Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Three Gables Barn, Carlisle

A wedding at Three Gables Barn near Carlisle takes place on a historic farmstead with views across rolling pasture to Blue Mountain. The reception is held in a limestone Pennsylvania bank barn with original hand-hewn beams, wide plank floors and exposed limestone walls, and outside are old growth trees and 11 acres of pasture. For your wedding photographer and videographer, the farmstead's period buildings and open fields give plenty to work with.

Ceremonies are held outdoors at the heart of the farmstead, surrounded by old growth trees and set between the Bridal and Groom's Suites and the lower pasture. Getting ready happens a few steps away. The bridal suite is spacious and comfortable, and the Groom's Suite has rustic lockers, a leather couch, a large TV and a small fridge, with an outside patio for time before the wedding ceremony.

After the vows, guests head to the Mountain View Patio for cocktails, with large umbrellas for shade and twelve whiskey barrels to use as tables or décor, while you take wedding photos around the farmstead with Blue Mountain behind you. Then everyone moves into the stone barn for your wedding reception. The venue hosts only one event a day, so the property is yours. Ask your videographer to scout the patio and barn with you, since the mountain view at golden hour and the barn's beams both read beautifully on film.

• Call to confirm your date and current packages.
• Walk the farmstead with your photographer at the hour of your ceremony.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and a weather plan for your wedding day.
