There are so many restaurant ceremony and reception venues around the country with private event spaces or banquet halls (or the option to do a full buyout and rent the entire place!), so you’re bound to find a location that’s ideal for your big day (or your elopement!). Check out some of our favorite restaurant wedding venues from around the U.S.
