Best Wedding Venues from Around the World

American Museum of Natural History
New York, New York

The American Museum of Natural History is among the most popular NYC tourist attractions by day, and the most exclusive and expensive event venues by night! If dancing the night away under the world-famous 94' whale, amidst dinosaurs, stars, and planets, sounds like your dream wedding, then look no further! Of course, as is the case for most of the venues on this list, you must be prepared to pay the big bucks. Hosting a wedding at the AMNH costs upwards of $300 per guest, not to mention the mandatory $3,500 museum Patron Membership fee, and $11,000 for museum admission!

Château Vaux-le-Vicomte
Maincy, France

Paris may be the city of love, but the most romantic French wedding spot is actually located south of the city, in a small commune called Maincy! Château Vaux-le-Vicomte, designed by the same masterminds behind Versailles in the 17th century, is set on 100 acres of land. Wealthy socialiate Vanisha Mittal was famously married here in 2004 for a cool $75 million.
