Non-beach Destination Wedding

Hi Everyone!

My FH and I are trying to plan a DW, but my only contingency is that it is not on the beach! I prefer a more botanical island vibe and have seen a few options, but wondering if people have other suggestions. We live in Philadelphia, so ideally it would be an easy travel for our guests, thinking USVI or PR. Open to other stateside DW venues, too. Thinking around a hundred guests.

Thank you for any help!

Jamie

    Would a botanical garden work?
    I know a couple who got married in the greater Chicago area that got married in a botanical garden/giant greenhouse.
    Our local zoo and botanical gardens also host weddings as well from time to time.
    I don't know if that's what you're looking for or not?

    I had a DW in west palm beach. I got married on the beach but I looked at a lot of different venues. Some of my favorites:

    http://luckyoldsunranch.com/ - actually owned by my photographer, who was also amazing. It's a GORGEOUS venue.

    https://morikami.org/private-events/ - A Japanese garden. Really interesting venue.

    https://www.redlandkoigardens.com/ - Soooooo much foliage. Really beautiful

    Welcome to the WeddingWire community, Jamie!

    USVI and PR are great options! I also like the previous posters idea of having a wedding at a botanical garden.

    There is a ton of inspiration in this article from the WeddingWire ideas section you should check out - The 20 Best Destination Wedding Locations, Hands Down. There are a couple of beach options in that article so just pass over those Smiley smile

    Will most of the 100 guests be travelling from Philadelphia also?
