Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Hopwood Event Center (Hopwood Social Hall), Hopwood

A wedding at Hopwood Event Center brings your guests to a newly renovated hall in Hopwood, just outside Uniontown in Fayette County. The room blends French country charm with a refined, elegant look: farmhouse cross-back chairs, long farm tables mixed with rounds and full-length linens. A modern floral arch on the stage frames the two of you at the bridal table, a ready-made backdrop for wedding photos and for your videographer during the toasts.

This hall is built for a large wedding reception. It seats up to 450 guests on round tables, with a minimum of 200 on Saturdays and 175 on Fridays and Sundays, when a discount applies. Plan the ceremony at a church or another site and come here for cocktails, dinner and dancing. You have the hall from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., and you can usually drop off your things the day before.

The package is inclusive, run by Myers Catering: room rental, full-service catering, centerpieces, cake cutting for the bridal dance, a sign-in table, a large dance floor and controlled lighting, plus security and lighted paved parking. Beer and liquor are provided by the couple, served by bartenders from the hall's approved list. The band or DJ and the bar close at 10:30 p.m. The controlled lighting and big dance floor give your videographer room for the first dance, and a podium and microphone are available if you ask ahead.

• Call Myers Catering to check dates and the minimum for your day.
• Plan portrait time at your church or another spot before you arrive.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and setup times on your wedding day.
