Unique places to get married

One of the important parts of planning your wedding is choosing a location. If you have decided that you’re done with the conventional and want to be a little different on your wedding day, this is a great idea! That is why we’ve put together this list of 7 unique places where you can hold your wedding.

• The Zoo

Yes, you read that right. We meant the zoo. You won’t be the first to do it and the animals can serve as a side attraction after your wedding ceremony. It won’t be like a great hall or destination wedding though, but you’re here because you want something different right?

• Under Water

A special amongst divers and great swimmers, wedding ceremonies can be and have been done underwater. It is sure to be intimate and personal, because how many people will be willing to dive to the bottom with you, so you can say your vows?

• On A Boat

If you think that underwater is too much for you, but still want it to be surrounded by water for your wedding, why not go for this option? It is also a favorite among irreligious people are you can legally be married by the Captain.

• Treehouse

Remember all those times you daydreamed of a wedding while up in your treehouse? Well, that dream can come to life. A treehouse wedding is very possible, just find a location doing them near you.

• The Theater

Say your vows to your spouse on stage. This one rocks especially if you’re both actors or maybe first met at the theater.

• The Gym

Yes, you can have your wedding at the gym. It is an unconventional location, so they might even charge you less. It can be especially romantic if you met your partner at the gym too.
