About Himelright Lodge (Cascade Valley Metro Park)

A wedding at Himelright Lodge puts you in a renovated barn from the 1800s in the Valley View Area of Cascade Valley Metro Park, on the north side of Akron. For wedding photos and video, that means weathered barn character inside and the park all around you outside, and Summit Metro Parks welcomes professional photography sessions for weddings in its parks with an approved special-use permit.

The lodge is rented to one group per day for your wedding day, from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., so you have the place to yourselves. Summit Metro Parks allows wedding ceremonies in most of its parks with a special-use permit, so ask about getting married outside near the lodge before moving in for dinner. For getting ready, add the wedding suite: two separate rooms, each for up to 15 people with heat and air conditioning, with make-up stations, garment racks, a changing area and a refrigerator. Your photographer and videographer can cover the getting ready and the reception without a drive in between.

Inside, the lodge holds 150 guests at round tables in a room about 67 by 35 feet, with ceiling fans, air conditioning and a prep kitchen for your caterer. A covered porch wraps two sides of the barn, with more lighted seating outside, a pleasant spot for cocktail hour and evening pictures. Alcohol is allowed with an approved special-use permit, and the reservation must be made at least three months ahead if you plan to serve it. Drones aren't allowed in the parks, so plan your wedding film from the ground.

Reservations open 18 months ahead to the day, so plan early.
Join a public tour to see the barn before you book.
Ask the parks which special-use permits you need for the ceremony and for professional photography.
