Wedding Photographers & Videographers at 1835 Event Hall, Covington

Exposed brick walls and the original decorative tin ceilings set the tone for a wedding at 1835 Event Hall in downtown Covington. That texture, overhead and behind you, gives your wedding photos and video real warmth. The hall's gallery also shows a mantel in the main room, a natural spot for a picture of the two of you or your whole wedding party.

The Main Hall covers 3,500 square feet and holds up to 200 guests. You get a bride's dressing room with seating, a makeup area with mirrors, a mini fridge and a coffee maker, plus a groom's room and a wedding party lounge with games and a TV. That means your photographer can capture getting ready, the first look at your dress and the nerves before dinner, all under one roof.

Your wedding reception has room to spread out. A large built-in bar sits inside the Main Hall, and the Bar Room holds up to 75 people while the rustic Speakeasy holds up to 50, handy for a cocktail hour or a quieter corner later in the night. Tables, white chairs and black or ivory linens are provided. You bring your own alcohol, served by the hall's licensed bartenders or approved bartenders, and you can hire any licensed, insured caterer. Candles must be battery operated. Ask your wedding videographer to scout the room for the toasts and first dance before the wedding day.

• Contact the hall early to check your date and package.
• Ask whether your ceremony can be held in the hall as well.
• Walk the space with your photographer and ask about photo and video guidelines.
