There are many options on where to hold your ceremony. Many couples choose a PA hall for the large common areas that can be easily decorated. If you're not in a PA you may be able to find a group that will rent out their hall or house for a ceremony. An example is the Museo de Ostium Vepres, a fledgling museum on Tatooine (Bria server) that houses all manner of odd artifacts from a Dark Jedi light saber to full suits of armor. Ask around on your galaxy's forum and you will most likely find a venue for rent.

If you want something a bit grander in scale, or if you don't want to spend the credits on a hall, there are many places in and around the various cities that may suit your needs. From the overlook at the palace in Theed to Vreni Island's outdoor stage on Corellia or the waterfalls of Naboo, there are a myriad of choices for you. Of course, "public" means public and you may want to consider a private chat channel for all your attendees in order to keep out the noise of merchants and party crashers.

With player-run cities, weddings can be held in a player-controlled theater or cantina. Some very nice wedding spots will be created with public gardens and other decorations placed by the Mayor. There is also the advantage of being able to ban party crashers from the city or to use the city militia to prevent unwanted attacks. A smart Mayor will charge for this service.

If you are looking for a great place out of the hustle and bustle of a city, there is nothing like finding one of the great vistas offered throughout the galaxy. There's the oasis on Tatooine, or the hills north of Kor Vella on Corellia. Or perhaps the happy couple will want to tie the knot at their favorite hunting ground.

Since many of the wild spaces are full of wild creatures, this can be a drawback. Wedding planners should scout the wedding location, as well the most likely path guests will take to get there. Some credits should be spent on a security force to clear dangerous creatures out of the area before and during the wedding. Armed escorts for guests may also be in order. Just make sure that the guests know where to meet.
