As the active time of wedding planning begins, couples think more and more about how to surprise themselves, their guests and undeniably often also society and social network followers in general. The desire to surprise is self-explanatory, because there is only one wedding day after all. One way to impress is to have a wedding ceremony or celebrations in non-traditional places, or where no one has been married yet and which would not be the first place that would come to mind when thinking about a wedding. After all, the brave own the world!
But what do we ultimately mean by the words "non-traditional wedding ceremony and places of celebration”? To the greatest extent, they are atypical places - those that are intended for everyday use by others, not for celebrations purposes, or are not "populated" at all.

For example, historic and uninhabited hangars, a zoo, some deer farm, even shop - the most important thing is that the chosen place has its own story and significance in the overall theme of the wedding.
For example, who said that a sports club is not suitable for wedding celebrations? There is! Today, gyms (especially CrossFit open-type gyms) are modern, spacious, often with large windows and lots of light - an ideal place for wedding celebrations.
If the couple is sporty and met right there, it will be a great place to celebrate your wedding by turning it into beyond recognition.

When organizing a wedding, you must be able to think outside the usual framework. For example, when traveling we tend to use Airbnb housing rental service, so why not do it for wedding celebrations as well? If you have found your dream home or property on this website right here in Latvia or elsewhere in the world, so why not celebrate it there as well your wedding?

If the couple's first date was at the cinema and their love for good cinema is almost the same as big as each other, then the cinema can become a suitable place for both the wedding ceremony and the celebration.
There is no shortage of good cinemas in Latvia, and one of the most excellent ones is for weddings the most suitable for its visual splendor is definitely Splendid Palace.

For those couples who spend every free minute reading books, marriage would suit them ceremony in the library - symbolic and magnificent. It turns out that it doesn't just happen in the movies when Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the big city had decided to get married right there, but there are also couples right here in Latvia who words must have been said in the house where books live.



Music can also be added to non-traditional places for wedding ceremonies and celebrations festivals, planetarium, national parks, various cafes and coffee shops, roof terraces, universities, railway stations (or railway museums) and even city markets.
Wedding organizer Inga Bērziņa / bannté indicates that in order to find the right place for a wedding ceremony or celebration, the couple must answer the question why they want to celebrate the wedding in a place that is different from the places usually suitable and intended for weddings. "It must be understood whether it is the theme of the wedding or the idea of a particular activity, an association with something that symbolizes your love story or any other reason?

After such evaluation and prioritization, it should be clearer an idea of what the atmosphere and mood should be in this place. Choosing to celebrate a wedding in an atypical celebration places, I would recommend to be able to count and be able to accept the casual visual appearance of the room, complementing it with a celebration mood, rather than choosing a different room and planning to mask or hide something in it," advises Inga.


Linda and Rihards wanted to celebrate their wedding in a place that brought them together, namely at the airport, precisely because of this, the airBaltic airport training center became the place of their wedding celebration last summer.

"In our opinion, a wedding is a very personal story about two people, their personalities and shared values, so it is beautiful if the wedding celebration includes this story. The airport brought us together, so there too we wanted to celebrate our love, but such interesting entertainment as a flight in a simulator, allowing you to feel like a pilot leather, provided a new experience for the guests - both parents and friends," said Linda and Rihards.
