We had the most perfect winter wedding at Oglebay, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From start to finish, everything was absolutely flawless. The venue itself was stunning, with the winter setting adding the perfect touch of magic to our day. The food was fantastic—our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! The bar was kept busy all night, but the staff never missed a beat, ensuring that everyone had what they needed. They served our guests promptly and efficiently, and every detail was handled with such care. Oglebay -especially our wedding coordinator, Lauren, truly went above and beyond to make our day special, and we are so grateful for their incredible service. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful and seamless wedding experience!

Our venue offers a memorable, romantic and serene natural setting amidst the rolling hills of West Virginia. Sitting in the shadows of the highest peak in the eastern portion of West Virginia. Cacapon Resort State Park offers 6,000 acres of exciting outdoor getaways all year-round. The word Cacapon is a derivative of a Shawnee Indian word meaning "medicine waters," a reference to the area's mineral waters that have been renowned throughout history for their healing powers. The park is frequented by both nature lovers and adventure seekers from around the state, as well as nearby cities such as Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Cacapon Resort is also a draw for history buffs due to its proximity to the historic town of Berkeley Springs and Harpers Ferry National Historical Park.

We booked our April wedding at Cacapon and it was perfect. We booked the Old Inn for the Rehearsal Dinner and as a place for us and the bridal party to stay. The ceremony took place out on the terrace and the reception was inside the ballroom. Everything was perfect!
