Wedding Photographers & Videographers at The Swiftwater, Swiftwater

The Swiftwater is a modern hotel on Route 611 in Swiftwater, and a wedding here keeps you, your guests and your vendors in one place. The hotel mixes contemporary design with rustic mountain touches, and it lists photo opportunities throughout the property, so your photographer and videographer can take you around the building and grounds for wedding photos between the ceremony and dinner.

Its ceremony and reception spaces hold up to 200 guests, for a small wedding ceremony or a larger party. The wedding party gets bridal suite access and wedding day amenities, and there are guest rooms and suites for the wedding party and out-of-town guests. A dedicated events team plans the day with you and can suggest local vendors. Ask which rooms you'd use for each part of the day, and walk them with your videographer to think about light and sound.

Your wedding reception is catered by the hotel's chefs, with menus built around the event. The Olivet, the hotel restaurant, has a cocktail lounge, and Desaki, a hibachi restaurant just down the path, gives guests another place to eat that weekend. It also notes that it is a quiet property, so children under 18 must be with an adult at all times, worth knowing if your guest list includes kids.

• The hotel's new conference and event center was listed as opening soon, so confirm which spaces are booking for your date.
• Walk the property with your photographer and plan your photo stops.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines when you visit.
