The premier wedding venue

The Sheraton Erie Bayfront is the premier wedding venue in Erie. Brianna the event manager is up to date on current trends and is also sensitive to the couples traditions , priorities and budget in the wedding process. Brianna met with us multiple times , arranged several meal tastings and even a tasting with the wine manager and worked to get every detail of our daughter’s wedding perfect. Brianna even suggested a new trend of the charcuterie presentation and worked with the chef to make an impressive display which was the highlight of the cocktail party. The diamond wedding package provided all the essentials of an exquisite wedding. The meal and wine selections were raved by our guest. Brianna is also experienced in coordinating all of the essential and
Best local vendors. In addition - our guest enjoyed the amenities of the newly renovated Sheraton Bayfront. The guest gathered all weekend long in all areas — the bar with live entertainment, coffee shop area, club space and restaurant while enjoying the bayfront views and comfortable rooms. Our guests were pampered and cared for from check in to check out. We continue to get notes and text from guest from all over the country that our wedding “was the best ever.” Simple advice- Book the Sheraton Bayfront for your wedding. It was the decision that made our wedding very special for all.

Summer 2024 Wedding

We had our wedding reception at the Sheraton in June.

The majority of our guests were traveling in from out of town. Erie holds such a special place in our hearts, so we wanted our family and friends to experience what we love about it, especially during the summer months. Having a large hotel room block and our reception at the Sheraton was perfect for that, and extremely convenient. We were especially happy to celebrate our wedding weekend in the newly renovated hotel.

Our guests raved about everything from their rooms, to the views of the lake and marina, the drinks, and the easy accessibility of the Bayfront Landing area and downtown.

I had a very specific vision for our reception and the Sheraton staff along with various vendors truly executed on that. I am so thankful for their attention to detail and everything they did to make it a beautiful event.

It was such a memorable day and weekend that we will forever cherish!

Amazing Wedding Venue

Our daughter and son in law got married at the Sheraton and the venue couldn't have been better. The process was made so easy by Bri, she is knowledgeable on all things wedding related and was there for us every step of the way going above and beyond. The family still talks about Chef Michael's delicious food and hats off to the bar for all the fantastic drinks. They helped with so many details making it much easier on the parents on the bridge and groom. They helped with decorations, flowers, cookies, accommodating the band etc. I would plan another wedding there tomorrow!
