14 Unusual Wedding Receptions

From Fairy-Tale Reception Halls to Food Truck Wedding Receptions

If you're going to commit, especially to an alternative wedding theme or venue, you're going to want an equally memorable and unusual wedding reception afterwards.

After a long and exciting day, what both partners, their wedding party and guests will be looking forward to is getting a bite to eat. Since food is at the heart of a wedding reception, some couples opt to save a trip and get married at fast food restaurants. However, food can also make its own journey to a reception in the form of a food truck or cart.

For something that's more of a spectacle, ice palaces and enchantingly romantic outdoor table settings also work as breathtaking reception options that help to make dreams of a fairy tale wedding a reality.
