Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Highlands Hall, Jones Mills

A wedding reception at Highlands Hall brings your guests up into the Laurel Highlands near Jones Mills. The hall seats up to 160 and has a hardwood dance floor and an outdoor deck, so your photographer and videographer can move between the party inside and the mountain air outside for wedding photos and video. Next door is Living Treasures Animal Park, home to more than 400 animals, a fun extra for guests who arrive early.

Highlands Hall calls itself a versatile event space for weddings, showers and reunions. A full-day hall rental runs from 8 in the morning until 10 at night, with tables and chairs for up to 140 people included, which leaves time to decorate early and celebrate into the evening. There is also a gazebo you can rent, with chairs, for a four-hour block; the website doesn't say whether ceremonies take place there, so ask if you'd like your wedding ceremony on site.

Food is made on site through the hall's own catering, from appetizer trays to desserts. Guest rooms and suites on the lower level sleep up to 20 people, and the Log Cabin Lodge a quarter mile away takes more guests, both with hot tubs, full kitchens and game rooms. That means the wedding party can stay over, get ready close by, and have pictures from the morning of your wedding day as well as the night.

• Schedule a tour and book your dates through the hall.
• Ask about cleanup, which is part of every rental, and the security deposit.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and where you can take pictures outdoors.
