Real Wedding Moments from Merrick Hollow

From quiet, emotional getting-ready moments to joyful portraits in the woods, this day was full of memories. The bride wore a floral-lace gown that fit the venue's romantic vibe perfectly. Their ceremony included a group prayer with family and friends, and they danced the night away in heart-shaped sunglasses under glowing marquee letters.

Tips for Planning Your Merrick Hollow Wedding

• Time Your Ceremony: Golden hour is STUNNING through the trees. If possible, plan your ceremony 1.5 hours before sunset.

• Wear Comfortable Shoes: The stone and forest paths are beautiful, but uneven—opt for bridal flats or block heels.

• Add Personal Touches: Statement florals, meaningful prayers, or custom signs feel right at home here.

• Getting Ready Lighting: The natural light in the getting-ready suite is perfect—use that space fully for makeup, letter reading, and robe shots.
