A wedding at Hills & Dales MetroPark in Kettering takes place among some of the highest ground near Dayton, with long wooded ridges, creeks and rolling hills. For your photographer and videographer, the woods make a soft, shady background, the vista on Patterson Boulevard near the Patterson Monument gives a wide view, and the park is a favorite in fall, especially around Dogwood Pond, for color in your wedding photos.

Any reservable shelter can host a wedding ceremony or a picnic-style wedding reception if its capacity fits your guest list, and MetroParks points to three here. Paw Paw Shelter seats 100 under its Adirondack roof in the woods and is called the most sought-after shelter in the park district. Patterson Shelter holds 40 in a neighborhood setting beside Community Golf Course, with restrooms, a play area and open lawn nearby. For a tiny wedding, the Dogwood Pavilion at Dogwood Pond seats 15 on fixed benches.

Shelters come with picnic table seating and a six-hour reservation, booked at least four days and up to a year ahead, and an alcohol permit can be added. Acoustic music needs no extra permit, while a DJ or other amplified sound needs a special use permit and must stay within the shelter area, which also keeps your wedding video sound clear. The rest of the park stays open, so hikers may pass by, and there is no weather back-up plan.

  • Reserve your shelter early, since Paw Paw books fast.
  • Walk the woods and the Patterson Boulevard overlook with your photographer and videographer.
  • Ask MetroParks about the photography permit and the shelter rules before your wedding day.
