The Fun World of Non-Traditional Wedding Locations

Now that the proposal has been accepted and the friends and family have been alerted the real fun begins. While some couples have already pre-determined where they will exchange their nuptials, for others they must start by asking a simple question: even before securing the women’s and men’s wedding rings, where are we going to get wedding?

While we limit ourselves sometimes due to financial means and family obligation the fact remains that, in theory, your imagination is the limit on where you and your fiancée can exchange vows. Almost any business or location will offer couples a chance to get married on their grounds. From theme parks to sports stadium to malls to even fast food restaurants, if you can dream it they will probably let you have your wedding there. Heck, even prisons marry people… though, you might want to hold off on that one.

Many theme parks have begun to offer package wedding’s for those looking to get married in a fantasy setting. Both Disneyland and Disney World offer extensive (and expensive) packages which include fantasy suites for the wedding party, gourmet food for the reception and, of course, a wedding ceremony in front of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle during park hours. Mickey and friends will of course drop by for the festivities.

Zoo’s have also began offering “dream weddings” for its visitors. Though they are also pricey, zoo weddings offer all the bells and whistles of a regular wedding with food, bars, etc., but with animals all around (in their enclosures… it’s safer that way). Sea World also offers weddings for those looking for an aquatic theme for their nuptials. If you ever wanted pictures with Shamu while you’re wearing your wedding dress, this is the way you to go.

Sports stadiums have been offering couples the chance to get married on their grounds for years. Check with your local sports teams for wedding info. If you are a super fan you might want to look into getting married on game day and then having your reception in a luxury suite during the game. Nothing say’s eternal love like peanuts and cracker jacks. In addition to these theme parks and stadiums, there are countless other creative places for your wedding ceremony and reception. Cruise ships, national parks, raceways, castles- you can exchange your vows anywhere in the world you choose. Prices vary just about any place you go, so there are opportunities for all price ranges. Just use your creative muscle and you can come up with a dream wedding that everyone involved will enjoy.
