15 very unusual wedding locations

So two loving hearts decided to unite: family life, everyday life, long-awaited children. But that’s all later, but in the meantime, large-scale wedding preparations are coming, and one of the serious questions is, where is the best place to celebrate the wedding? Newlyweds should take a lot into account: the number of guests, financial capabilities, wedding theme and their own wishes. For some, a small cafe (or even McDonald's) and being surrounded by your closest friends and relatives will seem comfortable and cozy, others will want to feel unity with nature and celebrate a wedding, for example, in the mountains, while others will prefer an ancient castle or rent a hotel room for newlyweds on an exotic island.

Options for wedding ceremony venue ideas can be very different - from modest and understandable to luxurious and exotic.

For this purpose, wooden boxes with fruit, hay, wooden barrels with bunches of grapes and, of course, a bruschetta bar were used, the treats for which were brought from Italy.

The best places for a winter wedding

You can have a wedding at any time of the year - every season is unique . Both summer and winter, with a positive attitude, you can find your own original advantages. During the cold season, when holding wedding events, first of all, you should take care of comfort and warmth for both the newlyweds themselves and the invited guests. Restaurants, cafes or recreation centers are excellent classic solutions for holding a wedding in winter. As entertainment and for a winter photo shoot, it is recommended to consider walks in the park or a trip out of town, and a country wedding cottage will allow you to organize a diverse holiday that is interesting for everyone. How to decorate a house for a wedding? A variety of ideas are welcome - from classic to extravagant.

The most beautiful places for winter wedding ceremonies are, of course, the mountains: a bride in a magnificent dress and a happy groom will look very natural and organic against the backdrop of stunningly beautiful snow-covered landscapes; organizing a wedding in nature will bring real pleasure to everyone. But the terrace of a luxurious mansion at this time of year is not the best option for a long event: open to the winds and bad weather, in winter it can only be used for a beautiful photo shoot.

Wedding in the mountains

Creative people can take advantage of the extraordinary idea of holding a winter wedding in a museum: a combination of business and pleasure, an acquaintance with art and a beautiful celebration of the newlyweds - a very original solution. One has only to take into account that, as in the case of a zoo, holding a holiday in a museum, no matter whether it is classical or modern, has a number of its own limitations. Perhaps, for a fun and noisy company, it is better to choose museum exhibitions with an interesting interactive component .

Where can you hold your wedding reception?

A necessary and basic condition for a successful wedding banquet is not only delicious treats, but also comfort for everyone present . In many ways, the determining factor of the location of the wedding banquet is the seasonality of the celebration, the number of guests and the financial costs that the newlyweds are willing to make. Holding a wedding at home is now a rarity: even for those who do not have large sums of money to celebrate, it will not be a problem to gather in a cozy inexpensive cafe, accept congratulations and gifts, dance and have fun.

Among the original options, we can offer a wedding banquet on the roof - such weddings have long been popular in America and are increasingly practiced in large Russian cities. Specially prepared areas allow the newlyweds and their guests to feel in the lap of nature, away from the bustle of the world, even without leaving the city. With the correct organization of the banquet, romance and sophistication will literally be in the air, and neither tall buildings nor many communication wires will interfere with the beautiful tradition of launching wedding doves or Chinese wishing lanterns.

A large number of respectable guests, people with a significant position in society, in some cases, obliges to hold a wedding banquet in an expensive restaurant or in a villa away from the bustle of the city. In many cases, except for financial investments and the settlement of some details (menu, seating plan for guests, coordination of the entertainment program with the toastmaster), nothing is required from the young couple - such luxury projects are handled by special agencies that will help organize a banquet at the highest level. Even a wedding on a ship is quite possible! At events of this level, it is very appropriate to show off exquisite jewelry, for example, a bracelet or necklace from Sunlight .

Is it possible to have a wedding at a zoo?

Why not? By agreement with the zoo administration and subject to certain conditions, even such a very exotic site can become a venue for a wedding ceremony. Need I say that strict business suits and pretentious evening dresses would simply be inappropriate here? Only suitable clothes, shoes and a cheerful mood! According to the theme, you can choose gifts for the newlyweds - they will be slightly humorous, and congratulations from friends can be played up with a scene in the spirit of a cheerful menagerie.

Not every couple will decide to get married in a zoo: there is no comfort here, the newlyweds and guests will be haunted by a specific smell, and no one has canceled other visitors to the zoo - there will be plenty of people curious about this not very popular event for zoos. But if the desire to celebrate your wedding day in such an extraordinary way has not disappeared and an agreement has been reached with the administration of the menagerie, you should understand that the peace and health of the animals comes first . This means that loud music, fireworks and firecrackers, camera flashes, etc. are excluded.

