couples are now considering public spaces such as libraries, museums, and art galleries for their wedding events. Many older libraries and museums are situated in large, architecturally stunning buildings that are already adorned with books, exhibits, or art, saving couples from the need to decorate the space. Some museums may even permit guests to explore certain exhibits during the cocktail hour. However, the option to rent the space may vary based on each venue's policies. To add some charming details to your museum or art gallery wedding, all you need to do is come up with a pretty wedding decor. We suggest lovely gold and silver decor ideas, which exude royal appeal. Additionally, you can choose French-inspired details to add to this wedding idea. Of course, we understand that there could be budget aspects, but we can suggest renting out some of these decor options. This will help you manage your budget well! Additionally, you can look for museums or galleries that have large, architecturally beautiful spaces that can accommodate your guests comfortably. Make sure the space is appropriate for the type of event you want to have. Also, consider the space as per the number of wedding guests you intend to invite. Many museums and galleries are already decorated with art or exhibits, so take advantage of this and use the space as inspiration for your wedding decor. Consider incorporating elements of the art or exhibits into your wedding design, this will also help you bypass wedding decor planning. 

 

Aquariums and Zoos
Throwing a wedding at aquariums or zoos can be a unique and memorable experience for both the couple and their guests. These venues offer a beautiful and unusual setting with stunning views of exotic marine life or wild animals. They can provide an educational and interactive experience, allowing guests to learn about the animals and their habitats, as well as the important conservation work that the organization is doing. Additionally, many aquariums and zoos offer event spaces that can accommodate both large and small weddings, and some even offer catering services. Overall, hosting a wedding at an aquarium or zoo can be a fun and exciting way to celebrate a couple's love for each other while supporting a worthy cause. You can also choose an aquarium or a zoo that you’ve had an amazing date at some point and also are deeply connected to. This will help you make the most of your wedding day as well. You can also choose a place where you can donate some money for the well-being of the animals. 

 

Amazing Idea: The Extra One 
Apart from the ideas above, we are absolutely sure that this idea will work for just about any budget. Throwing a wedding at a brewery or at a bar that you love is another way to celebrate your love! The thing about these is that you can book a space just like any wedding venue. Above all, you won’t have to invest greatly in wedding decor ideas, simply because these spaces have a rustic charm, and have plenty of aspects to your wedding idea! Also, we’d like to suggest looking up some locations that serve amazing beers and cocktails, which can be a great addition to your wedding menu! 

 

A Few Things to Remember 
Although we understand that unconventional wedding venues are perfect and help you make the most of your wedding days, we feel that you will need to keep a few things in mind. For public wedding locations, for example, you will need to ensure that you have the right permits. Of course, a wedding venue will pose no such problems for you. However, if you’re choosing to throw a wedding at a certain section of a beach, or public property, check on the permits before you start the process. This will help you greatly. Above all, you can also have a look at some wedding ideas that can be a good DIY project for you and your partner. Sure enough not everything is DIY friendly. But if you and your partner are motivated and are good with your creative endeavors, you can have a great fun wedding. That aside, before you settle on a wedding idea, make sure that you are sure of your wedding decor and the timeline. Along with that, we recommend getting an idea of your wedding venue and the location, then sitting down and having a discussion with your partner. A wedding day is fun when both of you have something to play into it. Ensure that you and your partner are on the same page when you’re beginning to plan a wedding! 

One of the first things to do when you’re thinking of planning a wedding is to find the perfect wedding location. A wedding venue is a big aspect of your wedding planning because it not only is the place you and your partner start life but also allows you to find a place you’d take multiple photos of your wedding day! That said, some couples may want to take the unconventional way to throw an amazing party to celebrate their love, or some may want to make use of their wedding budget judiciously, the choices and convictions are different for every couple, which brings us to talk about some not-so-traditional wedding venue ideas! We love weddings, and we love creative twists to wedding ideas! And that is one of the reasons why we’ve compiled a list of cool wedding venues, which we hope helps you choose an amazing wedding venue. We understand that every couple is unique and so is every love story, and hope our list helps you find a venue that is unique and will give you a great way to celebrate the beginning of a new journey!
