Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Cherry Runn Lodge, Homer City

A wedding at Cherry Runn Lodge in Homer City happens among tall pines. The wooded property has a pond where ducks swim, open plots between the trees and buildings set a short stroll apart, so wedding photos and video can move from the forest to the water and back without anyone getting in a car. The family that runs it even includes a golf cart ride for the couple and the photographer on the wedding day, weather permitting.

Your wedding ceremony takes place at the Barn, an outdoor ceremony spot that works for any size of wedding, and other open areas on the property can be used on request. Before the ceremony you get ready in the Bridal Cabin, which is almost hidden by the pines. The pond beside it is the spot for your first pictures of the day. From the Barn, the reception spaces are less than a minute's walk away.

For your wedding reception, the Eagles Nest is a 6,000-square-foot deck raised high on stilts, with a wide view over the treetops and room for up to 375 guests, so you dance under open sky. A smaller wedding of up to 100 can stay in the Lodge, the original building, where windows surround the dance floor and look into the trees. That glow through the windows, and the open sky on the deck, are worth talking through with your videographer before the first dance. The rental covers a Friday rehearsal dinner and a long Saturday on site, with tables and chairs set up, linens and certified bartenders included. Heaters and a wedding arch are available on request.

• From November through April only the Lodge is booked for weddings.
• Tours are by appointment, so call to see the grounds.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and walk from the cabin to the deck with your photographer.

A little about Cherry Runn Lodge

The lodge was built in 1923 as a campground for executives of the Rochester and Pittsburgh Coal Company and their families. A dance floor, bar and wraparound balcony came in 1989, a local family bought the 22 acres in 2019, and the Eagles Nest opened beside the lodge in 2023.
