Hocking Hills or Middle Earth?

MY HOME IS IN THE SHIRE-LIKE FOOTHILLS OF THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS.

Living here, I'm constantly reminded of Middle Earth. The Hocking Hills area offers everything from actual Hobbit Holes and unique hideaways to romantic bridges and waterfalls straight out of Rivendell. You can wander through mossy forests that feel like Fangorn, explore mysterious caves and foggy marshes, and soak in epic vistas – though thankfully, we're missing the fiery chasms of Mount Doom! Turn your fantasy wedding or elopement into reality amidst the breathtaking scenery of the Hocking Hills, where epic adventures await.

Getting Married in Hocking Hills?

If you're planning a wedding or special event inside Hocking Hills State Park, you must first secure a Special Activity Permit from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). The great news? The application process is free and easy!
