As for ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) pastors, yes, they can perform wedding ceremonies outside of the church building. They cannot perform ceremonies outside of the church without God being present in the ceremony, but the location is not a problem.
Pastors of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS) and of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) can also perform wedding ceremonies outside of church buildings since people, and not buildings, are what make up the Church. However, they will not perform weddings in church buildings of denominations different from their own. Also, WELS pastors should not officiate at weddings in which they would share officiating duties with clergy from other denominations and faiths. Most LCMS pastors will decide dual faith/denomination ceremonies on an individual basis.
