Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Battlefield Overlook Event Center (Gettysburg History Center), Gettysburg

A wedding at the Battlefield Overlook Event Center, inside the Gettysburg History museum just north of downtown Gettysburg, comes with views of the Gettysburg battlefield. Those views and the museum setting give your photographer and videographer something a typical banquet hall can't, and the room's lighting and blind controls let you shape the light for your wedding photos.

The event center hosts wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners and small ceremonies, with room for up to 150 guests. It has a built-in dance floor and a stage with directional lighting. A new media system includes a projector and screen, ceiling speakers, and handheld or lavalier microphones, which is handy for your wedding videographer when it comes to recording clear toasts. Additional indoor and outdoor spaces are available too, so ask what could work for a small wedding ceremony.

Layouts are flexible for dinner, dancing and toasts, and you can connect your phone to the sound system by Bluetooth. Biggerstaff's Catering is the preferred caterer, though you can ask to bring in your own approved caterer. A catering prep room and an elevator are close by, parking on site is free, and renting here supports a nonprofit. A slideshow on the big screen is easy to add to your wedding reception.

• Fill out the rental inquiry form or call the events office about your date.
• Visit the room at your reception hour to see the battlefield view, and bring your photographer if you can.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines in the museum and on the grounds on your wedding day.

A little about the Battlefield Overlook Event Center

Gettysburg History's museum and history center opened on April 15, 2023, built by the organization long known as the Adams County Historical Society, whose roots go back to 1888. The organization now uses Gettysburg History as its main name.
