Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Barn at Rush Creek, Sugar Grove

A wedding at the Barn at Rush Creek takes you to a rustic barn on a private 200-acre farm in Sugar Grove, at the northern edge of the Hocking Hills region. It's run by Valley View Hills Winery, so your day has a winery and open farmland around it. For wedding photos and video, that means room to wander: your photographer and videographer can work with the barn and the open fields, and the winery is part of the same property.

Your wedding ceremony can be held outdoors or inside, since the package includes both indoor and outdoor ceremony space, with ceremony chairs set up for you. The barn then becomes your wedding reception for up to 150 guests, with tables, chairs and linens included, and the staff takes care of setup and cleanup. A parking attendant greets guests, and you get a day-of coordinator plus three planning meetings ahead of time.

Things get going on Friday, with four hours to decorate and your rehearsal, and on your wedding day the venue is yours from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. The package includes an on-site cabin that sleeps 16 for two nights, so your bridal party can get ready together and stay close. A bartender serves drinks, and all alcohol comes from Valley View Hills Winery, which pours its own wines along with beer. If your videographer is capturing toasts in the barn, ask where they can plug in and set up sound.

• Send a request through the winery's website to check your date.
• Walk the barn, the ceremony spots and the farm with your photographer and videographer.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and your plan if the weather turns.
