Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Old Bedford Village, Bedford

A wedding at Old Bedford Village in Bedford takes you back to rural Pennsylvania before industry changed it. The village is made of preserved buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries, and cars stay out during the day, which keeps modern clutter out of your wedding photos and video. The Church at Old Bedford Village is the place for ceremonies, and the village around it gives your photographer and videographer old-fashioned settings to think about.

Your wedding ceremony can be held in the Church, which seats up to 150 people. You bring your own minister and organist, so the words and music are up to you. Afterward, your wedding reception can move to the Welcome Center reception hall, which seats up to 200 and looks out over the village. Pictures among the old buildings feel like a natural next step, but ask the village which areas you can use.

The hall is rented in three-hour blocks, and all events wrap up by 11 p.m. The village is open to visitors from Memorial Day weekend through October 31, Thursday through Sunday, and closed for winter except for special events, so check how your date fits. Village admission isn't included in the rental. For your videographer, a church sized for 150 keeps the vows close and easy to record.

• A deposit holds either space on the day you book.
• Plan your wedding day around the hours when no vehicles are allowed in the village (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.).
• Ask about photo and video guidelines, catering and alcohol.
