Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Sycamore Grille & Pub, Delaware Water Gap

A wedding reception at Sycamore Grille & Pub in Delaware Water Gap keeps things warm and friendly, with a family-owned restaurant handling the food and the bar. The Event Room gives your photographer and videographer one room to cover, with a full bar, dedicated wait staff and space for toasts and dancing.

Up to 110 guests fit in the Event Room, and for 50 or fewer the restaurant closes a partition and uses half the room, which keeps a small reception from feeling empty. You'll have menu options and a dedicated server. Upstairs, a private dining room seats up to 15, a good size for a rehearsal dinner with your families the night before your wedding day. The restaurant lists wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners and bridal showers among the events it hosts.

Ceremonies aren't listed on the restaurant's website, so plan to get married elsewhere and come here for dinner and dancing. For your wedding video, ask where the toasts will happen and where the band or DJ sets up, and for your wedding photos, ask whether you can step outside. The restaurant takes its name from the giant sycamore tree growing in its backyard, which it calls the oldest living thing in the Poconos.

You'll find the Grille at 92 Main Street on Route 611, just off Interstate 80 near Shawnee, so guests coming from New Jersey or the rest of the Poconos have an easy drive. The restaurant is closed on Tuesdays.

• Call the restaurant to reserve your date and talk through menus.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and time for pictures by the sycamore tree.
• Plan your guest count so you know whether you need the full room or half.

A little about Sycamore Grille & Pub

Built as a boarding house in 1895, the building was nearly destroyed by fire in 1996. It was rebuilt, renamed for the sycamore out back and opened as the Sycamore Grille in 2004, and the current family has owned it since 2016.
