My Top Tips for Planning an Airbnb Wedding
Find the Perfect Airbnb that Allows Weddings
find a property that allows weddings! Not all Airbnb's are wedding-friendly, so it’s important to check the listing carefully or communicate directly with the host. Brittney and Taylor found the perfect Airbnb that not only accommodated their closest family and friends for the weekend, but also gave them the freedom to celebrate however they wanted. Check out the best Airbnb wedding venues in every state!
Pro tip: Look for a property that gives you enough space to hold the ceremony, reception, and any overnight guests if that’s part of your vision. The more versatile the property, the better!
Make the Airbnb Your Own + Curate Your Vibes
Bringing your unique touch to the space can turn a simple Airbnb into the wedding venue of your dreams. From adding romantic string lights and draped fabric to renting vintage furniture or even an epic photo booth—there’s no limit to the ways you can make the place reflect you as a couple.
Airbnb weddings give you a chance to create a homey, intimate atmosphere. Brittney and Taylor’s inside-tent-sleepover vibe was next level, and it made the whole weekend feel like one big family reunion. You can do the same with cozy seating areas, personal décor, and sweet touches like handwritten notes for guests or even s’mores by a fire pit.
Use the Entire Property and Embrace Nature
When you’re renting an Airbnb for your wedding, use it all. Brittney and Taylor took full advantage of every inch of the property—from hosting a ceremony in the wildflower-filled backyard to having a pool party after the wedding. Their guests even camped out for the weekend, tents and all, which added to the laid-back, communal vibe of the entire celebration.
The beauty of an Airbnb wedding is that you often get a stunning natural backdrop—whether it’s a mountain view, a lake, or a garden filled with wildflowers. Take advantage of it! You don’t need much décor when nature is showing off like that. Brittney and Taylor’s backyard ceremony was as dreamy as it gets, with wildflowers and rolling hills making it feel like something out of a fairytale.
If your Airbnb has extra features like a pool, garden, or big outdoor space, make them part of the fun! Think poolside cocktails, lawn games, or even a starlit dance floor under the open sky.
Keep it Laid Back and Fun
There’s something so special about keeping the day light and easy. Brittney and Taylor’s laughter and joy were contagious because they weren’t focused on a rigid schedule or trying to impress anyone. They just enjoyed their day—and that’s what your wedding should be about. Keep the vibe fun, relaxed, and filled with personal touches that make you and your lover happy.
End the Night with a Bang
Fireworks, pool jumps, Chinese lanterns, whatever feels celebratory to you, end the night with a moment your guest will remember for the rest of their lives. Brittney and Taylor’s firework display and spontaneous pool party made for the most epic conclusion to their wedding day, and I’m here for it.
Why Brittney and Taylor's Wedding Was SO Special
This wedding wasn’t just about the decor or the setting—it was about the people. The love that Brittney and Taylor shared with each other, their family, and their friends created a warm, welcoming energy that filled every corner of that Airbnb. We laughed all day and danced all night, and it was hands down one of the most joyful weddings I’ve ever had the privilege to capture.
Their gallery reflects that too—fun, playful, loving, and intimate. These are the moments that truly matter, and I’m so lucky I got to be there to capture them.
