Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Pasquerilla Spiritual Center and Eisenhower Chapel, University Park

A wedding at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center and Eisenhower Chapel puts your ceremony right on Penn State's University Park campus, on Allen Road. You choose the room that fits your guest list: the traditional, non-denominational Eisenhower Chapel, which the center describes as filled with natural light and seats 125, or the Worship Hall, which holds 450. Daylight in the chapel is good news for your wedding photos, and a wedding videographer will appreciate a quiet, purpose-built room for the vows and the music.

The center welcomes weddings of all traditions, backgrounds and identities, including interfaith celebrations, and there is also a Meditation Chapel for very small ceremonies or blessings of up to 16 people. Your wedding ceremony is reserved in a two-hour block, with a one-hour rehearsal the day before. Ceremonies must end by 6:00 p.m., and by 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays in the Worship Hall, so plan your timeline (and your photographer's) around that.

On your wedding day you bring your own officiant, florist, musicians and photographer. The center asks couples to use one of its approved organists or pianists, which matters for the processional music on your video. Receptions are not held here, so you'll head to a separate reception venue afterward. Guest parking isn't provided at the building; the Nittany Parking Deck is about a five-minute walk away, worth mentioning on your invitations.

• Fill out the center's wedding interest form to check your date.
• Book an approved organist or pianist early.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and where your photographer may stand during the ceremony.
• Plan guest parking at the Nittany Parking Deck.
