Art Gallery
Some Art Galleries are large enough to double as venue areas. If you have very eclectic tastes and enjoy modern art, this is a unique option. I've seen it done just a couple times, generally with a more modern overall theme attached to it. Just be careful that your guests are well behaved!
Cabin
My sweetie and I are travelling to the mountains over New Years for a little romantic getaway. Many of the cabin rentals I looked at also had options for small weddings, and sometimes bigger ones. If you are looking to have a small intimate wedding, some of these rentals could be perfect! It may mean travelling for more of your guests though.
Botanical Garden
In a past season of my life, I worked at a botanical garden and had the opportunity to experience several weddings hosted on the premises. Beautiful pictures are almost guaranteed! Botanical Gardens will often have wedding packages that you can choose from. You might warn guests up from if they have allergies, and try to choose a spot that has a good balance of flowers that is not overwhelming. You want the focus to be you, not the flowers.
Hotel
Hotels are often used as event spaces as well. The upside to this is that hotel staff have plenty of experience in orchestrating large events. In order to make the space special, expect to spend a little bit more on the decorations to make it feel less like a hotel.
Please add your ideas to the comments! Look for part 3 coming soon :)
