Whether you’re looking to exchange “I do’s” close to home or take this celebration on the road, an Airbnb wedding venue may be just what you’re looking for. From tiny houses fit for cozy elopements to large, jaw-dropping mansions and everything in between—Airbnb has something fit for every couple, no matter the wedding size.

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.

Tips for Booking the Best Airbnb Wedding Venue

• Always, always, always contact the 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
• 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 (i.e. moving furniture to make space for your living room ceremony, etc)
• 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.
