Wedding Ceremony Venue

The most popular wedding ceremony venue for Christian couples is a church.

A church wedding used to be expected for most weddings, even for non-Christian couples. Many pastors include a wedding sermon in the actual ceremony. Now there are many more popular places to have a wedding.

When I attended college in San Diego, I thought a Pacific Ocean beach wedding at sunset would be perfect.

Here's a webpage for a Caribbean venue, Cayman Island weddings: The best way to marry and honeymoon in one perfect place -- Grand Cayman.

My niece got married about three years ago in a fancy country club wedding with a spare-no-expense ceremony and reception.

Some of our friends have had a simple backyard wedding.

Backyard weddings can be small and intimate. Of course, they can also be quite large. Don't forget to add a lovely wedding arch for your outdoor ceremony.

Other couples rent property out in the country. They have a beautiful outdoor wedding. Sometimes they incorporate a barn or two in their plans.

A public garden wedding makes a lovely backdrop while taking your vows. A city park also works nicely. Just be sure and reserve it with the city months in advance.

Another great kind of wedding, and one that many movie stars use, is a hotel ballroom wedding.

Some couples rent out an entire eating establishment. A favorite restaurant wedding is great for the ceremony and reception. Catering is certainly much easier.

My husband once performed a wedding ceremony for a couple of his co-workers during lunch. (My husband used to be a pastor.) The grounds outside of the lunchroom were beautiful so they had a short workplace wedding.

Another popular place to get married in is the bride's own home, especially if it is large. Having a home wedding takes a lot of rearranging, especially if it is indoors but can be well worth it.

Right now, the hottest new trend in a wedding ceremony venue is a destination wedding. Couples, along with their wedding parties and family members, travel to beautiful vacation spots for the wedding of their dreams. To many, this is cost-prohibitive, but if you can afford it, bon voyage!

Use your imagination and come up with an original wedding ceremony venue. Look around your town or city. Sometimes you can find some great ideas. Just be sure and check with the city to see if you need reservations, permits, etc.

For instance, in San Antonio, many couples get married downtown on our city's beautiful Riverwalk. It is especially magical around Christmas when thousands of lights are hung in the trees above the river.
