Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Erie Club, Erie

A wedding reception at the Erie Club takes place in the Reed Mansion on Peach Street in downtown Erie, a Greek Revival home with classic columns and two torch-bearing figures, often called the goddesses, beside the entrance. That front is a handsome spot for wedding photos as you arrive, and inside, the old mansion rooms give your photographer and videographer warm, period detail at every turn.

The Rotunda, which the club calls the heart of its clubhouse, is its space for wedding receptions and cocktail hours. The formal Main Dining Room can also be reserved for large private parties, and smaller rooms suit the rest of the weekend: the Reed Room and French Room for an intimate family dinner, and Room #4 upstairs, which seats up to 60 at round tables and has a projector, screen and sound system for a rehearsal dinner slideshow. The club's catering team plans menus from its banquet menu, and it also caters off site.

Because the Erie Club is a private club, an event hosted by a non-member must be sponsored by a current member. If you have a member in the family, that's your first call. For your wedding day, ask how the Rotunda is set for toasts and dancing, where your videographer can stand, and how guests move between rooms.

• Find a member to sponsor your event if you aren't one yourself.
• Contact the catering and events office and take the club's virtual tour.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines inside the mansion and on the front steps.
