These 13 Bed-and-Breakfast Wedding Venues Are Nothing Short of Charming
Say "I do" at one of these oh-so-cozy bed-and-breakfast wedding venues across the US.
Thanks to their homey feel, welcoming atmosphere and intimate ambiance, bed-and-breakfasts (or B&Bs for short) exude coziness in every sense. As such, they also double as incredible wedding venues, especially for couples seeking a charming place to say "I do" flanked by family and friends looking to stay on-site. Looking for the best bed-and-breakfast wedding venues? We've got you covered with our top picks below that 1) can accommodate nuptials of all sizes and 2) are suitable for every budget and style. As a bonus, most of the top B&B wedding venues featured in this list include stunning grounds, ample event spaces and rustic-chic rooms and suites that combine modern amenities with timeless charm. In terms of size, some are super-small, while others offer sprawling grounds and 50-plus different accommodations, the latter of which, you guessed it, is ideal for larger celebrations. It goes without saying, but when choosing the best bed-and-breakfast wedding venues, consider how many people will be attending your wedding and ensure the property has enough space to accommodate everyone. Also, while some inns and B&Bs offer both indoor and outdoor event spaces, some only offer one or the other. In this case, consider which type of space you're looking for and what to do in the event of inclement weather (for example, if you are planning an outdoor wedding and it happens to rain or snow on your wedding day, does the venue have a tented space or backup indoor space? It's always a good idea to have a backup plan!)
