How to Plan a Space Wedding

A Florida-based company is offering couples a once-in-a-lifetime chance to tie the knot with their love in space. The company’s website says you can add a wedding flight to your booking on a regular Space Perspective trip for a little extra cash. The trip will take you to the edge of space so that you can look down on Earth from above, but won’t be quite as nerve-wracking as a full-on space mission.

But the trip will still set you back a lot of dough, with the price starting at $125,000 per seat. And you’ll have to act fast if you want to make it on the calendar — the wait list is light-years long.

Getting married in a unique space can be a wonderful opportunity to add some personality and charm to your big day. However, it’s essential to make sure your wedding priorities and budget align with the venue you choose. Taking a personal tour of the venue can help you get a better sense of the size and layout, as well as whether the ambiance is right for your vision of the perfect wedding.

If stunning photos top your list of must-haves it’s a good idea to book a wedding photographer that specializes in shooting in the venue you plan to marry at. You’ll be able to work with the photographer before the wedding to discuss details like lighting and camera angles that will maximize your chances of creating amazing images.

Before finalizing your venue, it’s always a good idea to have an in-person meeting with the venue owner or manager. They’ll be able to provide professional insights into the pros and cons of the venue based on your wedding needs and budget.

Depending on the type of venue you choose, it may already be fully equipped with wedding rentals including tables, chairs and linens. This can help keep your overall wedding costs down by reducing the amount of decor you need to bring in. If this is the case, you can focus on more high-impact wedding details like adding runners to your tablescapes for a splash of color or changing up your centerpieces with different flowers or types of arrangements.
