Did you know, Airbnb offers a wide range of unique and charming properties that can be suitable for intimate weddings, it’s important to note that not all Airbnb listings permit hosting events or weddings. It’s crucial to carefully review the property rules, communicate with the host, and ensure that the venue is suitable for your specific wedding needs. Here are a few potential Airbnb wedding venues in the USA, keeping in mind that availability and regulations may vary:
Luxury Estate in Malibu, California: Malibu is known for its picturesque coastline, and there are stunning Airbnb properties available for weddings. Look for beachfront estates with spacious outdoor areas and breathtaking views, perfect for a romantic seaside ceremony.
Rustic Farmhouse, in the Hudson Valley, New York: The Hudson Valley region offers charming farmhouse rentals that can serve as a beautiful backdrop for a rustic or bohemian-style wedding. These properties often feature scenic landscapes, barns, and gardens.
Mountain Retreat in Aspen, Colorado: For couples seeking a mountain wedding, Aspen offers a variety of Airbnb rentals nestled among the Rocky Mountains. Look for cabins or lodges with panoramic views, outdoor spaces, and proximity to hiking trails or ski resorts.
Vineyard Property in Napa Valley, California: Napa Valley is renowned for its vineyards and wineries, and some Airbnb listings provide access to private vineyard estates. These venues can offer a romantic setting surrounded by lush vineyards, making them ideal for intimate wedding ceremonies and receptions.
Beachfront Villa in Outer Banks, North Carolina: The Outer Banks boasts beautiful beaches and coastal charm. Look for beachfront villas or oceanfront properties that can accommodate smaller weddings and provide direct access to sandy shores for an intimate beach wedding.
Always make sure to communicate with the host about your wedding plans, the number of guests, and any specific requirements or restrictions you may have. Additionally, be aware of local regulations and obtain any necessary permits or licenses for hosting an event at an Airbnb property.
While Airbnb properties are typically best for small getaways, there are some homeowners who have designed their space to be perfect for events—like weddings. It just takes a little searching to find them. Lucky for you, we’ve searched, searched, and searched some more—easing your wedding planning stress. Whether you’re dreaming of an elopement-styled ceremony, a micro-wedding, or a large over-the-top celebration, we’ve got you covered. We’ve compiled a list of top-notch Airbnb wedding venues in every state. Don’t forget to contact your host and inform them of your intentions for using their property before you book. There may be additional fees if you will be bringing in rentals or hosting any event larger than the maximum number of occupants.
So, if you are eloping or hosting just the amount of people “allowed,” we still recommend informing the host of your intentions. Ask if they have a photography policy, and make sure they’re alright with any alterations you intend to make to the space. And keep in mind, many communities have sound ordinance rules that you must adhere to.
Think of an Airbnb wedding as a time to unwind, relax, and enjoy the weekend with family and friends. While we do love a great party, this isn’t the type of venue to host a raging party. If you want to get rowdy, consider taking your reception to a nearby bar.
We hope you have fun scrolling through these properties! Once you’ve found the best Airbnb for your wedding day, make sure and check out our tips for hosting an Airbnb wedding.
