Where do you typically throw your Sims' Weddings?

Elope. Staging a wedding is a pain - in real life and in the game.

For me it varies on how invested I am on a specific family. If I'm being lazy and not too invested in the story-telling aspect, I just have them elope. If I'm feeling a bit more ambitious, I usually download a venue from the gallery

I typically just go for any place that has an existing wedding arch nearby. Lately, I've been enjoying having my sims get married at the wedding arch just behind the Club Calico in Brindleton Bay.

it depends on the sims getting married.
if the sims are the type to have a big fancy wedding, i give them a big fancy wedding. i've also had sims that just eloped on the spot, or at the romance festival.
the venues i use depend on the sim's personalities. i've used traditional churches, outdoor venues, wedding barns, lounges, and more.

I have a generic lot set aside for it. Sometimes I use parks, especially the one in Willow Creek

I have 3 venues I use for weddings, all downloaded from the gallery.

One is a small chapel, with a place in the garden for the reception.
The second is a large, elegant build with a chapel, a lovely courtyard, and even apartments for a mini honeymoon.
The other one I use is a gorgeous park that I placed where the VonHaunt house used to be, the ceremony under arch near the waterfall and then back to the park for a garden reception (cross your fingers it doesn’t rain).

If I am feeling lazy I just have them elope. One of the couples married in their kitchen, (really didn’t think that one through) all of the pics have a kitchen bench or appliance in the background. :#

I feel bad now...none of my sims have ever had a wedding.

All of my Sim couples that i have not married in CAS have eloped. I do want to throw an elaborate wedding for one of my favourite sim couples though. I was going to actually do a wedding event for my other favourite couple but I was so impatient I just had them elope

If I don't just have them elope, they usually get married at their houses. It's simpler for me that way.

It really depends on the personality of the sims and specific story/vibe going on. I've realized I do a LOT of weddings (just got the achievement for "serial monogomist" on my current save, lol) and I always try to go with what seems right for the specific couple.

So, I downloaded a spooky graveyard lounge for Morticia and Gomez.

These two actually two "weddings"--one big lavish public one with Miko friends contacts (she's in the politician career) and a private "wedding" with just the two of them where my "sim-self" Fanphoria Mercury could flaunt her alien-ness without freaking anyone out.

These two were impatient, and proposed and then immediately eloped at this tiny "chapel" that I'd placed in world.

These two had been together for ages already, and had a quaint but festive backyard wedding, with their three teenage kids helping out on cooking and hosting duties.

These two had a small (family only) rather formal and "important" wedding at a proper cathedral with a graveyard, as they were uniting to major vampire dynasties.

This romantic sim threw a lavish wedding at the von haunt estate and married her vampire betrothed at the stroke of midnight.

This sim who loves the outdoors also had a lavish Von Haunt estate wedding...and then a smaller backyard elopement for her second marriage, after the first one didn't work out ;-P

These two were still pretty poor when they got hitched, so they eloped in the ruins, and threw a cheaper party for all their friends after.

These frugal artsy types eloped outside the museum.

These two had kind of a controversial relationship, as the were basically brought up as siblings (each born from an abduction through a different parent) and eloped at the von haunt estate.

This successful and born rich artist married her outdoorsy beau in the newly renovated Municipal Muses courtyard, in a BIG and BOISTEROUS wedding

These two wanted to show off their swanky new apartment (didn't really work out, but still, can't knock the view).

And these two took advantage of the romance festival timing perfectly with their wedding plans.

And I've had elopements at the bluffs or on dates, and several other home weddings as well, sometime multiple generations in the same home. It all just depends on the circumstances and what vibe I get from the couple. I've got my tried and true ones of course--the rebuild of the von haunt estate I use is great for weddings, in a practical and aesthetic sense--but I like to try out new things too. Another pair of my recently got engaged, and I'm think about a home wedding for them, since she has the mansion baron aspiration and they've just moved into a pretty nice place and I imagine she'd want to show it off. I'd want to make it extra EXTRA nice, so we'll see what I an manage lol ;-P
