Wedding Photographers & Videographers at 1213 Mezzanine, Erie

A wedding at 1213 Mezzanine on State Street in downtown Erie has a feature most ballrooms lack: a second level. A wrap-around mezzanine overlooks the main floor on three sides, so guests upstairs get a bird's-eye view of the stage, and your photographer and videographer get a high angle on your grand entrance, the toasts and your first dance.

Its stage sits beneath a large chandelier, a natural focal point for honoring your wedding party or exchanging vows if you hold your wedding ceremony here. Confirm a ceremony setup when you inquire, since the website doesn't spell it out. A permanent full-service bar runs along the room, with the option of a second bar for bigger crowds, and a DJ setup can be placed out of sight so the room stays clean in your wedding photos. For a smaller party, you can use only the mezzanine or only the ballroom and stage.

The venue also hosts concerts and themed nights, so the sound and stage are made for live music, which is good news for a band and for your wedding video. Ask how the chandelier and stage are lit after dark, where your videographer can stand upstairs, and which caterers work in the space. The venue doesn't publish a phone number; use the contact form and include your date and guest count.

• Send an inquiry through the website with your wedding day details.
• Tour the ballroom and the mezzanine with your photographer.
