Stars, they’re just like us! Or at least, we can try to be like them—especially when it comes to getting inspiration from their weddings, more specifically their wedding venues. It’s no surprise that so many celebrities have opted to host their epic celebrations at spectacular spots all over the world—but what you might not realize is that you can get married at many of these award-worthy venues too! There are tons of celebrity wedding venues in California and New York, of course, plus other dreamy destinations like Lake Como and Paris, where the rich and famous flock to for their weddings.
Palatial estates, bucolic vineyards, and—you guessed it—A Little White Wedding Chapel in Sin City are just a few of the celebrity wedding venues where your favorite famous people said, “I do.”
For more information on how and where they celebrated, we’ve compiled some of the most special spots—and of course the fabulous celebrity wedding pictures taken at each star-studded event. Plus we’ve added even more photos of each venue—many of which are from real weddings featured on the site—to give you even more to fantasize about for your own dream day.
