Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Colony Banquet & Catering Facility, Erie

A wedding at the Colony Banquet & Catering Facility is a classic Erie banquet-hall celebration at the larger event space of Colony Pub & Grille. The hall on West 12th Street is built for a lively wedding reception, and its spacious dance room gives your photographer and videographer plenty of space to follow the first dance and the packed dance floor without bumping into tables.

Up to 300 guests fit here for weddings and larger events, and the hall also hosts bridal showers and luncheons, so you can plan more than one part of your wedding season with the same team. Galas, fundraisers and corporate parties have filled this room for years too. For wedding photos outdoors, the restaurant side of the business is only about a mile from Presque Isle, so if you want portraits by the water or elsewhere in town before dinner, leave travel time in your wedding day timeline.

Food is the draw. Menus are customized, with hors d'oeuvres, buffets for brunch or dinner, and plated dinner packages, so you can match the meal to your crowd. Call for a quick tour and the staff will walk you through the room and answer your questions. For your wedding video, ask where the DJ or band sets up, since a big dance room can echo, and plan where the head table sits for the toasts.

• Call for a tour and to check your date.
• Plan your portrait locations and travel time on your wedding day with your photographer.
• Ask about decorations, photo and video guidelines and parking when you visit.
