where can i find a list of outdoor wedding ceremony locations?
I am especially looking for locations in the united states in either colorado, michigan, or texas. I am looking for garden locations, it would be ok if there was also a beach but it needs to have a garden. Most locations have certain hours that you can use their garden and i am looking for an evening wedding. I also need for there to be space for 250-450 guest

I’d contact the local governing body (don’t know what you call them over there!)
Because a venue needs licensing for functions and insurance the local governing body has to know about them. Most councils (I’m using my local governing body as an example) have a list, ORGANISED councils have it categorised by price and capacity!
My wedding venue was a local park with a council run chapel in it, it was free to use and didn’t have any upper guest limits.
I would try to narrow down to at least a certain state first. Then go from there. If you get married on the east coast. Check out the botanical garden in Fayetteville, NC. It’s beautiful with a large grassy area for guests then a gazebo for you to stand in.
There’s also a photographer in Rocky Mount, NC that is faily cheap. She’s giving away a wedding next year. She’s making a big announcement January 1. A friend told me about her. She’s up and coming in photography. check out http://www.gracefulimagesphoto.com. Supposedly she’ll travel 2 hours or you can pay for her travel and she’ll go anywhere.
Hope this helps. Good Luck!
My friend is a minister who often marries people on the beach. She does not plan
the other parts on the celebration. Usually a caterer could handle the other arrangements
and would know where they have carried out successful receptions in the past.
