Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Bella Dawn Events, Garrettsville

A wedding at Bella Dawn Events near Garrettsville happens in an old building with a lot of character. Inside, exposed rustic wood walls and beams give your wedding photos and film warm, textured backgrounds, and outside there are more than five acres of green space with trees and a water feature. Your photographer and videographer have both settings within a short walk.

You can spend the whole day here, from the wedding ceremony to the reception. The venue has an outdoor wedding space with seating, a cocktail hour area with high-top tables, and grounds for pictures of the two of you and your wedding party. Getting ready happens in the bridal suite, set in a restored colonial cottage on the property and kept for the bride, bridesmaids and mothers all day. It has a meeting area, a kitchenette and a modern glam room, a calm place for your photographer to capture the dress and the details before the ceremony.

Your wedding reception takes the inside space, which holds up to 175 guests, with room for a DJ and a dance floor. Larger packages include a coordinator from noon to midnight, setup and teardown, and a security officer. For a small wedding day, there's a micro option for up to 50 people over four hours. Ask how catering and bar service work for your package, since the venue works with licensed caterers and bartending services it approves. Outdoor vows can catch wind, so talk with your wedding videographer about microphones for the ceremony.

• Schedule a tour, then secure the date with a deposit and contract.
• Walk the grounds and the cottage with your photographer to plan the timing of your wedding photos.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and a rain plan for an outdoor ceremony.

A little about Bella Dawn Events

The building is about 200 years old, likely built in 1825, and served as a church for many years before it became a general store in the 1980s. A mother-daughter team bought the property in 2022 and opened it as an event venue in November 2024 after a full renovation.