Country wedding venues

Holding a wedding outside the city is especially popular among residents of large cities and metropolises - fresh air, closeness to nature, a basic change of scenery: the holiday will certainly turn out to be bright and memorable.

If we talk about the financial component, off-site events can cost a pretty penny or be quite budget-friendly. This depends on the category of the country cottage, the number of guests, and the planned events. A wedding at a dacha in a nearby village can significantly save the wedding budget: you can decorate the room yourself, and traditional Russian pickles prepared with your own hands will only decorate the festive table. A picnic on the lawn organized in the warm season can become one of the most vivid impressions of a wedding celebration, and a wedding on the shore and on the beach will be remembered by guests for a long time for its unusualness and beauty.

Expensive country complexes for wedding celebrations will be offered by special agencies : a luxurious menu, thoughtful decoration of the premises, a program of entertainment events - a fantastic turn-key wedding may not be cheap, but without any hassle for the newlyweds and their relatives.

Wedding at Birds Restaurant

Marriage registration in the Birds restaurant of the Oko tower in Moscow City

I’ll say right away that I really like this site, it has panoramic views of the city, a beautiful modern interior and very pleasant staff.

As you already understand, marriage registration here takes place in the interiors of the restaurant, which, by the way, is located on the 84th floor; the view of the city here is truly mesmerizing.

Ceremony hall at Birds

Features of the site:

You need to arrive 10-15 minutes before the scheduled check-in time in order to have time to gather all the guests and go upstairs. There is no point in arriving very early; the administrator downstairs asks what time the ceremony is and asks you to get up 10 minutes before it.
It’s better not to be late for the ceremony. Each couple is allocated 20 minutes; if you’re late, there won’t be time to take a photo after the ceremony in the registration hall, but it’s beautiful.
You can take photos in the restaurant’s interiors both before and after the ceremony; no one is rushing you or throwing you out. The restaurant itself is quite large, there are several beautiful places where you can take great shots, on average, after painting, my couple and I spend another 30-40 minutes here.
If you are planning a photo shoot in Birds interiors, it is better to register before 16.00. The fact is that in the evening the restaurant opens to visitors, after 16:00 there are already a lot of waiters in the hall who are preparing the interior for the opening, they will interfere with the shot.

Beautiful locations for a photo shoot in Birds

Where do I recommend taking photos?

As I already said, no one is in a hurry here and there is no time limit, so you can film a whole story: the guys met, went up to the registration hall, signed their names and sat at the table.

Right at the entrance to the restaurant there will be a staircase next to the bar counter, this is where you can film the meeting of the bride and groom
There are several swings in the main hall, you can also take several shots here, if you shoot a little from the side, at a wide angle, the view of the city will also be included in the frame
The staircase to the registration hall is also worthy of attention; the wall in the background is decorated with wooden rosettes with interesting lighting
The painting hall itself has a very unusual interior, so if you have time it’s worth taking a couple of shots here

Swings and windows with a panoramic view of the city
But I don’t recommend going up to the helipad, there is not enough space there, the view is rather monotonous, and it is also very windy, the bride’s hair may suffer.

Marriage registration in Spiridonov's mansion on Maly Gnezdikovsky Lane

The main staircase in the Spiridonov mansion
Another beautiful site not only for the ceremony, but also for a photo shoot is the Spiridonov mansion; from the name it is clear that this is an ancient building, and the interior here is appropriate.

Exchange of rings during registration

How is the wedding ceremony in the Spiridonov mansion?

As with the previous site, you don’t need to come here much in advance; 10-15 minutes is enough. If you arrive very early, they simply won’t let you in, at least while quarantine measures are in effect.

When both the couple and the guests are there, you can go into the hall, it is large and bright with a staircase, where the administrator will meet you and take your passports.

Photo spot in the mansion's waiting room

While the documents are being prepared, the couple and guests wait in a spacious, bright hall, where you can also take photographs. The hall has a large golden press wall and many living plants. The hall itself is spacious and bright, but there are hangers and benches for guests, so in general the view is not presentable, this is, of course, a big minus.

Registration ceremony

When the documents are ready, the couple and the guests are asked to go up to the second floor to the ceremony hall. By the way, the staircase itself is very beautiful, you definitely need to take a couple of photos there.

Registration takes place in a large white hall with contrasting black window frames, the hall is decorated with two vintage mirrors, there are chairs for guests, there is room for everyone. The guys sign and exchange rings at a small white table.

After the ceremony, you can take a few more photos on the stairs and in the hall, by the way, there is a window on the stairs, which allows you to take shots with natural light.

In general, the site is quite beautiful, but it is worth considering that there are few locations for photos here. But the mansion itself is located in the historical center, so you can take some beautiful shots against the backdrop of ancient facades and the city.

