Your wedding venue is vital and special for many reasons, and deciding where you will host your celebration will likely make your soiree feel even more real.

Deciding on a venue is paramount. If you're considering utilizing an Airbnb property as your wedding venue, check out our top tips to help you plan your wedding.

Try to See the Property in Person

We would suggest you check out the property before booking. Pictures sometimes don't do the property justice and can misguide you. Make sure the Airbnb allows for weddings/events, and be sure to ask about maximum capacity and other rules associated with the property. This will help you to have an idea of how to host a successful event at their property.

Always Check Your Surroundings

You will want to make sure that there are also several other hotels or vacation rentals in your surrounding area that can easily accommodate your guest list as well. The Airbnb wedding venue will most likely accommodate you and your soon-to-be spouse! 

Think of Decor and Location

Make sure the wedding decor will flow nicely with the venue. If you are having a rustic-themed wedding try looking for an Airbnb that is a farmhouse or cabin with plenty of outdoor space. 

Consider Rentals

You can give your wedding your personal touch by bringing in the décor and rentals that reflect your taste and style. From tables to barware and everything in between! Be sure to ask the Airbnb owner who they would recommend when it comes to a full-service wedding rental company. It might be included with your venue or catering packages, so talk to your vendors (particularly your caterer) about other types of items you might need to add to your wedding rental checklist. 

Look into Local Food + Drink Options

An Airbnb property might have some limitations for the catering company. If the kitchen is not properly equipped or if there is not much prep space, consider bringing a food truck or bar carts. 

Make the Most of the Location for Photographs 

Photography background matters a lot! 

When selecting an Airbnb property as your wedding venue, make sure to check out the location surrounding the property. The photographer will be utilizing the outdoor/indoor space to take pictures. Make sure you will be happy with the background. 

Trust a Planner with the Details

An Airbnb property is more of an at-home vibe for a wedding, yet we still suggest entrusting a wedding planner to manage your event so that you can enjoy your time with friends and family. Let a wedding planner help with all the details!
