Wedding Venues in the USA

If the idea of an American wedding appeals or if you’re just curious, why not take a look at our new US site? As of a few weeks ago, WeddingVenues.com doesn’t just cover venues in Britain (well Britain plus Jersey at the moment). We now have a site displayinging on wedding venues in the USA.

It’s early days so we don’t have hundreds and hundreds of venues we have in the UK but we do have some nice ones. The Crew’s Nest was built a hundred years ago by a Lake Erie steamboat captain. It’s tucked away on South Bass Island but within striking distance of Cleveland and Detroit. If you are trekking all the way to the US to get married, it’s a fair bet you’d honeymooning there too. South Bass Island is known as the “Key West of southern Lake Erie”, so maybe a touch of the Hemingways…. Could make a pretty good base for exploring the Great Lakes.

For something more cosmopolitan, how about Daniel in New York City? The New York Times no less, describes the contemporary French cuisine as “gloriously wanton in its luxuriousness”, the service so charming as to be sorcery and the Upper East Side restaurant itself as “genuinely gorgeous”. Now, New York doesn’t need any selling as a honeymoon destination. The names themselves are just so evocative; the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, Broadway, Macy’s, Times Square, Harlem, you name it.

The elegant Palais Royale in South Bend, Indiana hails was built in the 1920s and oozes history. The ballroom was once graced by the greats of the big band era; Glen Miller, Duke Ellington, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey and Cab Calloway. How about Moonlight Serenade for the first dance? Or, er Minnie the Moocher?

On a more intimate scale is the Beechwood Hotel in Worcester, Massachusetts. This boutique hotel is a place of old world charm, with a Victorian chapel and lots of dark wood. The Grand Ballroom though has cathedral ceilings and French doors opening onto a red brick patio and lush landscaped gardens. And if you’re planning your wedding for next Fall, then rambling and leaf peeping through New England’s hills and forests would make a lovely honeymoon.

Over the coming weeks and months we’ll be building up the number of venues on the US site and who knows, maybe we’ll tackle another country one day. There are many, many, wonderful wedding venues out there.
