- Castles are not only large, but they come with ballrooms that are already decorated. This means you won't have to spend as much time planning for decorations. If you have a large guest list, a ballroom inside a castle should be large enough to accommodate it. For an additional unique touch, consider planning your wedding with a Renaissance or medieval theme.
- An academy offers spacious ballrooms, but they aren't typically decorated. An advantage to having a ballroom that's not decorated is that you will be able to plan your décor specifically to your taste. Depending on the academy's size, there may be multiple ballrooms at the facility, so you can generally choose which one you like best. You also can rent more than one, with one for your wedding ceremony and another for your reception.
- If you have many guests flying in for your wedding, it's to your advantage to hold your wedding at a hotel that has a ballroom. Guests can stay on site, which will make it easier for them to show up on time, and you will be less worried about guests making it to their hotel safely. Hotel ballrooms come in various sizes and décor. Make sure to verify how many people the facility can accommodate.
- Many historical sites rent their ballrooms to the public for small weddings and events. The facilities are usually small and cannot accommodate large crowds. They also have strict rules about fire and alcohol. If you are planning a small, conservative wedding with close friends and family, a historical site might be what you are looking for. The ballroom will be historically accurate, which will give your wedding a special touch. Historical sites are usually nonprofit, and they rent out their space to raise money for operating costs and research. The rental fees are usually low; some request a monetary donation, while others ask only for a deposit.
