Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Troy-Hayner Cultural Center, Troy

Inside a Romanesque mansion on West Main Street, a wedding at Troy-Hayner Cultural Center in Troy has a ballroom and gardens to work with. The house has historic furnishings and gardens that couples appreciate, so your wedding photos and video have rich rooms and a bit of Troy history around you.

The center hosts weddings and receptions as well as showers, and its main building can host up to 120 guests for a private event, with rooms that can be arranged to suit your plans. A few steps from the mansion, the Cotner-Hayner Annex has its own entrance and kitchen plus a flexible floor plan, good for a rehearsal dinner or a smaller gathering. There is also a courtyard and Prouty Plaza outside. Ask the bookings office whether your wedding ceremony can be held in the ballroom or outdoors.

For the wedding reception, staff set up tables and chairs to your agreement, a receptionist opens and closes the building, and any caterer is welcome, with kitchen facilities available. Microphones, a projector and screen are free on request, helpful for a slideshow and for your wedding videographer when it's time for the toasts. An elevator reaches the second and third floors and a chairlift serves the west entrance. Guests park in the visitor lot on Water Street behind the center or on nearby streets, but not in the library lot.

• Contact the bookings office early and ask for the wedding rental brochure.
• Read the center's photographer guidelines and share them with your photographer and videographer.
• Walk the ballroom and gardens with your photographer before the wedding day.
