Unconventional Venues

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.
