Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Little Brook Meadows, Lancaster

A wedding at Little Brook Meadows gives you 50 acres of meadow, pond and garden just a mile south of downtown Lancaster. Your photographer and videographer will have plenty to work with: stone walls and tall grass at the edge of the cornfield, shade trees with the big barn behind you, a gazebo, a pond and a secret garden. The southern-style house on the hill, with its carved wood and rich paneled rooms, adds an elegant indoor setting for wedding photos too.

You can hold your wedding ceremony at the pond, the gazebo, the secret garden, out in the grass meadows or inside the barn, with no extra charge for a ceremony on site. Ceremony arches and props are yours to use. The barn has a bridal suite for getting ready on your wedding day, and the 8,000-square-foot house, which sleeps 20 and fits 48 for a rehearsal dinner, can be rented with the barn so your wedding party stays together all weekend and gets ready under one roof.

The barn's main room seats up to 300 guests for the reception, with room for a dance floor and buffet. Paper lanterns and tulle lighting can be dimmed and set to your colors, a nice glow for your wedding videographer during the first dance, and there are two bars and an 11-foot retractable screen for a slideshow. Four stalls of props and decor come at no extra fee, the staff sets up tables and chairs the way you like, and a coordinator works with you for 12 hours. You bring your caterer and drinks; the venue arranges a certified bartender. The barn is heated, so cooler months work too.

• Call or email for a tour and to check your date.
• Pick your ceremony spot with your photographer and videographer, and keep a backup inside the barn.
• Ask about any photo and video guidelines and the timing for portraits around the property.

A little about Little Brook Meadows

Built between 1939 and 1941 by a Columbus lumber family on the site of an 1850 farmhouse, the house shows off chestnut, redwood and cypress in its rooms. The current owners renovated the barn and opened Little Brook Meadows for weddings in 2011, after their own daughter's wedding here.
