When you think of Airbnb in the context of planning a wedding, your mind likely jumps to a honeymoon oasis in the heart of a faraway destination. What you probably haven't considered, though, is that that oasis can be home to infinitely more than your first married trip—believe it or not, there are Airbnbs out there that are rentable as actual wedding venues. For many couples, this is a major game changer, especially for those who thought planning a destination wedding was a bit too far beyond their price range.

We're here to tell you that your dream celebration is far more attainable than you thought. With a plethora of locations—both domestic and abroad!—Airbnb is a viable venue option for just about any couple in any part of the country. And if you thought that bypassing a standard venue option, like a banquet hall or public space that frequently hosts wedding, means skimping on amenities, think again. The following Airbnbs are all equipped to handle your celebration, whatever its size. The best part? The majority of these options allow you and your guests to celebrate and stay at the residence, which ultimately makes for a more festive (and affordable) wedding weekend. The only essential note? Before you book an Airbnb for your big day, make sure the hosts allow on-site events.

Though size is obviously the top priority when choosing a wedding venue (Airbnb types, included!), style is obviously important, as well. That's why the pros at the rental site helped us curate a diverse list of location styles, from mountain lodges and feminine gardens to beach oases and wine country retreats. Ahead, a complete guide to Airbnb wedding venues, both foreign and domestic. Click through to discover if there's a location here that fits your vision for your big day.
