Are you a couple looking for a venue as unique as your love story? Well, we got you. 

We've rounded up some special, off-the-beaten-path wedding venues, whether it's for a low-key elopement in nature or a quirky space that speaks to your and your partner's artsy side. These spots will surely give you and your guests a wedding to remember. 

1. Lost Books - Montrose, California

We all have that couple in our lives who’s always knee-deep in a book, or maybe you're that couple...

Lost Books is the sister shop to “The Last Bookstore” in DTLA (famous for its book tunnel archway). Lost Books is a “nature-inspired” bookstore with greenery throughout the space. Picture you and your partner saying "I do" surrounded by some of your favorite reads, a great selection of vinyls, and plants. 

2. Loretto Chapel - Santa Fe, New Mexico

What is not to love about the Loretto Chapel? The spiral staircase is jaw-dropping and features two 360-degree turns. (Imagine photos of you in your gown on those stairs!) Legend says it was built without nails, oooooh mysterious…
Its Gothic Revival arches, beautiful stained glass windows, and a sense of soaring height really set this chapel apart as an architectural gem in New Mexico. In a prime location near the Santa Fe Plaza,  it makes it a great place to host your “out of town” guests. 

3. Yosemite National Park - California

This is for the adventurous couple! Yosemite National Park has MANY elopement-worthy spots, but if you're the type that can see yourself hiking a mile up to the top of a cliff on your wedding day, then Taft Point is for you.

It has an insane view of El Capitan, and whether you pick a sunrise or sunset moment, you’ll feel on top of the world. National Parks do require specific permits; make sure to check their website

4. The Velaslavasay Panorama - Los Angeles, California

This is a hidden gem in Los Angeles. Formerly known as “Union Theatre,” this venue holds so much historical significance. It serves as an exhibition hall, garden, and theatre.

Stepping into this place is like stepping onto an old movie set - the perfect spot for two artsy cinephiles. The gazebo in the garden area is stunning and perfect for exchanging your vows.

5. TreeHouse Point - Issaquah, Washington

This is a family-owned and operated establishment, and with that you have a space where all the details matter.

TreeHouse Point offers a fairytale backdrop nestled in the heart of the Pacific Northwest woods. It invites you and your guests to unplug and be one with nature. After saying “I do,” you and 18 guests can stay in their cozy treehouses and leave feeling recharged. It's giving Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, but dare I say, better?
