The online home marketplace also offers its top tips on how you can look for, and book your own dream wedding venue.
1. Pick the right options
Don’t forget to select “suitable for events” under featured amenities when you search the site.
2. Let your hosts know it's for a wedding
Be sure to communicate your booking needs to your hosts, so they don't get caught unawares.
3. Ask questions
Your hosts know certain details best, such as the total number of guests allowed and recommendations for local florists, caterers, musicians and other vendors.
