Budget-Friendly Wedding Venues For History Buffs

Barn

Having your wedding at a historic barn is the perfect mix of indoor and outdoor settings. When you're looking for a rustic feel, it's a great way to go and many are affordable options. Take the Webb Barn in Connecticut, for example, which charges $3,000 for a four-hour wedding on Saturdays.

Community Center

The great thing about historic community centers is that they're used to dealing with large events and most of the wedding fees go to a good cause. Book a place like The Union Project in Pittsburgh, and pay just $500 for a five-hour rental in a large hall.

Home

Many historic homes are almost mansion-like and often well kept — yet there's still something about them that feels so intimate. Check out abodes like the Long Branch Historic Home and Farm in Virginia, which charges $2,750 for a wedding with up to 50 people, and save money on the venue.

Athletic Club

Historic athletic clubs are a great wedding venue option because they often provide all the amenities you can think of. Many are reasonably priced, too. Consider the Los Angeles Athletic Club, which, according to Here Comes the Guide, charges a $4,000 fee depending on your package, plus $98 per person.

City Hall

Who says you can't have a grand wedding at city hall? Many just look historic by nature and are often full of detail. Rest easy knowing you're saving on the big day, too. Getting married at San Francisco City Hall, for instance, rings in at $4,000 for a two-hour wedding package that caters to up to 200 guests.

Inn

Inns are usually so lovely and quaint to begin with — find one that's rich in history, and we think it's the perfect setting for a wedding. Take a place like the Mission Inn and Spa in Riverside, CA. It boasts stunning architecture, the place dates back to 1876, and — perhaps best of all — it offers packages that start at $1,600.
