If you are planning a wedding and think offbeat suggestions for venues you’ve run into have been weird thus far, the latest in quirky news may amuse you: “Empty office buildings in the D.C. area are hoping to find new life as wedding venues,” writes journalist Anna Spiegel. She interviewed a developer in the District who plans to pursue this avenue, but visions of walking down an aisle created by moving desks, wall panels, and office machines is likely to be a big turnoff.
Perhaps you’re thinking creatively after concluding that you two have no interest in a huge affair that hosts hundreds and costs a bundle. Why not follow the destination wedding trend? Research and Markets just published 2024 findings that show destination weddings are taking place at an annual growth rate of 32% and that number is expected to stay strong at least until 2028.
The benefits of a destination wedding include these and more:
- Your guest list will be small, so you’ll experience minimal family drama!
- Destination weddings are stress-free affairs and very cost-effective
- You can take a more sustainable approach to celebrating your big day
- Your event can be held any month if you pick the right destination
- You get to control every aspect of your celebration.
