Wedding Photographers & Videographers at A Cord of Three Weddings & Events, Hanoverton

Wedding photos at A Cord of Three Weddings & Events in Hanoverton have a lot of old brick to work with. The venue is a restored schoolhouse on 2nd Street, and inside the main hall your photographer and videographer find exposed brick walls, hardwood floors and two fireplaces, with string lights that warm the room once the sun goes down. You can hold the whole day here: getting ready, the wedding ceremony indoors or out, pictures on the grounds and the reception.

Your wedding day starts upstairs, where the bridal suite and a dressing room sit on the second floor, away from the setup below. When it's time, you come down the staircase, a moment worth having your videographer catch from the bottom step. Most couples get married outside, under the covered pavilion or in the open air on the grounds, and there's indoor space ready if the weather won't cooperate. Outdoors, wind can carry your vows away, so ask your wedding videographer how they plan to record the sound.

After the ceremony, guests head into the schoolhouse while you slip off for wedding pictures around the pavilion and the brick building. The hall seats about 120 at banquet tables, so the wedding reception feels close and warm. Tables, chairs, china, flatware and glassware come with the rental, along with furniture and décor for dressing the room. Food and drinks come from outside vendors. The venue keeps a list of caterers and officiants it knows and welcomes others, and you stock the bar yourself.

• Ask for the caterer list and how the bar has to be run.
• Walk the route of the day, from the upstairs suite to the pavilion, with your photographer if you can.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines.
