Your wedding venue sets the tone for your entire celebration, so finding one that truly fits your vision is so important. If a traditional wedding venue doesn’t feel like the right fit, that’s okay. Airbnb and VRBO venues can truly be an amazing alternative. They offer the chance to create an intimate celebration with your closest loved ones all in one place, and give you an excuse to turn your wedding into a relaxed, multi-day experience.
Choosing an Airbnb wedding venue (it was actually a VRBO!) was truly one of the best decisions we could have made, and I’d recommend an Airbnb (or VRBO) wedding a hundred times over. Not only did it fit within our budget, but it also turned our one-day wedding into a relaxed, multi-day experience.
With wedding planning becoming more intentional, non-traditional venues are more popular than ever. That’s why I spend so much time uncovering the best options, and there’s no shortage of stunning Airbnb wedding venues in New York. Whether you’re dreaming of a fall celebration in an apple orchard or exchanging vows with lakefront views, New York has beautiful options year-round.
Below, you’ll find some of the most event-friendly Airbnb and VRBO wedding venues in New York, complete with highlights, links, and must-knows to help you find the perfect fit for your day.
The simple answer is sometimes. Over the years, Airbnb’s event policies have gotten stricter, so it’s important to carefully read through each listing. If you’re not finding the perfect location on Airbnb, don’t be discouraged.
Other short-term rental sites like VRBO are often a better option for finding event-friendly properties, regardless of your wedding location. Many New York hosts openly allow weddings, list guest capacities, and note any additional event fees upfront, which makes the search process much easier.

From personal experience, I can confidently say that VRBO is the best alternative to Airbnb. Their search filters make it super easy to find properties that allow events, so you don’t have to scroll through every single listing hoping to stumble across your dream venue.
Now let’s explore some of the best VRBO and Airbnb wedding venues in New York that are perfect for micro weddings, weekend-long celebrations, or destination elopements. Each listing in this article allowed events at the time of publishing, but always confirm directly with the host or property manager to ensure their policies align with your plans.
