Wedding Wednesday: Unique & Historic Venues For Your Big Day


{ Via: 828 Venues  }

One of the first things a couple does after getting engaged, is selecting their wedding venue. In fact, you cannot set a date until you do. Ballrooms are grand, beaches are romantic, and church halls are usually not so chic. Most importantly they all come with limitations and stringent rules. Today's post features a different point of view to wedding planning, 828 Venues. The concept is like a breath of fresh air with unlimited possibilities. 

~ The Details ~


The concept is simple. You rent the venue of your choice for 24 hours, from 10:00 Am one day to 10:00 AM the next day. This time frame gives you plenty of time to create your wedding,  party all night if you wish, and begin your new life together the next day.  Each venue can host 100+ guests and up to 1,000,  One of my favorite features is that you can also DIY or not. Bring your own vendors or allow 828 Venues to fully coordinate your event, affording you complete creative freedom.

~ The Locations ~

Currently their properties are  in eight cities nationwide, with many more coming soon. Each venue is unique, has a fascinating history, and features character and charm. Scroll down to see if there is a venue near you.
