Hocking Hills Weddings

Ash Cave

Outdoor weddings are the dream of many a bride and groom. Ash Cave has long been in demand as a beautiful outdoor area for marriage ceremonies. The large open area, overhanging shelter-like ledge and walkway makes it both a beautiful setting and easily accessible to the wedding party and guests.  There are 40 cabins that can be rented at Hocking Hills State Park, and many private cabin rental sites for wedding guests who are from out of town. There are plenty of tourist attractions nearby for everyone after the wedding. Cities close to Ohio such as Columbus, Chillicothe, Cincinnati, Dayton and Huntington, along with West Virginia and the Hocking Hills have become wonderful places to celebrate a couple's love.

Things to note: You will have to hire your own minister or clergy. The waterfall can be seasonal! If there is a drought in the area, streams running through the caves may be dry and now waterfalls exist.

Who to contact about the wedding facilities: Park Office: (740) 385-6842, Ext: 202.  

Write a letter to the park addressed to the park manager and stating:  time of wedding,  date of wedding and place. Also give a daytime phone number and address. You will be sent a permit if the site is available.

Time is limited to 1 hour including set up and tear down of wedding decorations. Floral arrangements have to be taken out after the wedding ceremony and no decorations can be placed on the trees, rocks or natural features. No one can stop the flow of hiking traffic going through the park and wedding traffic must stay on the trail.
