Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Libations Winery, Mercer

A wedding at Libations Winery in Mercer is made for a smaller guest list, with house-made wine poured by your own bartender. The Banquet Room seats about 60, or about 30 with the divider closed, and the cozy Wine Down Room, with a fireplace and a wraparound leather couch, holds 25. For wedding photos and video, the warm, close setting suits candid pictures of guests at the table and the toasts.

The winery lists small weddings and rehearsal dinners among the events it hosts, so it works well for an intimate wedding reception or the dinner the night before. The layout of the Banquet Room can be arranged the way you like, and it comes with black linens and cloth napkins, plus centerpieces and a projector screen, handy for a slideshow your videographer or a friend puts together. The winery's pages don't mention a ceremony space, so ask if you'd like to hold your wedding ceremony here too.

Food comes from the on-site kitchen, with menus you can customize, from grazing boards and hors d'oeuvres to entrees, pastas and wood-fired pizzas, with gluten-free and vegetarian options. Reservations include a designated bartender, pouring the winery's own wines (more than 20 kinds made on site) along with Pennsylvania spirits and craft beer. The winery also lists hotels nearby for out-of-town guests.

• Email or call the winery to check your date and book a tour.
• Ask your photographer to plan for a cozy indoor room and evening light.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and setup time on your wedding day.
