Everything we could dream of!

We cannot express how much we appreciated the hard work and dedication the Harper showed us for our wedding. The venue was gorgeous, modern, and clean. Our photographer never ran out of photo locations due to its overwhelming amount of beautiful spots. Maggie, our day of coordinator, never missed a beat. She helped us feel so relaxed and confident that our wedding would go through without a hitch. Our guests couldn’t stop gushing about the venue and we are so excited to have found a gem in the Harper!

Truly Perfect!

The Harper was the perfect space for our wedding. We wanted something that could hold 300 people inside and was customizable and flexible and we got all that and more from this space. I cannot speak highly enough of the bridal suite area and how huge it was to have such a spacious, separate space to spend time in. Additionally, we used The Harper's Day of Coordinator services and Hayley did a fantastic job and truly made the day run so smoothly. The venue has worked with so many local vendors now too that even working on a quick engagement timeline, we were able to find many people through The Harper's connections, all of whom were familiar and a well oiled machine when it came to knowing how to work with the space. I highly recommend this venue!!!

Great Hospitality

My husband and I got married in December of 2024. We really valued hospitality and making sure those celebrating with us felt welcomed - and The Harper was the PERFECT place to hold our wedding. We noted the timeliness of replies of the staff for any questions we had and how clean and organized their venue was. While preparing, they were extremely gracious in opening up their venue for group touring to get measurements and layouts and ask any questions we had. The staff was incredibly helpful and always kind. The venue was spacious enough to host our 200 guests with ample dancing space. They are beautiful hosts for your special day from bathroom provisions to decorations around the building. We had the most perfect day and we are so thankful for their hospitality and helpful responses!

Winter Wonderland Wedding

All jokes aside, we chose the Harper for many reasons (the outdoor ceremony space, the beautiful blank slate of a indoor venue - it's modern, it's barn-esque, it's timeless, it's everything) but the main reason we decided to book was because of their full wedding planning option and Maggie was so beyond worth it. If you're looking to fully enjoy every aspect of your wedding day - she's your girl. I was a "hands-off" type bride - she handled everything. There was not a single aspect of our day that I would change and that is all thanks to her. I did not experience a single ounce of stress and we've gotten SO many compliments on our day. I cannot recommend her or this venue enough!

We LOVED The Harper!

We had an amazing experience at the Harper for our wedding! We went with the day of coordinator and Natasha made everything so smooth and organized. As the bride I was worried I would be caught up in the details the day of but I was able to really relax and enjoy myself and time with my friends and family. I loved how I could customize how much help I wanted with the wedding and able to add on services like the day of coordinator and the clean up service. We had family both in Erie and Pittsburgh and this venue was the perfect spot and easy enough to get to for both sides. I highly recommend this venue for anyone planning a wedding in the area!

simply the BEST

From the moment we toured the harper to the days after our wedding I cannot recommend the Harper and their team enough. They are quick to respond, beyond helpful, and Hayley our day of coordinator went above and beyond to make sure our day ran smoothly! The venue is beautiful, clean and well kept! Thank you Natasha, Hayley, and team for the most AMAZING wedding day!

The best wedding venue around!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful my experience was with The Harper. The day of coordinators are an absolute must and made the month leading up to our wedding and day of so seamless. They went out of their way to make sure the day was perfect and that myself, my husband, and our families were taken care of at all times. I personally worked with Maggie and Shauna for my wedding and they could not be more professional, kind, and great at what they do. The Harper and their team is without a doubt the best. I could not imagine a more perfect day and it wouldn't of been possible without them. We could not recommend this venue more!
