FAQ

A few of the most frequently asked questions about photogrpahing weddings at Freedom Hill Banquet & Event Center

I highly recommend getting ready at Freedom Hill. Freedom Hill offers large dressing rooms for both the guys and the girls to get ready in, which allows you not to feel so rushed by adding in extra travel time to your wedding day. 

An afternoon ceremony would be great at Freedom Hill. Exact time depends on the season. In the summer, I recommend a later ceremony starting between 4pm and 6pm and in the fall, I recommend an earlier ceremony starting between 1pm and 3pm. 

Freedom Hill has many beautiful locations for portraits, but I recommend taking family formals just past the patio in the yard. It allows for easy access for those who have difficulty walking, and provides great light! 

I recommend planning on 20-45 minutes for bride and groom portraits. There are several beautiful locations for portraits at Freedom Hill to capture. 

Freedom Hill is a great year round location. One question to ask before booking your wedding, is if there will be a concert at the Amphitheatre? The Ampitheatre isn't too far from the banquet center, if a concert is going on, you will not only hear it, but may also experience concert attendees walking across the lawn.
