Indiana might not be the first state you think of when planning a wedding, but interestingly it is one of the cheapest American states for weddings. While state residents acquire a wedding license from the county of residence, non-state residents can obtain it from the county where the wedding will take place. Indiana follows a no-waiting period rule and the marriage license is valid for 60 days from the date of issue. Indiana knows how to hold events, with Indianapolis 500 and Grand Prix of Indianapolis under its belt, so you know a wedding will be no problem! With a mix of city and rural venues, Indiana can make all your wedding dreams true. Using a vacation rental does not necessarily mean you are limited to planning a small wedding. Many rentals allow upwards of 50 guests. Continue reading to check out the best Airbnb wedding venues in Indiana, USA.

1. Lily's Pad; English (from USD 150)
Posted by Lily's Pad on Saturday, July 8, 2023
This is a unique rental on stilts with decks on multiple levels that are great spots for evening cocktails or post-brunch drinks. The vast property grounds can be used to host a spectacular wedding in nature. A smaller, more intimate ceremony for up to 30 people can take place on the deck itself, with guests gathered underneath. And if you do not want to handle the stress of planning a wedding, contact the host directly to enquire about their small wedding package.
Even if you decide to plan the wedding and bring in outside vendors, it is best to contact the host before booking to iron out requirements and any additional permissions.
Guest capacity: 30

Testimonial: “This Airbnb is everything you looking for when it comes to nature and peace. The hot tub is the highlight but this place is perfectly located to Holiday World, Abraham Lincoln’s Boyhood National Memorial, and much more. Thanks for great memories Anna!” - Kyle

3. The Cottage at Twin Creeks Farm; Valparaiso (from USD 375)
Head out into the country for a weekend to celebrate your nuptials. If you are thinking of a small wedding, the entire group could easily be accommodated on-site. However, the grounds are perfect for a wedding on a larger scale. Exchange vows near the pond or under the shade of majestic trees near the cottage. Tables for the post-wedding meal can be arranged in the open or under a tent.
Wedding guests that cannot be accommodated at the cottage can be hosted in downtown Valparaiso, which is a quick five-minute drive away. Or, another option is to get in touch with the host to rent the Airstreams on the property. Creekside Golf Course is right next door and a relaxing round of golf might just be what guests need to begin the wedding weekend.
