Final Thought
No matter what your budget looks like, the city truly has so much beauty to offer at every level, from intimate hidden spaces to full-scale iconic venues.
What matters most is how you balance the setting with everything else that brings the day to life. Photography, florals, music, and styling all sit on top of the venue and can completely shift the overall feel.
Some couples let the space speak for itself, leaning into architecture, views, and natural atmosphere. Others build a very curated Pinterest-inspired world on top of it. And if the budget allows, the magic is can be in doing both.
