Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Hotel Gettysburg, Gettysburg

A wedding at Hotel Gettysburg puts you right on Lincoln Square in downtown Gettysburg, with shops and restaurants a few steps from the door. Inside, the rooms are full of details your photographer and videographer will love: a hand-painted ceiling inlaid with gold in the Grand Ballroom, 19th-century chandeliers, and the original bank vault door still standing in the Atrium. The College Room has floor-to-ceiling windows over the square, and in the holiday season your guests can see the lit town Christmas tree through them, a lovely touch for winter wedding photos.

You can hold the whole wedding day here, from the ceremony and cocktail hour to the reception and a farewell brunch, and the rooms can be mixed and matched. For your wedding ceremony, the College Room suits fewer than 30 guests, the Stevens Room up to 40, and the Eisenhower Room up to 130. Both of the larger rooms have several windows that bring in natural light, and the Stevens Room looks over the courtyard. Guests traveling in can stay at the hotel and walk out onto the square.

Cocktail hour fits well in the Atrium, under a hand-painted seascape, before the doors open to the Grand Ballroom for dinner and dancing. The hotel does the catering and has a wedding team to plan with you. Under that painted ceiling, the first dance and the toasts make rich footage for your wedding video, and the Eisenhower Room is set up for audio-visual presentations if you'd like a slideshow. Ask about a bridal suite for getting ready, which the hotel has included in recent booking offers.

• Contact the hotel's wedding team to check your date and tour the rooms.
• Walk the route from your ceremony room to the Atrium and ballroom with your photographer, and step out onto Lincoln Square together.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and where guests should park downtown.

A little about Hotel Gettysburg

The Grand Ballroom was originally the Gettysburg National Bank, built in 1814, and it still keeps the bank's vault. The seascape in the Atrium was painted more than 200 years ago and brought back to life in 2001.
