Are you thinking about taking the step in your relationship? With Valentine's Day right around the corner, many couples are feeling extra romantic and head over heels in love and likely dreaming about what their future wedding may look like, including where they would like to walk down the aisle.
WalletHub compared nearly 200 cities across the country to determine which are the best places to get married in 2025. While some of the most popular spots are found in places with a warmer climate, such as Florida with its long list of attractions or in California with its sunshine-filled skies, there are plenty of other incredible spots around America to say "I do."

- No. 16: Cincinnati
- No. 56: Columbus

- No. 127: Akron
Coming in at No. 16 overall, Cincinnati is not only the best place to get married in Ohio but it's one of the best in the entire country, earning relatively high marks in the facilities & services, activities & attractions and costs categories.
