Organic. Textural. Rooted in place.
For couples who feel most at home in landscapes that shape the story — where stone, wood, and mountain air become the framework for refined celebration.
Earthy & Elevated is for the couple who feels most at home when surrounded by nature — but never at the expense of style. These are weddings rooted in organic textures, layered with intention, and shaped by landscapes that feel as much a part of the design as the florals or tablescapes. It’s beauty in balance: grounded, refined, and quietly luxurious.
How to Choose an Earthy & Elevated Venue
- Embrace landscapes. Mountain views, vineyards, or forests should feel like part of the design.
- Favor natural textures. Stone, wood, and organic materials add quiet luxury.
- Look for immersion. The setting should feel lived-in, not staged.
- Balance rustic with refinement. Elevated design touches keep the look intentional.
Below, we’ve curated a collection of venues in the U.S. and Iceland that embody the Earthy & Elevated ethos — places where stone, wood, vineyard rows, and mountain air create an unforgettable canvas.

Earthy & Elevated Destination Wedding Venues in Iceland
For the Earthy & Elevated couple, Iceland is the pinnacle. Here, nature is the architecture: black sand beaches, mossy lava fields, glacial rivers, and mountains wrapped in mist. It’s a land where raw landscapes become ceremony spaces, and where beauty lies not in ornament but in the elements themselves.
It’s a destination that invites you to slow down, to immerse, to let the earth itself set the tone for your celebration.

ON Adventure Hotel — Nesjavellir, Iceland
Set on the edge of volcanic plains, the ION Adventure Hotel rises like a modernist outpost in the land of fire and ice. Its sleek, minimalist design contrasts with the rugged terrain — lava fields, mossy hillsides, and steaming hot springs just beyond its glass walls. Here, weddings feel elemental yet elevated, where raw Icelandic nature becomes the backdrop for a celebration rooted in texture, warmth, and wonder.
Hotel Geysir — Golden Circle
Built beside the geothermal wonders that gave Iceland its name, Hotel Geysir feels elemental by design. With interiors echoing the volcanic terrain and windows framing steam and sky, it’s a venue where the earth itself becomes your backdrop. Perfect for intimate weddings or elopements, it offers raw beauty with a modern edge.
Earthy & Elevated weddings are celebrations where the setting is as important as the story. They honor the textures of stone and wood, the stillness of mountain air, and the power of landscapes that feel timeless. From Colorado’s alpine cabins to Iceland’s volcanic horizons, these venues remind us that true luxury isn’t loud — it’s found in connection, presence, and place.
At Fox & Quinn, we believe weddings should be as immersive as they are beautiful. For couples who crave refinement rooted in nature, Earthy & Elevated offers a framework where your wedding feels less like an event, and more like an experience.
