Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Sauder Village, Archbold

Choose a wedding at Sauder Village in Archbold and you get a whole historic village to wander for your wedding photos: tree-shaded lawns ringed by old buildings, a 1920s Main Street and a bandstand straight out of the roaring twenties. Your videographer can follow you down a street that looks a century old, then cut to a garden courtyard with water trickling in the background.

There are three outdoor settings for your wedding ceremony. The Village Green sits in the Historic Village, surrounded by historic buildings and shaded by trees. The 1920s Bandstand on Main Street suits a vintage theme, and the Heritage Inn Courtyard is an intimate garden space with a water feature, best for smaller weddings. Ask the sales team about indoor options in case of rain.

Your wedding reception can be grand or cozy. Founder's Hall seats up to 500 for a meal under a large chandelier, with room for dancing. The 1920s Main Street Theatre seats 80 to 90 for dinner and connects to a speakeasy with specialty cocktails and a full bar, or you can rent the entire Main Street for the evening. The Barn Restaurant hosts rehearsal dinners. Hub Haus Brewing Company is the preferred caterer, though other licensed and insured caterers are welcome. Guests can stay on site at the Heritage Inn, where the village can hold a block of rooms, with suites for the couple, so the wedding day can start and end in one place.

• Call the Sales Department to check dates and spaces.
• Walk your route from the Inn to the ceremony site and reception with your photographer.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines in the Historic Village.
