The Best Locations for a Rustic Wedding

Some couples dream of having a traditional wedding in a church. Others search for luxury at a banquet hall or plan a destination wedding in a gorgeous country they've always wanted to visit. But there's nothing quite like a rustic ceremony when it comes to pure romance.

Rustic weddings are always fun, with charming details, age-old traditions, and modern additions. Barns, ranches, lake houses, and cabins highlight natural beauty and are focused on making lasting memories! The appeal is in their homely feel and flexibility to host minimalistic, elegant, and grand celebrations.

Giggster can help you find the perfect location to plan your dream wedding day. Prepare for a special occasion with natural textures, wood elements, wildflowers, and charming little details like handmade bouquets. Explore our rustic wedding venues from the South Shore near Cape Cod to the bay of San Francisco and everywhere in between.

Choosing the Right Type of Location for a Rustic Wedding

Although a farm, log cabin, or flower field is a great choice, other unique venues suit the theme. Giggster can help you find rustic wedding venues in New York, other American cities, and global locations.

Vintage Buildings and Homes – Vintage Weddings. Step back in time for your wedding by choosing a century-old stone house, Victorian manor, or even a historic hotel for your special day. These settings can highlight an elegant theme and favor intimate celebrations.

Wineries – Elegant Celebrations. Imagine hosting your rehearsal dinner in a winery or having your ceremony among the vines. Wineries are lovely wedding venues, and the vineyard is a beautiful photoshoot backdrop.

Farms and Ranches – Grand Celebrations. The wood details and worn-out aesthetic make barn and farm settings classic examples of rustic locations. Aside from perfectly suiting the theme, these venues are suitable for outdoor weddings and offer access to an indoor space.

Cottages and Lake Houses – Incorporating Natural Beauty. Can you picture having your ceremony by a lake and your wedding reception in the comfort of a wood lodge surrounded by nature? A cottage offers the comfort of a homely feel and the privacy you need for your special day.

Industrial Lofts and Warehouses – Spacious with Great Decorating Potential. If you need an indoor venue, try a two-story loft or industrial warehouse with brick walls that you can really make your own. These spaces have fantastic potential, which you can bring to life with strategic decorations and lighting setups.

Essentials for a Wedding Location

Avoid falling in love with a wedding venue before ensuring it ticks all the boxes. Double-check that your venue meets these criteria before securing the space.

Does it suit the season? Of course, the venue will have different requirements depending on whether you're getting married during summer or winter. Most wedding venues will need a tent for shelter from the harsh summer sun and heat, and winter weddings are best planned in indoor venues that'll keep your guests warm and dry.

Choose a venue that goes with the theme. You probably wouldn't choose a brand-new modern home or extravagant banquet hall. Look for venues with wood detailing, charming imperfections, neutral colors, and touches of nature for a rustic vibe.

Is it big enough? Before choosing the venue, you should know how many guests you'll invite. Check that the location has enough room to accommodate everyone, from planning the seating arrangements to ensuring enough bathrooms and facilities.

Planning Your Rustic Wedding

Planning a wedding is no easy task, and it's easy to overlook something. Whether you've hired a wedding planner or are choosing everything together as a couple, this rough guide should help you complete several actions.

Come up with a Guest List – You already know you want a rustic theme, so now you need to narrow down your list of invitees. Knowing how many people will be there is essential in deciding your venue, catering, and more.

Choose the Perfect Venue – Once you've determined the number of guests and considered their plus-ones, search for a venue. Make sure it can accommodate all your guests and has a suitable layout, and decide where on the land you want to have the ceremony and reception.

Plan Decorations – Get vintage-style decor inspiration and start picturing how you want your special day to look. Picking wildflowers, blending them with regular flowers, making DIY signs and centerpieces, and incorporating used items like mason jars, old books, and natural elements like wood and stone are wonderful ways to make your rustic venue look incredible.

Don't Forget Vendors – You'll want to find a photographer who can capture rustic charm on camera so you can appreciate the work you've put into planning the event for years to come. Consider hiring a live band for background music and caterers to serve drinks during cocktail hour and meals during the reception.

Wedding Expenses to Plan For

A well-structured budget is essential for planning a wedding, as it's easy to spend more than you planned. The same venue will cost less in the winter months, or keeping it blocked in another city will cost less than in New York. Aside from the obvious expenses, keep these costs in mind.

What food are you serving?

Depending on the number of guests you invite, hiring catering will be more costly than having a buffet. Be sure to budget enough to serve food, wine, and wedding cake to everybody attending.

Are you buying decorations?

Decorations can make a space feel magical, but the more you decorate, the higher the cost. Consider taking a DIY approach by creating your decorations with used or recycled materials.

How about lighting and sound equipment?

Try finding a venue with nice natural lighting for your wedding photos. Remember to set up small fairy lights, candles, or rustic lanterns so you're not left in the dark after sunset. Also, bring speakers and a mic for speeches and music.
