Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Burch Farms Country Market, North East

A wedding at Burch Farms Country Market in North East puts you on a working family farm, with orchards nearby and open countryside around you. For your photographer and videographer, that means fresh air, long views and fruit trees instead of a hotel ballroom wall, and plenty of room to wander for wedding pictures of the two of you.

The farm's event venue has two settings. Inside the Farm Market there's room for up to 100 guests, a good size for a smaller wedding reception or a rehearsal dinner. Outside, the grounds can host up to 200 guests for a bigger countryside celebration. If you'd like to hold your wedding ceremony on the farm too, ask about it when you call, along with what happens if the weather turns.

Food is easy here, because the farm caters in house. The menu leans toward farmhouse comfort food: appetizer trays, smoked meats, prime rib, a long list of sides and desserts from the farm's own bakery, or a pig roast. Burch Farms is also a working winery, so your bar can pour wines made on site from the farm's own apples, grapes and peaches, plus beer and wine slushies on a warm day. Ask your videographer to catch a toast with a glass of the farm's wine, and plan your wedding day around the light over the orchards in the evening.

• Call the farm to check your date and talk through layouts and catering.
• Visit at the hour of your event and walk the grounds with your photographer.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and a rain plan for anything held outdoors.
