Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Simon Kenton Inn, Springfield

A wedding at the Simon Kenton Inn in Springfield gives your photographer and videographer a historic inn to work with: a Federal Style home and an old Spring House on manicured grounds, with outdoor fire pits and a patio. It's the kind of place where the wedding photos can move from the inn's porch to the lawns to the reception hall without anyone leaving the property.

Your wedding reception takes place in Kenton Hall, the inn's former pavilion, now renovated and climate-controlled so it works in any season, with room for up to 300 guests. Ask the inn about holding your ceremony on the grounds. Your wedding party can stay over, too, in rooms at the Historic Inn, in the Barn on the Hill, or in one of the Luxury Treehouses, so getting ready and the morning after happen in the same place.

Catering comes from the inn, which also runs a restaurant and a fully stocked pub, and there's always plenty of parking. Event pricing changes with food and labor costs, so call for current numbers. For your wedding videographer, a climate-controlled hall means no worries about wind or weather during the toasts and first dance, while the fire pits make a cozy spot for evening footage on the wedding day.

• Call the inn for current pricing and dates.
• Book rooms for your wedding party early.
• Ask about ceremony locations, photo and video guidelines, and where portraits work best on the grounds.

A little about Simon Kenton Inn

The Federal Style home and the Spring House were built in 1828 and still stand. The inn later grew with a pub, a restaurant, more guest rooms and 18 more acres in 2009, and a party pavilion followed in 2010. A historical marker beside the Spring House marks where the original cabin of the inn's namesake stood.
