If you’re dreaming of a wedding day that blends natural beauty with historic charm, Cacapon State Park in Berkeley Springs West Virginia might just be the perfect spot for you! Having photographed several weddings at this beautiful venue, I’ve learned the ins and outs of planning a seamless event here — I’m excited to share everything you need to know to live out your dream Wedding at Cacapon State Park!

Why Choose Cacapon State Park?
Cacapon offers a gorgeous mix of rolling hills, forested areas, and picturesque lakes that create a magical backdrop for your special day. Whether you envision an outdoor ceremony surrounded by nature or a cozy reception in one of the park’s event spaces, this venue offers flexible options to suit your style AND the opportunity to have an indoor ceremony in the event of a rainstorm. Some popular ceremony sites that couples choose include the gazebo, which is surrounded by outdoor seating and beautiful forest trees.. it reminds me of Bella and Edward’s Wedding in Twilight but with historic charm! The North Terrance is another option, but couples often opt to use this area for cocktail hour. The Ballroom is another popular ceremony location which is an indoor area that offers lots of space and can be used as the reception area as well! If you’re planning a smaller more intimate Wedding, The Old Inn is also another charming option. This is just to name a few! The great thing about Cacapon State Park is the endless opportunities it offers, whether that’s planning your ceremony/reception location or wanting a versatile Wedding gallery with those dreamy nature photos — Cacapon State Park has it all!

Pro Tip: If your Wedding is late May through June, Cacapon State Park’s gorgeous flower fields are in bloom. Another opportunity for beautiful photos to add versatility to your Wedding gallery. Want to see for yourself? Look no further!
