If you’ve ever dreamed of saying “I do” under the stars at a vineyard retreat, or dancing the night away in a modern loft surrounded by your closest friends, WedBnB is here to make those dreams come true. Planning a wedding at an Airbnb-style property doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With WedBNB’s curated collection of event-ready properties and a straightforward process, you can create a celebration that’s as unique as your love story. Here’s how it works:
Enchanting Airbnb-style wedding venues are perfect for intimate weddings, featuring stunning landscapes, elegant decor, and romantic settings for a memorable celebration.
Step 1: Pick Your Property
Finding the right venue is the foundation of your wedding day. WedBnB offers a handpicked selection of stunning properties tailored specifically for weddings, making it easier than ever to find a location that matches your vision.
Explore Unique Spaces
From rustic barns perfect for boho-chic ceremonies to sleek modern villas overlooking the ocean, WedBnB’s collection spans a wide variety of styles. For example, imagine a forest retreat with cozy cabins for your guests or a sprawling estate with a pool and mountain views—each property is designed to wow. Each venue offers an unparalleled backdrop that ensures your wedding is anything but ordinary.
Did You Know?
At WedBnB, we continuously update our property listings to feature new, one-of-a-kind locations. Be sure to check back often to find the perfect venue for your special day.
Details Matter
Every WedBnB property includes overnight accommodations as part of the booking. These spaces double as event venues and guest lodgings, offering charming bedrooms, versatile gathering areas, and outdoor spaces for ceremonies and receptions. Key details like guest capacity, amenities, and parking information are clearly listed to help you make informed decisions.
Act Fast
Properties are booked on a first-come, first-served basis, and reservations are confirmed with a 50% deposit. With many locations requiring a 2–3 night minimum stay, your wedding can easily turn into an extended celebration. Use this opportunity to create a weekend experience your guests will talk about for years.
Actionable Insight
Use WedBnB’s pricing calculator on each property page to estimate costs and customize your experience. This tool helps you plan with confidence and ensures no surprises down the road.
Step 2: Secure Your Vendors
One of the biggest perks of a WedBnB wedding is the flexibility to hire vendors who align with your vision. Whether you’re dreaming of gourmet food trucks, lush floral arrangements, or a string quartet by the lake, the choice is yours.
Bring Your Dream Team
WedBnB allows you to bring your own licensed and insured vendors, ensuring that you have the freedom to personalize every detail of your day. This means you can have your favorite local baker whip up a custom dessert table or hire a caterer who specializes in your favorite cuisine.
Preferred Vendor Network
Not sure where to start? WedBnB’s list of trusted local vendors is here to help. These professionals are familiar with the properties and can navigate the unique logistics of non-traditional venues with ease. For instance, a preferred caterer might already know how to work with the limited kitchen space at a historic farmhouse venue.
Concierge Services
For couples who want extra support, WedBnB offers an optional elopement concierge service. This team can coordinate vendors, timelines, and logistics, making your planning process as seamless as possible. Imagine the relief of having someone else handle the finer details while you focus on enjoying your engagement.
Actionable Insight
Before booking vendors, check your property’s specific rules regarding noise restrictions, setup times, or preferred lists. Clear communication ensures a smooth experience for everyone involved.
Pro Tip
Always reference the WedBnB host guidelines on your chosen property’s listing page. This helps you and your vendors align on setup and teardown protocols, ensuring your wedding day goes off without a hitch.
Step 3: Enjoy Versatile Accommodations
Unlike traditional venues, every WedBnB property includes overnight accommodations for your closest guests. This unique feature creates an intimate atmosphere and extends the celebration beyond a single evening.
On-Site Stays
Each property offers overnight accommodations, perfect for hosting family and the wedding party. For example, a lakeside estate might include charming guest rooms and cozy cabins for everyone to unwind. Welcome baskets with snacks, local treats, or mini first-aid kits can make their stay even more memorable. A handwritten note from the couple adds a personal touch.
Nearby Lodging
If your guest list exceeds the property’s capacity, WedBnB helps you curate a list of nearby hotels, additional Airbnbs, or charming bed-and-breakfasts. For added convenience, consider reserving a block of hotel rooms or arranging group rates. Your guests will appreciate having everything organized and stress-free.
Transportation
For properties in remote locations, transportation can simplify logistics. Imagine a vintage trolley shuttling guests from a nearby hotel to your mountaintop ceremony. It’s practical and adds a fun, whimsical touch. This not only makes your guests’ experience smoother but also elevates the overall charm of the day.
Actionable Insight
Share a detailed accommodations guide with your guests well in advance. Include check-in and checkout times, parking details, and local recommendations to ensure everyone has a stress-free experience.
WedBnB Tip
Many of our properties at WedBnB include additional perks like hot tubs, fire pits, or lakeside docks. Take advantage of these features to plan fun pre- or post-wedding activities for your friends and family.
Step 4: Create Your Perfect Celebration
Once you’ve secured your property and vendors, it’s time to bring your vision to life. WedBnB properties are designed to be blank canvases, ready for your creativity.
Flexible Event Spaces
Whether it’s a rehearsal dinner under the stars or a next-day brunch by the pool, WedBnB properties provide the versatility to host multiple gatherings. For instance, a vineyard estate might offer a stunning outdoor ceremony space, a patio for cocktail hour, and an indoor reception area. You have the freedom to transform each space to reflect your personality and love story.
Quiet Hours
Each property has designated quiet hours to respect neighbors and maintain harmony. Be sure to check these details during your planning process to avoid surprises. While it may sound restrictive, these guidelines often inspire creative ways to keep the celebration going—like an afterparty around a fire pit.
Event Insurance
To protect your event, WedBnB requires event insurance for all bookings. This straightforward step ensures your celebration is covered for unforeseen incidents, ensuring liability coverage, protection against damages, and overall peace of mind for your big day.
Actionable Insight
Whether you're a DIY bride or working with a day-of coordinator, you'll have all the information you need to create a detailed timeline for setup, celebration, and cleanup. Sharing this plan with vendors ensures everything runs smoothly.
Extra WedBnB Bonus
Planning a multi-day celebration? Utilize the property’s different areas to host activities like a welcome BBQ or a morning yoga session by the pool. With WedBnB, you’re free to design an unforgettable wedding weekend that goes beyond the main event.
