Low-key ceremonies and destination weddings have become increasingly popular since 2020—DIY weddings, micro-weddings, and elopements included. And since destination weddings are more manageable when they’re on the intimate side, Airbnb wedding venues can make for a great place to tie the knot.

It's not shocking that smaller big days are here to stay. Small-scale weddings are more affordable and allow couples to celebrate with a select set of their closest people, and while there are plenty of large hotels, resorts, and more traditional venues to choose from, a handful of intimate Airbnb properties are also bookable, often for a much lower cost—making a wedding more financially accessible than you might have thought. Getting hitched at an Airbnb is like getting married at your own house, but better.

As a platform, Airbnb's primary purpose is booking stays rather than events—so it's 100 percent necessary to communicate your plans for a ceremony with the host before booking, and some hosts on this list charge a separate fee for a wedding package. (Be sure as well to check local laws and ordinances, ensuring you have an event permit if one is required by law.) Now that the technical stuff is out of the way: Without further delay, read on to discover our favorite Airbnb wedding venues.

We've vetted these listings based on Superhost status, ratings, amenities, location, previous guest reviews, and decor. This gallery has been updated with new information since its original publish date.

    Ferndale, California

    This chic converted barn is high on charm and short on waste, with upcycled furnishings and a thriving atrium garden in the back. Situated steps away from hiking trails and a burbling creek, it’s our pick for nature-loving couples. Petite wedding packages are available online, and the all-inclusive offerings cover services such as event planning, atrium rental, flowers, a custom cake, a three-course menu of seasonal locally-sourced food, photography, and more. Plus, the town of Ferndale, where this unique space is situated, is the perfect backdrop for a wedding weekend: Think live music, down-home coffee shops, horse-racing at the Humboldt County Fair, and a wetland wildlife refuge.

    Montevarchi, Italy

    This Tuscan stone farmhouse is a half-hour train ride from Florence and is not unlike stepping into the lush villa from the set of Call Me By Your Name. Circled by sculptures, centuries-old oaks, three private pools, olive groves, and meadows, this dreamy old house is full of romance, and one of our absolute favorite Airbnb wedding venues. It’s not an impractical option, either—the greater estate can sleep 26 guests and has a stone amphitheater that feels like it's custom-made for ceremonies.

    Torno, Italy

    We have no choice but to represent Italy not once but twice on this list, this time with a villa right on Lake Como. This private venue with sprawling, glassy lake views will make for some Vogue Weddings–status photographs. This is an ideal micro-wedding venue since the house sleeps eight people and the venue where you'd host the event can hold up to 20 guests on site. (Bonus: The hosts recently installed a brand new stone pool.) Note the four-night minimum.

    Chicago, Illinois

    This gussied-up, glam, sunlit Chicago loft was formerly a factory, but today is the site of weddings, pop-ups, art openings, reunions, splashy dinner parties, and photo shoots. It's one of our top picks for a city wedding. Skylights deck the ceiling and 26-foot timber beams cut across it, making it feel even larger and airier than it already is. (The loft has enough beds to sleep 14, plus two large couches and additional air mattresses, and is 5,307-by-2000 square feet.) A super spacious gourmet kitchen with state-of-the-art equipment is one of LOFT606's best assets for weddings—as is the full bar, garden patio, rooftop deck, and hot tub, though. Quotes for events are individual and contingent on the number of guests and responses to other questions about the affair that must be answered before booking. Key services offered on request include a private chef, bartender, and even spa services.

Plus, up to 16 guests can stay on property, split between the main cabin and five cabins that come with booking the ranch.

    East Point, Georgia

    Consummating your marriage is cool… but have you ever tried getting wed in a 400-year-old tree? Didn’t think so. (And if you have, go off.) This one-bedroom oak treehouse will certainly not sleep your whole wedding party, but its hosts own a community of five other tiny homes around the property that can accommodate up to 15 additional guests, plus share amenities such as a hot tub, grill, a koi pond, and an outdoor shower.

    New Orleans, Louisiana

    Perfectly sized for a mico-wedding, this eight-bedroom NOLA mansion sleeps 16. Dating back to the 1880s, it has a swimming pool and an 18-seat dining room table. Located about a mile-and-a-half from the French Quarter, hitting the bars after the reception couldn’t be easier—and this is what makes this mansion the perfect venue for couples who want to keep the party going into the night.
