Wedding venues are popping up all across the country in buildings that at one time had an entirely different use. Former warehouses, monasteries, factories and even airplane hangars can be rented out for big events—like your wedding. These unconventional and raw spaces are like blank canvases that can be decorated to fit almost any theme or aesthetic, not to mention that the addition of flowers and décor creates a beautiful contrast.
TIP If the space doesn’t hold regular events, you may want to hire an event designer and wedding coordinator. They can help you navigate trickier elements like rentals and liquor licenses.
