For Wedding Pros
If you’re looking for something a little more non-traditional, an Airbnb or VRBO might be a perfect fit. Choosing an Airbnb or VRBO wedding venue is a great way to save money, have more flexibility with the amount of time you have the space, and you can find them no matter where you’re getting married. This is what we did for our wedding and it was amazing (and it’s my favorite way to have a backyard wedding even if your backyard isn't ideal).
Airbnbs and VRBOs make perfect wedding venues because you can rent them for multiple days and have a place for all your guests to gather in days before and after the wedding, perfect for a wedding weekend or a destination wedding.
It’s worth noting that I include VRBOs because they’re much more lenient on events. Airbnbs are perfect for super intimate weddings and elopements, but in almost every case your guest list cannot exceed the capacity of the house. No matter what, always be sure to check in with the host before booking – not everyone is comfortable with weddings happening on their property. I use the term “Airbnb wedding” throughout the website because it’s just how people refer to private home rentals these days!
Here are a few Airbnb wedding venues in Florida you might consider (with links so you can check them out!). And if you don’t find what you’re looking for here, be sure to check out our guide on how to find an Airbnb or VRBO wedding venue.
