Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Davis-Shai House, Heath

Davis-Shai House in Heath can host a wedding indoors or out on the lawn. Outside, a new garden walkway serves as your aisle and leads guests' eyes to the Veranda, which frames the vows, so the processional plays out straight toward the camera. Inside, the Camelot and Fairview rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, and the Camelot Room has a cathedral ceiling with a crystal chandelier in its cupola. That window light is a gift for your photographer and videographer.

From getting ready to the last dance, the house can host your whole wedding day. An indoor wedding ceremony seats up to 150 in the joined rooms, and the integrated sound system helps your vows come through clearly on the wedding video. Emily's Tea Room serves as the bride's suite, Mame's Parlor as the bridesmaids' suite, and there's a groom suite as well. Ceremony packages include about 90 minutes for photos, inside or on the grounds, and the lawn and gardens are made for wedding photos.

Your wedding reception can stay indoors for up to 125 guests in the Camelot and Fairview rooms, or move out to the lawn for more than 300, with tenting arranged through the house. Catering comes from the house kitchen with chef-prepared menus, and a cash bar with beer and wine is available, with a bartender required for every bar. Events end by 10 pm. Parking is free and paved, and a ramp and elevator reach all three floors. From November the house is decorated for Christmas, lovely for a winter wedding.

• Tours and consultations are by appointment; book one online or by phone.
• Walk the lawn and the Veranda with your photographer before the day.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and the 2027 plan to enclose the Veranda.

A little about Davis-Shai House

The house was built in 1861 beside the Ohio and Erie Canal, with a sandstone foundation brought in by canal boat and bricks fired on site. In 1996 the whole house was moved about a mile and a half to Central Parkway, and today it is owned by the City of Heath and run by the Heath Community Arts Council.
