One of the first things to agree on for an engaged couple is their wedding venue. The ideal location not only has to be beautiful and roomy, it also has to satisfy all of your logistical needs. Is there ample lighting and good acoustics? Will the parking accommodate all the guests? Is it accessible to the rest of the wedding party?
To help reduce some stress when planning your wedding, we’ve listed 5 wedding hotspots that can narrow down your choices.
5 Modern Wedding Hotspots in the U.S.
Seattle

Obviously, we are going to include Seattle in this list. There is an abundance of scenic wedding venues here in the Emerald City. Waterfront weddings are all the rage right now even among couples from out of town.
There are also woodland areas that are perfect for a rustic style wedding. Woodinville Lavender is one venue that comes to mind, which is a 30-minute drive from downtown. The place is elegant and it’s renowned for smelling beautiful due to the sea of lavender in the area. If you aren’t comfortable with an outdoor ceremony, don’t worry, Seattle has no shortage of indoor venues, too. You can tie the knot on a retired ferry turned into an event space or a spacious room with panoramic views of the Seattle skyline.
San Francisco

If flying to Europe is impractical, why not get married in San Francisco, AKA the Paris of the West? The view of the Golden Gate Bridge is extremely romantic and will make for a nice background for a wedding. You can get married anywhere in the city—in a chapel, a period home, and even in a planetarium! Catering won’t be a problem as Frisco is also a culinary hotspot, not to mention a stone’s throw away from Wine Country.
Las Vegas

This list wouldn’t be complete without Las Vegas as it is America’s top wedding destination, and hosts 5% of the entire marriages in our country each year. Sure, it has a reputation for shotgun weddings as you can get a marriage license easier than in many other cities. But if you want a well-planned ceremony with hundreds of guests and a unique program to boot, it’s actually a great place to hold your nuptials.
You can say “I do” in a cozy cabana, a replica of the Eiffel Tower, the famed Graceland Wedding Chapel, or even in a helicopter! The wedding industry in Vegas is booming so you won’t have any trouble looking for a wedding planner, venue, food service, floral arrangements, or entertainment.
New York

The Big Apple is home to iconic wedding venues that have long waiting lists. Getting married in the Empire State Building, for instance, is a dream for some women. Every detail can be planned exceptionally well, from getting your dream wedding dress to booking the top-rated florists in the country.
