A wedding day should be just as special as the love that’s shared, and finding the ideal venue is the first step in creating that beautiful milestone event. It can be hard to start from scratch when it comes to searching for the perfect place to tie the knot, so we’re rounding up some of the best LGBTQ+-friendly wedding properties in the U.S. to celebrate.
Love at a Landmark
Known for its thriving and inclusive community, San Francisco is truly an icon. Ranked #1 for the most LGBTQ-friendly cities in the U.S. by Advocate, we’d be remiss not to mention this venue first.

The hotel has 24 event rooms and over 43,000 square feet of space to entertain, celebrate and commemorate your special day. Weddings here are on the elegant and sophisticated side, so tell guests to pack their black tie attire.
Say “I Do” With a View
If you want to proclaim your love all the way from a rooftop, Marina del Rey Marriott may be just the place. In the heart of Los Angeles, you can overlook both the city lights and the ocean beyond. With stunning panoramic views, guests will be enthralled by the backdrop and the gorgeous weather Southern California is known for. Once the ceremony is over, escape to one of several ballrooms to keep the celebration going into the night.
This dog-friendly boutique resort is in the heart of the action with views of either the marina or Santa Monica from each guest room’s private balcony. A relaxing retreat awaits within, where guests can enjoy craft-made cocktails or delectable dishes at Sinder Restaurant. Or venture outside with an abundance of great eateries within walking distance in any direction.
