NEW YORK, NY, August 27, 2024 – Ever dreamed of getting married where Ross and Rachel tied the knot or the Blank Space music video was filmed? How about in the enchanting woodlands of Redmond, Washington, or an intimate New York City bookstore surrounded by literary classics? Engaged couples are in luck. Today, The Knot, a leading all-in-one wedding planning resource, debuts its Unforgettable Venues Collection – a curated list of 54 extraordinary wedding locations for any style, budget, size and vibe on The Knot Vendor Marketplace.
