Below are some
unique ceremony locations, some are more affordable than others, though less
than the Grand Ballroom at a 5 star location. Most
places are available for small wedding ceremonies, though some may accommodate
larger parties. Some may also have reception
facilities. Please contact the locations for their regulations and fees.
(Most parks only require a small permit fee but limit the
number of guests.)
