Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Bloomrose Hall, Williamsburg

Your wedding at Bloomrose Hall in Sterling Township, near Williamsburg, starts with a small white church you can't miss: a bell tower, large cathedral windows and a spot along Five Mile Creek. Inside it is one open room with a twenty-foot tin ceiling, large chandeliers and original wood floors, a lovely setting for wedding photos and for a videographer who wants the whole room in a single frame.

Inside, the church building seats up to 120 guests, so your wedding ceremony can take place right there, with daylight from those tall windows on your walk down the aisle. Next door, the Hall building adds a modern farmhouse-style gathering space for 88, with restrooms, a serving kitchen with a large refrigerator and farmhouse sink, and WiFi. Couples rent the whole property for the day, so the ceremony, dinner and toasts can all happen within a few steps of each other.

Bloomrose is a do-it-yourself venue. You choose your own caterer, photographer, entertainment and other vendors, and tables and chairs come with the rental. A daily reservation gives you access from 8 a.m. to midnight, and you can rent extra days for setup or cleanup. A one-room church can echo, so ask your wedding videographer to bring a microphone for the officiant and your vows. Guests park in the on-site gravel lot.

• Schedule a tour to see both buildings before you book.
• Visit at the time of your ceremony to see how the light comes through the windows on your wedding day.
• Ask the event coordinator about decorating guidelines and any photo and video guidelines.

A little about Bloomrose Hall
