Wedding Photographers & Videographers at The Elms Hotel, Oxford

A wedding at The Elms Hotel in Oxford puts your wedding reception in uptown, on South Main Street. The hotel's Overlook Ballroom is its event room for weddings, and your photographer and videographer can start the day in a guest suite upstairs and finish it on the dance floor without anyone getting in a car.

The Elms is mainly a place to celebrate rather than to hold the vows, so most couples pair it with a ceremony elsewhere in Oxford and bring the party here afterward. The hotel has 60 rooms, including 34 specialty suites, so out-of-town guests can stay steps from the ballroom, and the wedding party has somewhere close by to rest between the church and dinner. Ask the hotel whether a suite can be held for getting ready on your wedding day, which gives your photographer a calm place for detail pictures and your videographer a quiet room for the moments before you leave.

For dinner, the Overlook Ballroom holds up to 225 guests, room enough for dinner, a dance floor and a spot for the toasts. Catering for events is arranged through The Pickle & Pig, the restaurant that adjoins the hotel, so menus and bar service come from the kitchen next door. With uptown Oxford right outside, plan a short walk uptown with your photographer for a few wedding photos before the reception starts.

• Call the hotel to check the ballroom and a room block for your date.
• Ask The Pickle & Pig about menus for your guest count.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and guest parking.
