Weddings In The Cave!
Imagine A Striking Wedding Backdrop…
…distinguished by natural wonder and millions of years of geological evolution. Limestone walls glisten in this majestic underworld. A crystal clear river bubbles below.

Now imagine exchanging your wedding vows on The Bridal Altar with a glowing calcite heart. You can be standing among friends and family, surrounded by ancient history and the footprints of a bygone era, the venue honors the past as you step toward the future. In this unique and intimate setting, you will transcend the mundane trappings of terrestrial life.

Following a tour of the cave and a boat ride on The Lake of Venus, celebrate in the homespun atmosphere of the Tudor-style Visitor Center. Breathtaking views from our dining room and surrounding patios set the stage for a romantic and memorable day. More than 650 weddings have been performed in the cave! You can be next!

Reviews of Howe Caverns

Look no further for the most unique wedding venue around. Howe Caverns has been offering weddings at their Bridal Altar inside of the cave for over a century. When DH and I got engaged, we knew we wanted a secular wedding ceremony that really stood out. DH's childhood of visiting the cave sealed the deal for us. April at Howe Caverns helped us organize the date and time and gave us contact info on the officiant who regularly does their ceremonies. Everyone was extremely accommodating, including allowing the couple and our photographers down in the cave an hour before the ceremony to take photos. The cost simply can't be beat: it cost us less than $200 for our entire ceremony! And that includes a full tour of the caves afterwards! We used the venue savings towards a top-notch photographer who captured absolutely stunning and unique wedding photos. They also offer on-site lodging in their motel and pavilion space for a reception, but we did not use these. The only downside is the restricted ceremony size: the caverns requires a max 40 people in your party total, including photographers. Because of this, we couldn't invite extended family and only our immediate family of 15 persons could attend. If you are looking for a unique place to have a small ceremony, Howe Caverns is absolutely perfect.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