Marriage registration at the Gusyatnikoff restaurant

Photo session in the interiors of the Gusyatnikov restaurant This restaurant is located in the center, there is a beautiful palace interior, but I’ll immediately make a reservation that there are very few places for photographs. In fact, you can take a couple of shots on the stairs and in the hall itself where the ceremony is taking place.

Hall for the wedding ceremony
You will not be allowed to wander around the restaurant for a long time, since there is not much space for photographs here, you will only have a few minutes for a photo, and then there will be another couple. In this regard, the site is not the best, because if you are a little late for your time, there will be almost no time left for shooting.

Exchange of rings at a wedding

Marriage registration here takes place in a large white hall with an attic floor. The main decoration of the hall is a large chandelier, there are chairs for guests, everyone can sit comfortably.

One of the downsides, in my opinion, is the mirror wall, next to which the guys exchange rings; the photographer will always be reflected there; in order to take shots without reflection, you will have to stand a little at an angle.

Marriage registration at the Safisa celebration house

Wedding in Safis
The Safis Celebration House is a popular place for luxurious, expensive weddings, and now marriage registrations are also held here. The overall impression of this restaurant is good; as a ceremony site, it is quite suitable if you are planning a wedding in a classic style.

The restaurant itself is a large two-story mansion, the interior is designed in white and gold tones with high ceilings and stucco. A certain time is allocated for each couple here, so do not be late for the selected registration time, it is better to arrive a little earlier.

Ceremonial painting in Safis

By the way, there is a small park to the right of the restaurant. If you arrive too early, you can take photos in nature so as not to waste time.

Couples are allowed inside one by one, this is good, since there are no crowds of foreign guests in the hall, as is the case in registry offices. On the ground floor there is a dressing room, a hall and a staircase. While the documents are being prepared, you can take photographs with the guests and with the couple against the background of the stairs. The administrator warns that you have only 10 minutes to shoot in this room before the ceremony, after which you will no longer be able to understand here, since the next couple will arrive.

Ceremony hall interior

Everything is technical here: you go into the hall, wait for documents, at this time a ceremony is taking place on the second floor, then the previous couple goes down, and you go up, at this time the next couple after you goes into the hall. I must say that coordination works well here, you don’t interfere with other weddings, no one bothers you to take photos.

Marriage registration in Safis takes place in a large banquet hall on the second floor, which is also decorated in white and gold tones. The host and the newlyweds stand on the stage, the guests sit on chairs. After the ceremony, there is another 10 minutes for a photo shoot in the interiors of the hall.

Marriage registration at the Muravyov-Apostolov estate

Interior of the Muravyov-Apostolov estate
This estate is located in the center of the capital and is a two-story mansion with a small courtyard, there is a small parking lot in it, you can go there, provided that you do not have a limousine (it simply will not fit through the gate). Theoretically, you can take photos in the courtyard, but it can get quite crowded if the date is popular or there is simply a wedding with many guests.

Also keep in mind that not the entire mansion is open to the public, but only 2 rooms and a hall. As soon as you enter inside, you find yourself on a small staircase. There is quite an interesting decor on the walls, so I recommend taking a couple of shots on the stairs.

Waiting room in the estate

Next, in the hall, they take your passports and invite you to wait in the pink living room, it is quite bright and spacious, here you can take photos with the guests, or with the newlyweds together. There is not much waiting time here, only 10 minutes.

The wedding ceremony itself takes place in a bright ballroom; it is not very large, so the mansion has a limit of no more than 20 people, including the couple and the film crew. The bride and groom sign their names at the table and exchange rings at a small wooden counter.

Hall for the ceremony

After painting, you can take another photo with all the guests in this room, and then that’s it, you will be asked to leave. Here, like at many sites, there are time restrictions, but this is due to the fact that there is really not much space here; if you stay longer, you will simply interfere with the next couple.

Marriage registration at the Royal Mansion

Interior of the Royal Mansion
I also really liked this location; I can say that this is one of the most successful options on the list of “new addresses of happiness.” Why? Yes, because the Royal mansion is one of the best photographic studios in the capital, yes, it is an old mansion, but it has been completely restored and equipped as a photographic studio. The spaces here are thought out and decorated precisely from the point of view of photographs, which is undoubtedly a huge plus.

The moment of exchanging rings

There are large windows and a lot of natural light, which is also a plus for successful photographs.

Another plus of the location is that the entire mansion is open for photos, that is, not 1-2 halls, but the entire space. Thus, you can conduct a whole mini-photo shoot here. The staff are very friendly, they don’t rush you or kick you out after the ceremony, if you don’t interfere with another wedding, you can calmly move around the halls and take pictures.

Courtyard of the Royal Mansion

The mansion also has a small courtyard where you can take photos. There is an interesting photo zone in the courtyard, and the façade of the mansion is a very good backdrop for wedding photos.
