Wedding Photographers & Videographers at The Barrel House, Chambersburg

A wedding at The Barrel House in downtown Chambersburg gives your photographer and videographer an industrial loft to work with: a three-story former railroad building with 15-foot ceilings, custom lighting and original architecture framing the lower patio, where ceremonies take place under open sky. That loft look gives your wedding photos a setting that feels nothing like a banquet hall.

You can do it all in one building. The wedding ceremony is on the lower patio, the reception fills the first floor, and the bridal suite upstairs, with a king bed and spa bathroom, means the wedding party gets ready just steps away. A heated indoor patio and an outdoor terrace give you a plan for rain or shine. After the last dance, the lofts upstairs sleep up to eight, so nobody has to drive home.

Your wedding reception holds up to 120 guests for a sit-down dinner or a cocktail-style party. The on-site bar serves craft beer, cocktails and mocktails, and the kitchen turns out wood-fired food, or you can bring your own caterer. Four 70-inch TVs can show your photo slideshow. DJs and bands bring their own equipment, which is worth knowing when your wedding videographer plans the audio for the toasts. There's street parking out front, a lot and ramp at the back, and a parking map to share with guests.

• Contact the venue to check your date and build a custom package.
• Walk from the bridal suite to the patio and reception floor with your photographer before your wedding day.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and request the parking map.

A little about The Barrel House

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company built it in 1904. Over the next century it was a warehouse, then a grocery depot, and after Prohibition it became Chambersburg's first beer distributor.
