Reception and Ceremony Spaces

With Bald Eagle State Park as the backdrop, the lawn is the dreamiest spot for your ceremony. There is room for 125 guests (white padded chairs included through the venue) and the altar even has room for an arbor if you would like! In the chance that there is inclement weather, there is a patio area under a 20’x30’ tent (also included) that can be used as a back up ceremony location as well.

As for the reception, there are three layouts that a wedding party can choose from using either the indoor lobby area or an outdoor tent (or a hybrid of the two) with a max capacity of 130 guests. The traditional indoor reception dinner maxes out at 92 guests, using the lobby area and adjacent covered porch for seating.

One thing that is important to note: this location’s main selling point, other than the views, is the perks. The venue includes a dedicated event coordinator, complimentary cake cutting service, late night pizza delivery after your reception, a wedding day luncheon display for up to 50 guests, a build your own s’mores bar and more!
