Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Green Grove Gardens Event Center, Greencastle

A wedding at Green Grove Gardens Event Center outside Greencastle is set on 40 acres of manicured lawns, gardens and water features, with views of the Tuscarora Mountains. For your photographer and videographer, the grounds are full of options for wedding photos: fountains, a pergola, winding walkways, and a big deck looking out at the mountains.

The gardens are made for outdoor ceremonies, and the grounds also have a large outdoor pagoda that gives shade. After the ceremony, the wedding reception moves into the renovated dairy barn, which keeps its original hardwood floors and adds elegant chandeliers. It seats up to 550 guests for dinner, so even a very large guest list fits. The deck and patio off the barn give guests somewhere to gather with a drink while you take pictures.

Catering comes from The Family Table Restaurant, which partners with the venue and can build a custom menu at a price you're comfortable with. The venue holds wedding tastings and expos where you can try the food and meet its preferred vendors. In a hall this size, ask your wedding videographer to scout where the toasts and the first dance will happen, so the camera and microphones are in the right spots on your wedding day.

• Contact the venue to arrange a tour and check the calendar for wedding tastings.
• Walk the gardens with your photographer to choose your ceremony spot and picture locations.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and getting-ready space.

A little about Green Grove Gardens Event Center

Green Grove Gardens began as a working dairy farm. The family that owned it started hosting weddings for friends and neighbors, then planted the gardens, added fountains and turned the old dairy barn into an event hall.
