Small and starry: that's a wedding at the Cincinnati Observatory, on top of Mt. Lookout in Cincinnati. The observatory offers special event and wedding rentals in its historic buildings, and on a clear night your guests can look through a telescope that is more than 185 years old. For your photographer and videographer, a telescope dome, old brass and the night sky make wedding photos unlike anyone else's.

Right now the observatory is booking only smaller events, up to 40 guests, while its larger building is renovated in 2026 and part of 2027. A formal seated dinner works for up to 25. That size suits an intimate wedding: a few words among family, a toast, and a turn at the eyepiece if the weather cooperates. If you'd like your wedding ceremony here as well as dinner, ask the historic facilities manager how the space can be set. In a small room, a videographer can capture every word without much effort.

The Basic Package runs Sunday through Thursday for up to four hours, and the Premium Package runs Friday or Saturday for up to six hours, both including setup and teardown. Rentals include navy table linens, dining, buffet and cocktail tables, and 50 black folding chairs. You can bring your own items and do a walk-through the day before between 9 and 4. Telescope viewing always depends on the sky, so plan your wedding day timeline with a backup in mind.

  • Send the private event rental inquiry form or call the observatory about dates.
  • Choose a weekday for the Basic Package or a weekend for the Premium Package.
  • Ask about photo and video guidelines inside the domes.

A little about Cincinnati Observatory

By its own account this is the country's oldest observatory, and it still runs as a working 19th-century observatory with two historic telescopes. The University of Cincinnati owns it, and its Herget building is expected to reopen in summer 2027.
