Wedding Photographers & Videographers at The Orrmont Estate, Piqua

At The Orrmont Estate in Piqua, a wedding uses all 13 acres for your ceremony, pictures and reception. The grounds hold a mansion, a pond with koi, a spring house, a gazebo and an unusual collection of trees, from ginkgo to bald cypress and dawn redwood, so your wedding photos and video can change scenery every few steps.

You have a choice of outdoor ceremony sites: in front of the mansion, in a meadow ringed by trees, on top of the spring house, on the water porch, or at the gazebo beside the pond. For winter or bad weather, your wedding ceremony moves into the Clubhouse, which seats 250. Each of those spots doubles as a place for portraits afterward, and the pond is lively too; feeding the fish makes the water churn, a fun moment for your videographer on your wedding day.

The Clubhouse is a new building lined with glass garage doors that give clear views of the property and can open for fresh air on a mild day. It has a large reception area, a bar, a catering prep room, coat closets and restrooms, with air conditioning and heat. Wedding packages include 250 white ceremony chairs, 250 black reception chairs, round tables and long harvest tables. Caterers come from the estate's approved list, and because the estate holds an Ohio liquor license, all alcohol is bought through the venue. A sparkler send-off can be added, a lively ending for your wedding videographer to film.

• Call or text to check dates and package options.
• Walk each ceremony site with your photographer and choose your portrait spots.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and getting-ready space.

A little about The Orrmont Estate

Built around 1900, the mansion has about 9,000 square feet, with a library opening onto the courtyard and a sun parlor onto the terrace. The carriage house came a little later, and traces of a quarter-mile race track remain on part of the estate.
