Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Stoneybottom Celebration Venue, Port Matilda

A wedding at Stoneybottom Celebration Venue in Port Matilda gives you a family-owned hall on almost four acres, about 15 miles from State College just off Route 322. Outside there's a spring-fed pond, a large, well-kept lawn with landscaping and big porches, which gives your photographer and videographer real choices for wedding photos and video without leaving the property.

Inside, the event hall holds up to 200 guests, with heating and air conditioning, plenty of lighting and lots of parking, and it is accessible for guests with disabilities. A large commercial kitchen was recently upgraded, so ask how catering works for your wedding reception. A 75-by-30-foot picnic pavilion stands on the grounds too.

Stoneybottom lists weddings among the events it hosts, but its website doesn't say where ceremonies take place. Ask whether you can hold your wedding ceremony on the lawn, by the pond or under the pavilion, with the hall as a backup if the weather turns. On your wedding day, the porches are a comfortable place for guests to wait while you step out for pictures. The building is smoke-free, with smoking allowed outside.

• Check open dates on the venue's availability page and call 814-639-0547.
• Walk the lawn and pond with your photographer and videographer at your ceremony hour.
• Ask about catering, bar rules, and photo and video guidelines.

A little about Stoneybottom Celebration Venue

Years ago the property was home of Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 51. A local family bought it in September 2022 and opened it as a celebration venue, and the lodge still meets there each month and holds its annual picnic on the grounds.
