You don’t have to be a theme park enthusiast to plan an elopement wedding in Central Florida.
While the Sunshine State is best known for its beaches and magical tourist attractions, many couples either local to the area or from out of town still choose to elope in Orlando, Daytona Beach, Lakeland, and throughout the Central Florida area. However, finding an ideal location to stay or hold your elopement is tricky.
Until Airbnb, that is.
Planning an Airbnb elopement is one of the hottest wedding trends. While many larger homes restrict events or large gatherings, choosing to elope at an Airbnb is perfect for couples seeking a romantic, private getaway. You can then choose to exchange your vows at a nearby park or scenic area, using your Airbnb as a honeymoon destination and backdrop for unique, stunning wedding photos to document your intimate elopement experience.
We’ve scouted the internet for the most romantic, must-see Airbnb’s that would be perfect for eloping to the Central Florida area. If you’re planning to elope near Orlando, Daytona Beach, or anywhere else in the Central Florida region, keep reading!
