Unique Wedding Locations

Do you want to try something different? What about getting married at the location of your first date or where you got engaged. Maybe there is a special place that is close to your heart. Don’t be afraid to ask if the ceremony can be arranged.

Having your wedding in your family’s back yard makes for an intimate ceremony and the wedding party will likely feel more at home with the location than any other, but this option is not without its problems. Consider what you will do in case of rain, how you will handle the number of guests and their vehicles, and the intricacies of catering, seating and insurance.

If you and your future spouse are nature enthusiasts, what about having your wedding at a scenic overlook on your favorite hiking trail or scenic byway? If you are into spelunking, check with the folks at Florida Caverns State Park in Marianna to see if they could accommodate your celebration.

If you’re a Jim Cary fan, check with the community of Seaside, Florida, where The Truman Show was filmed to see if they could accommodate your plans. In fact, there are wonderful little communities all along the coast of Florida’s Great Northwest that might be just what you’re looking for to foster wonderful lifelong memories of the start of your lives together.

Eden State Park offers Spanish moss draped live oaks, beautiful gardens and a historic Southern Mansion. This would be a wonderful choice for couples desiring a romantic wedding site that is away from the beaches.

Don’t be afraid to be creative. Your ceremony should be a reflection of your and your fiancé‘s personalities.

That may mean a traditional ceremony or it may mean something completely unique. While you should be aware that you are going to look back at your wedding pictures in 20 or 30 years, don’t be afraid to make the day and the ceremony uniquely yours.
