Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Rough Edges Brewing (Club Level event space), Waynesboro

Upstairs at Rough Edges Brewing in Waynesboro, a wedding party gathers in a recently renovated second-floor event space that looks out over downtown Main Street. The room has a comfortable, laid-back lounge feel, and those views of town through the windows make an easy backdrop for wedding photos of the two of you with a drink in hand, or for a slow pan on your wedding video as guests settle in.

Up to 55 guests fit in the space, which makes it a good fit for an intimate wedding reception, a rehearsal dinner or an after-party. Rental packages can include a private bar and catering, so your guests have their own bar instead of sharing the taproom. The brewery lists weddings among the events it books, and you arrange yours by email or through the inquiry form on its site.

Downstairs is worth a few pictures too. The taproom fills a restored building on Main Street, with walls and a ceiling stripped back to multi-colored tin, tables and bar tops made from old bowling lanes, and a restored neon sign glowing inside. There's also a beer garden and patio. Outside the door, downtown Waynesboro's brick walkways and flower plantings give your photographer and videographer somewhere to take you for a short walk before the party starts. The event space doesn't list a ceremony, so plan the wedding ceremony elsewhere and gather here afterward.

• Email the brewery early with your date, guest count and the package you'd like.
• Visit with your photographer to see the light in the upstairs room at your party time.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines in the taproom and on the patio on your wedding day.

A little about Rough Edges Brewing

The building on Main Street was once the Waynesboro News Agency. The brewery bought it in 2019 and opened in February 2020 after months of renovation, calling itself the town's first craft brewery in over 100 years.
