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.

Our wedding reception

We just had our reception July 26th 2025. I’m not one to write reviews but we had the absolute perfect day. The wedding coordinator and event planner are amazing so attentive and easy to get ahold of. They are so friendly and will get back to you with any request within 24 hours. We had no hiccups and could fully enjoy our day without having to worry about coordinating any other vendors. Not to mention their food is amazing, ourself and all of our guests could not stop complimenting the dinner. It is a perfect combination of a beautiful bay view while not having to worry about the weather to ruin your day. The Sheraton made our day so perfect and seamless. Do yourself a favor and make your day stress free and book the Sheraton!!!

Very happy with the outcome of our day!

We had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at the Sheraton this past February and it was a wonderful experience overall. I can’t thank everyone there enough for being so welcoming and knowledgeable. The team works so well together, bringing our vision to life. Working with Brianna initially, she was very knowledgeable in the whole booking process, and answered all of our questions right away. We also had the opportunity to work with Taylor, who helped us along the way and is very kind, answered all of our questions promptly, responds to requests and emails, and makes the changes we requested right away. Example: We wanted to change one of the offered menu options to a different protein and they honored our request. We were also able to meet Bridget, who was wonderful!! She was so easy to talk to, made sure everything was running smoothly and perfect the day of our wedding. The decor was exactly what we envisioned and requested, we were also able to get our decorations ready the night before, and it was extremely helpful! Taylor and Bridget also helped us bring our heavy boxes with decorations inside, and constantly checked in on us. We also received so many compliments from our guests about the team the day of the wedding. They made sure all of our guests were taken care of, and were constantly on the move refilling glasses and cleaning up. The kitchen staff followed all of our requests thoroughly for the menu, and made all of the necessary changes we implemented on the meals. The only thing we would change is to have the food tasting separate from the planning day. When we had our food tasting, it was a little difficult to focus on the food and talk it through when we were also discussing the timeline packet and what the flow of the day will be with the team. It would be great to have just a food tasting day, where you’re left alone to talk things through and then make a separate day to go over the packet. Overall we had a great experience and the Sheraton team made our wedding planning easy, as they are a wonderful staff and we will absolutely host another event at the Sheraton again! I will also recommend working with Taylor and Bridget to anyone else who chooses to host their event there! Thank you again for helping make our day great!

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!

It could not have been the best day ever without the lovely and passionate staff at the Sheraton

My husband, family, friends and I were more than thrilled with the outcome of our day. The staff were so understanding and accommodating of our needs throughout the whole entire planning process. Especially Bri, she was eager to make our day perfect and would respond to us quickly when we had questions or concerns. The banquet team lead by Christina was top notch. drinks were always full, dishes and tables were always cleared. The food prepared by the banquet Chef Michael was out of this world. We offered the most tender Short ribs I have ever tasted. We were blown away with the amount of food they made with such high quality at the same time. Not only did the staff make our day amazing but, the prime location directly on Lake Erie made the photos magical. Our favorite photos were taken during sunset on the waterfront patio at the venue. We highly recommend this venue!

Choosing the Sheraton was the best choice ever!!! Tim Gilbert was the most amazing person to work with!!! There was not one bad moment in my planning or my wedding day! Tim made the planning go soooooo smoothly and made the day better than I could have ever imagined. He decorated the ballroom for the wedding reception amazing and always made me requests happen! Just before my wedding Tim informed me they were getting new carpet in the ballroom where my reception was about 2 weeks before my wedding. I emailed Tim informing him that I have a very bad allergy to new carpet fumes asking if they could make sure it will be aired out in time for my wedding and he went one step further and had it delayed till after my wedding just to make sure I had no problems! When my florist messed up and never left me a throw away bouquet for the reception, Tim started looking around at flowers from the trellis in the ceremony room to make me one to throw !!!! The Sheraton is the most amazing place ever to get married. My wedding day and rehearsal dinner were more than I could have ever imagined and it was better than what I dreamed of. Tim is the best person in the world to work with and is absolutely incredible at his job! Not only was everything incredibly beautiful, but the food was amazing and the service was above and beyond. All of my guests said it was the best wedding they had ever went to and that it was the best food they had ever had. The Sheraton truly made my day the best day ever.
