Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Ramada by Wyndham State College Hotel & Conference Center, State College

A wedding at the Ramada by Wyndham State College Hotel & Conference Center keeps everything on South Atherton Street, about seven minutes from Penn State and Beaver Stadium. The hotel publishes a wedding gallery of its reception rooms, which is a good way to see how the ballrooms look in wedding photos and video before you visit.

Receptions are held in the Grand Ballroom, the Atrium and the Nittany room. The hotel has 13 meeting and event rooms with about 20,000 square feet of space, for groups from 10 up to 350 people, and its atrium is set aside for social gatherings. If you would like your wedding ceremony here too, ask the catering office which room they would use and how the turnover to dinner works.

Packages here are complete receptions, with a bar, a champagne toast, hors d'oeuvres, a sit-down or buffet dinner, and an overnight room for the couple. Friday nights and Sundays give the most flexibility on dates, and guests can ask about discounted room rates. Self-parking is free for cars and buses, which helps if guests are coming from out of town. There are indoor and outdoor pools for guests staying the weekend. For your wedding videographer, ask where the head table and dance floor will be for the toasts in your chosen room so they can plan light and sound for your wedding day.

• Call the catering office to set up a tour and check your date.
• Ask whether a ceremony can be held on site and in which room.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and room blocks for guests.
