Wedding Photographers & Videographers at The BackAlley, Butler

A wedding at The BackAlley in Butler is for couples who want their reception to feel like a party. The industrial event space sits at Family Bowlaway, and duckpin bowling is included in every wedding. Couples have taken wedding photos in front of the lanes and at the bar, and outdoor areas overlook the city, so your photographer and videographer have a few fun spots beyond the dance floor.

This is a reception venue. The open floor plan can be laid out the way you want, with seating for 170 or more guests, and your wedding reception can include cornhole and other games depending on your size and layout. It's climate controlled and wheelchair accessible, with free parking. A venue coordinator helps plan the evening, and when the reception ends, guests can keep the night going at the 11th Frame Bar and Grille next door.

Food comes from the in-house catering team, with appetizers, salads and entrées, plus cake and cookies. RAMP-certified bartenders run the drink packages, and you can ask for signature drinks. For your wedding video, the bowling lanes give your videographer something you won't see at other receptions: friends and family in their good clothes trying to pick up a spare. Ask where the toasts and first dance usually happen so the camera has a clear view.

• Check the calendar and request a tour.
• Ask for the current wedding booklet for menus and drink packages.
• Plan time on your wedding day for pictures at the lanes and outside, and ask about photo and video guidelines.
