Wedding Photographers & Videographers at The Casino at Lakemont Park, Altoona

A wedding at The Casino at Lakemont Park in Altoona takes place in a building that has hosted weddings for generations. It was built as a pavilion overlooking the park's lake, and your photographer and videographer can make the most of the historic hall and the park setting around it, for wedding photos before guests arrive and candid moments once the dancing starts.

Event guidelines published by the venue are written for weddings as well as business and social events. There are three rental spaces: the Grand Pavilion, a spacious room with flexible layouts and space for dining and dancing; the elegant Soho Room; and the Third Edition, an intimate room for smaller gatherings. Each comes with tables and chairs, and the staff offers linen rental guidance and vendor referrals. If you'd like to hold your wedding ceremony here too, ask which space works best.

Your wedding reception can fill the Grand Pavilion; the venue has hosted holiday events for more than 300 guests. Food comes from the venue's preferred caterers, listed on its website, and the event guidelines cover the bar and catering rules, so read them early in your planning. For your wedding video, ask where the toasts and the first dance will happen, and how the room's lighting can be set in the evening. Plan a few minutes in the park for pictures on your wedding day.

• Send an inquiry through the venue's website to check dates.
• Read the event guidelines and the preferred vendor list.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and parking.

A little about The Casino at Lakemont Park

The Casino was built in 1889 as a pavilion overlooking the lake, and despite its name it was never a place for gambling. During the trolley-park era it became a hub for dances, concerts and community celebrations.
