W hen planning a special day, continue to do so in familiar venues.
Houses of worship, hotels and country clubs remain wildly popular for wedding, anniversary and birthday venues. Those who want to stray from that norm often look for unique locations to make the moment memorable and there’s no shortage of special spots to do just that.
Rooftop venues.
Few backdrops inspire the awe of city skylines, especially for weddings, when couples wait to get hitched until night has fallen and buildings have lit up. Rooftop restaurants and bars have undergone a resurgence in recent years, and these facilities are tailor-made for citydwelling couples who want an enviable backdrop for their nuptial or a special event. Many such establishments are even affiliated with hotels, which can simplify planning.
Museums.
Those who want their guests to take a stroll through history before they watch the special happening begin, can consider holding the event at a local museum. Many museums offer a variety of reception options.
The vaulted ceilings and airy quality of many art museums make them an ideal place to host large gatherings.
Vineyard/winery.
Oenophiles will no doubt love the idea of having an event at a vineyard or winery, but even people without a taste for wine can appreciate such locales. Sprawling fields and expansive skies, make vineyards and wineries an ideal place to host a gathering.
Stadiums.
Couples who first bonded over their love of a particular sport and/or favorite team, can incorporate that into their nuptials, by getting married at a stadium. Professional and collegiate teams typically offer wedding and reception packages, and guests may appreciate the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hang out on the field where their favorite athletes play.
Historic homes.
