Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Wilson College (Laird Hall and campus event spaces), Chambersburg

A wedding at Wilson College in Chambersburg can stay on one campus from the first note of the ceremony to the last dance. The college's conference and events office rents its spaces for weddings and receptions on a 300-acre campus, and the mix of a historic chapel, big reception halls and open grounds gives your photographer and videographer plenty to work with.

For your wedding ceremony, the Alumnae Chapel inside historic Thomson Hall seats up to 300 in theatre-style rows and is full of hand-crafted detail. You may request the chapel's Steinway piano and Moller organ, a lovely sound for the processional on your wedding film, and the rental includes a three-hour rehearsal slot the evening before. If you'd rather keep everything in one room, Laird Hall can hold both the ceremony and the reception.

Laird Hall is the large choice, with room for up to 350, a built-in 30 by 30 foot stage for the band or the toasts, and a space that divides into three bays. Jensen Dining Hall suits up to 200 and has large windows and polished hardwood floors, good daylight for wedding photos of the room before guests come in. All food and drink come from the college's catering partner, SAGE Dining Services, with a menu consultation after you book, and catering isn't allowed in the chapel or Thomson Hall. The campus has parking for events and sits close to I-81 for guests coming from out of town.

• Send the event request form and allow a few business days for a reply, then schedule a tour.
• Walk your wedding day route from the chapel to your reception hall with your photographer.
• Ask the events office about photo and video guidelines, including pictures on the grounds and outside buildings.
