Wedding Photographers & Videographers at The Slate Roof, Amanda

A wedding at The Slate Roof puts you inside a bank barn from the 1800s, right in the Village of Amanda on East Main Street. Rough-sawn wooden beams, old plank floors and lofted ceilings give your wedding photos warm wood and texture in every direction, and your photographer and videographer can move between three very different rooms without ever leaving the building.

Downstairs is the large banquet area, with sliding barn doors on three sides that can be rolled open to let a gentle breeze through. Beside it, a dry bar and lounge sit under open wood-beam ceilings, a cozy corner for cocktail hour or for quieter pictures of the two of you. Upstairs, the original barn loft has open-air lofted ceilings and seats up to 200, the room the venue calls a unique backdrop for your special day. There are restrooms and changing rooms downstairs, so you and your wedding party have a place on your wedding day to get dressed and freshen up.

All told, the barn has more than 7,000 square feet of open indoor space, enough for a wedding reception of up to 200 seated guests. Seating for 60 is included, with round tables and wooden chairs, and extra tables, chairs and linens can be rented. For your wedding videographer, those big open floors leave room to follow the first dance, and the loft makes a striking setting for toasts. Packages are paid in full 90 days before the event.

• Email the venue to check dates and talk through the two wedding packages.
• Ask whether your ceremony can be held in the loft or elsewhere on the property, and tour both floors with your photographer and videographer.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and parking when you visit.
