Unusual places to get married: Wedding in the airy heights

Courageous couples who are looking for action on their wedding day and want to fly high will find what they are looking for with a wedding ceremony in a hot air balloon.
Because as they say? Love is in the Air :) What could be better than flying over the rooftops with your partner in a hot air balloon? You can enjoy the landscape and be among yourselves. So why not get married in the air? It will be breathtaking in any case!

Bianca's Tip:

Best to leave the high heels on the floor for later, for this necessarily Sunscreen apply and take a hat or umbrella with you! Those who are not afraid of heights should check out the other tips. :)

Emergency Pack: Water, fan and selfie stick. I ordered my selfie stick from Amazon. 

Unusual wedding: Under water

If you're willing to take the plunge for your partner, you might be tempted by a wetsuit wedding. With tanks, bouquet and wetsuit you can get married at the bottom of some lakes.
So even fans of diving in love will get their money's worth. So that the bridal bouquet does not appear in front of you, lead balls are attached. Instead of the classic "I do", there are nods and finger signs. After getting married, you surface and celebrate with your guests.

Waterproof make-up and an updo are advantageous here. The rings should be led from the ring cushion to the finger via a thread.
Maybe practice the underwater kiss during your summer vacation before the wedding, because it's not that easy.
Prerequisite for a wedding under water is the diving license.
Emergency Pack: Waterproof pen, underwater camera. You can find a good underwater camera at Amazon. 

Unforgettable wedding in the aquarium

If you love water and fish but don't think much of diving suits, you can also get married at the SeaLife Aquarium in Berlin.
In a glass elevator you are surrounded by tropical fish. So here you have not only your wedding guests as witnesses, but also many bug-eyed and colorful fish.

Extraordinary wedding: In lofty heights on the mountain

You can also tie the knot at over 1800 meters above sea level. If you love nature and mountains as much as your partner, you can do it on the Katschberg. In Austria and Germany you will not find a higher located registry office. And if you are already in the height: Hiking boots do not forget :)

Bianca's Tip:

After the ceremony, a picnic on the mountain pasture or a party in the mountain hut - without cell phone reception. But with family, friends and far away from everyday life. This is probably one of the most relaxed wedding celebrations.
Emergency Pack: Mosquito spray, sneakers and sweaters

Romantic island feeling: Marriage in the Caribbean (almost)

Your mom doesn't want to fly to Hawaii? Your husband is not a fan of long flights to Bali? No problem! Even in Germany there are enough small islands and sea. Even palm trees are quickly organized.

It's not that warm, but it can still be romantic.

Unusual wedding: back to the Middle Ages

Would you like to say "I do" in noble garb at a castle with a court jester and acrobats accompanied by royal music?
There are many tailor shops that specialize in linen, cotton, velvet and silk robes. So you can choose from elf dresses, Viking dresses and many other noble designs. At a medieval wedding, your decorating skills are in demand. After all, it has to look authentic. Rustic chests, knight helmets, skins - you can let off steam :)


A great place to get married: ship ahoy

An unusual alternative to the classic wedding ceremony in the registry office is a ship or a boat. Whether you choose a sailboat or a whole ship depends on the number of people you want to have with you. In both cases you will have a romantic view of the lake or the sea. Maybe even with a beautiful sunset.

Bianca's Tip:

Please note that getting married on a ship is valid only under certain conditions. You have to ask yourself questions like: Under which flag does the ship sail, how far must/may it be from the coast. You can get detailed information at the registry office.

Unusual places to get married: In a cave

If you're not a fan of daylight, get sunburned quickly and want something really unusual, you can also get married under the day. So in a cave. Whether it's a stalactite cave, an ice cave or a normal cave - it's dark and cool in both. But at the same time, that means plenty of room for pretty decorative lights and very special acoustics. Romantic scenery and trembling knees guaranteed.

Bianca's Tip:

Be sure to visit the location with a photographer beforehand! He must know exactly what conditions prevail in the cave. Only then can he take beautiful photos of your wedding ceremony. The same applies to the music.
Emergency Pack: Something warm to wear and blankets for the guests

Dream wedding with animals


Many zoos are happy to open their doors for civil weddings. Here you can express your love with a sponsorship. And at the end of the ceremony let fly doves.
Even more unusual is a circus wedding with animals and circus people in the ring. This could be a fun and varied day for you and your guests. Especially children will be thrilled by the many animals. It gets exotic when you rent unusual animals. So agility dogs, falcons, parrots and Co can provide for an unusual wedding interlude.
But horse farms also give you access to the paddock. Horse lovers can rent the whole yard and experience the wedding ceremony with mare and white horse.
Emergency Pack: Treats for the animals (carrots, broccoli and co.), wet wipes and stain pens

Unusual places to get married: At the soccer stadium

If your sweetheart can't do without soccer on your wedding day and you love it more than anything else, you can combine your hobby and your wedding. Where Schweinsteiger, Manuel Neuer and Co. usually score goals, you can tie the knot.
The path might be a bit bumpy because of the grass and high heels. That's the good news: you can wear comfortable ballerinas :)

Bianca's Tip:

If you are getting married in a stadium, be sure to do a location check with your photographer. The light does not always fall equally well, especially in a large stadium.
You must also always clarify exactly and regulate in writing which damages are covered by the soccer club. Otherwise, the wedding budget will be in for some nasty surprises later on.
The lawn is sacred to footballers after a wedding with 50 guests it certainly no longer looks as immaculate as before.
Emergency Pack: Extra wide heel protection for all guests with high heels.

Unusual places for the wedding: get married in the raisin bomber

Yes, that's right! All those who are enthusiastic about nostalgic airplanes can also pursue this preference on the day of the wedding. In Berlin there is the possibility to get married in a raisin bomber from the 40s. A flight that will prepare you for the ups and downs of marriage before it has begun. You are allowed to take 25 wedding guests with you.

Wedding in the green: Marriage in the Botanical Garden

If you love flowers and the chirping of birds, you can also say yes to your partner in many botanical gardens.

In beautiful scenery and in the midst of fragrant flowers and on fresh lawns you close the marriage here. Those who would like to get married under palm trees, but cannot travel, can get married in the Palmengarten in Frankfurt.

Our conclusion

On the most beautiful day in life, you can like to come up with something extraordinary. Leave the dusty, dark registry office behind and fulfill your dream!

However, you have to expect higher costs. Because the registrars are happy to pay for a wedding in unusual places.

Attention: The more unusual the location, the more time-consuming the administrative organization in advance. Check with the registry office early enough whether it is even possible to get married at your desired location and what the requirements are.

A wedding planner can certainly help you here!
