Camp Kon-O-Kwee

Set along the Beaver River in Fombell, Camp Kon-O-Kwee offers a wedding setting that feels relaxed, scenic, and rooted in the outdoors. The property’s wooded landscape and river views create a backdrop that feels private and naturally framed.
Ceremonies often take place outside near the water or within the open grounds, giving vows a simple, meaningful setting. From there, guests move into one of the camp’s gathering spaces for dinner and dancing. The layout supports a full reception while maintaining the property’s easygoing character.
Because the celebration can span outdoor and indoor areas, thoughtful sound placement ensures vows, announcements, and music remain clear and connected throughout the day. When coordinated carefully, the evening flows comfortably from ceremony into a lively reception.
Below is a look at how a wedding at Camp Kon-O-Kwee comes together once guests arrive and the celebration begins.

Lindsay and Shannon (Camp Kon-O-Kwee DJ)

I just love this time of year!  With the weather in Pittsburgh, there’s always a risk of planning an outdoor wedding ceremony, but it’s great to see it turn out perfectly.  Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous for the wedding of Lindsay Orchoswki and Shannon Scott held at Camp Kon-A-Kwee in Zelienople, PA.

While not traditionally a wedding venue, Camp Kon-A-Kwee had the perfect facilities for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.

The weather was fantastic, and being in the camp setting really created a fun vibe.  After the ceremony the guests worked their way up to the main building for cocktails.

After the reception, guests were invited to a campfire, so at every place setting were the most amazing smore’s I’ve ever seen!

Lindsay and Shannon have a tremendous love of music.  I had the best time pulling their playlist together, with so many unique choices.

The sun was setting when the bride and groom had their first dance.

Later in the evening the dancing started, and the newlyweds’ friends and family were hilarious!

My favorite part of the evening was watching Lindsay and Shannon sing and dance together.

At the end of the evening the newlyweds made their exit through a tunnel of the guests cheering.

After the party, the guests all headed over to the campfire to sit and visit.  Having the entire day (and for some, the entire weekend) held at one location really created a fun, relaxed vibe.  Lindsay and Shannon planned the perfect day for their friends and family to celebrate.  This is one wedding day that no one will soon forget!
