On a tight budget? First-choice venue booked? Looking to have that one-of-a-kind wedding? Whatever your circumstance, everyone wants their big day to be unique and memorable. Consider some alternatives to take advantage of potentially lower costs and unique photo backdrops.
- Ballpark/Stadium/Arena - Dodger Stadium
- Barn - Locate in the Gathering Guide
- Brew-house - The Brewery Artist Loft
- Commercial Rooftops - The Standard Hotel
- Library - http://www.lapl.org/newsroom/central/hi-res/Central_pool.jpg
- Museum/Gallery - Skirball Cultural Center
- Parks/Arboretum - Arboretum.org
- Performance halls - The Music Box/ (also rooftop)
- Rooftop of parking structure or empty parking lot - Example Photos
- Un-used lofts or commercial buildings - AT&T Center
- Vacation rental property
Keep in mind, that opting out of the all-inclusive hotel package means that you’ll have to do a lot of legwork yourself and costs of hiring independent vendors yourself can be pricey. In addition, it’ll take some negotiating and lots of creativity to use venues that do not normally host large parties or events.
