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!!! -

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! -

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! -

Alyssa Sent on 09/02/2024The 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! -

Our entire experience with The Harper and it's staff was amazing! Our wedding day (and days leading up to it) went so smoothly and we had the wedding of our dreams. We highly recommend this venue and it's services. Hayley did an amazing jobs coordinating all details and made the whole process much easier. She was a delight to work with, truly showing her passion for her work and creativity. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and wedding day! -

We absolutely loved everything about our experience with this venue!
We absolutely loved everything about our experience with The Harper Event Venue! Everybody that we worked with was so thorough and helpful when it came to making our dream wedding come to life. My husband and I are so thankful for this venue and that it helped us have the wedding of our dreams! We highly recommend the additional services that The Harper provides like the clean-up services and most importantly, the Day-Of-Coordinator. I did not have to worry about anything in the days leading up to my wedding and most importantly, I did not have anything to worry about the day of because our coordinator took care of everything! The venue itself is so beautiful and we were able to decorate it to make it our own. My husband is also in the military and The Harper was very accommodating to our situation and potential changes as well as offered a military discount. We wouldn't have wanted our wedding any other way! -

The Harper is the venue for you.
The Harper Event Venue is absolute perfection. The property and venue is so beautifully done. They thought of every little detail when creating this venue. It can be turned in to any vision or style that you want for your special day. The vision that I had for a classic, elegant and timeless wedding all came together to be more than I could have envisioned. From confirming our wedding date, the planning leading up to our wedding and the actual day of our wedding. The owner, Natasha and our day of coordinator Maggie were an absolute dream to work with. They were professional, timely with communication and were a wealth of knowledge. Without them, I do not think that our wedding would have come together and ran so smoothly. Maggie is an absolute dream to work with! She was my saving grace with all the stress and questions leading up to the wedding. She made all of the little pieces come together and flow perfectly! You 100% need her for your wedding! This venue is without a doubt the best around. Don't wait to secure your wedding date at The Harper! -

Jordan Sent on 11/21/2023Excellent and Trustworthy Venue!
My husband and I were married here for our Fourth of July wedding and it was a breath of fresh air. It was a blessing to have a venue that did not have any "hidden strings attached," were very realistic and honest people, and trusted their clients with their venue space and materials. I would recommend this venue to anyone! Perfect blend of modern and rustic as well! -

THE PERFECT VENUE! It is so beautiful and such a blank canvas that you can make it totally your own. The space and furniture is so gorgeous that you barely even need decorations to make it truly stunning. After seeing the venue online and then touring it, we knew we had to have our wedding there. It was so important to us that the indoor ceremony space was just as beautiful as the outdoor space, as I knew it would be so stressful for us to worry about what the weather would be like the day of. We ended up having the ceremony indoors, and the team seamlessly re-configured the space for us during cocktail hour. One of the best things about the space was also the getting ready room! We loved it so much. The Harper is also between Erie and Pittsburgh, which was important to us because of our guests - and it also allowed us to use vendors from all over the place! Every single time we spoke with a vendor and they knew the wedding was at the Harper, they were so excited. So many vendors said that the Harper is their favorite place to work and that the coordinators are their favorite to work with. We had Maggie for day of coordination, and she was amazing. She brought our vision to life and took so much stress off of us. We had SO many compliments from our guests about how smoothly everything went and how kind Maggie was. I have not heard even ONE negative thing from our guests, vendors, or from other couples about the Harper. It really was perfect. I can't wait to get the rest of our professional photos back to re-live how beautiful the reception space was. -

Every corner is STUNNINGGG and well thought out!
EVERY CORNER IS STUUUNNING + well thought out!! We are a local wedding photography company and want to share about our experience with The Harper. We recently were part of a styled shoot at this venue and have since only had great things to say. The staff was responsive, so accommodating and KIND. They not only treat their couples and their families well, they also treat us fellow vendors with professionalism and respect. Already so excited to continue working here next wedding season. Thank you Harper!! -

Beautiful & Wonderful
We got married at the Harper October 7th of this year and it was beyond beautiful. We received so many compliments about the venue and it's surroundings. Natasha, the owner, is beyond great and very responsive! Maggie was also so much help and just so great to work with, very responsive and easy to talk to!
The bridal suite was so beautiful, my girls and I had so much space to get ready. Everything from the kitchen to the restrooms were perfect. I would choose the Harper again & again! -

Our dream venue!
I have to first start this review by speaking about Maggie. When we decided to book a month of coordinator I’m not sure what we expected but Maggie was above and beyond anything we imagined. She was kind, communicative, very organized, and did so many behind the scenes things that I’m genuinely touched by her attention to detail and her effort on our wedding day. She made our wedding vision come to life and I was blown away seeing everything put together that we planned for over a year.
I knew after the first conversation my husband and I had with Maggie that she would be on top of everything on the big day and handle any issues that could arise. For as much as you plan, things pop up and you’re going to want to go with a person who can handle things with grace. That’s Maggie and the Harper team. My husband and I felt like we were able to be present on our wedding day, which was something that was very important to us. Maggie and her assistants truly made our day a breeze.
As someone who wasn’t sure if a month of coordinator was necessary, after booking with Maggie - that decision was the best one we made. Every venue would be so lucky to have their own Maggie.
About the Harper Event Venue itself- If lived in PA I would be annoyingly recommending them to my neighbors but the next best thing I can do is write this review and say that as an out of town bride I am beyond thankful we booked The Harper for our wedding. It was our dream venue. It has a beautiful outdoor area where we had the ceremony facing the pond and our pictures turned our gorgeous with the modern farmhouse style of the venue. We loved that it’s a “blank canvas” inside that we could create our own style which made the planning process more fun.
Our guests were blown away by the venue, and we are so happy we got married at The Harper. We absolutely loved it. I wish we lived in PA so we could attend more weddings there! If they have your wedding date available don’t wait- book with them! -

Perfection
After I got engaged, I started following photographers on instagram to get ideas for engagement photos. One of the photographers posted a wedding at the most beautiful venue I had ever seen, The Harper Event Venue. The next day we drove to Meadville for a tour of The Harper with Natasha and that evening secured our date!
One word comes to mind when I think about the Harper, and that is absolute PERFECTION. The attention to detail and the versatility of the entire space is nothing short of amazing. From the ceremony space, the outdoor patio, the indoor/outdoor bar, huge dance floor, the get ready room, even the bathrooms are beautiful! It was everything I could have ever dreamed of and more. The only thing more perfect than getting married at the Harper was having Natasha as our full scale wedding planner and day of coordinator. Natasha is truly the sweetest woman I have ever met. Her patience, professionalism, thoroughness, calmness and attention to detail throughout the entire process did not go unnoticed. I will never be able to thank her enough.
I can not recommend The Harper Event Venue and Natasha enough!! -

Loved the harper!
We had our wedding at The Harper on August 18th and it was PERFECT. We hired Maggie for our month of coordination and she was fabulous to work with! She touched base with all of our vendors to coordinate the day, made us a timeline, and made sure the day ran smoothly and that set-up was flawless. She was always available to us and we could tell how hard she was working to make our day perfect! My husband especially loved that she made sure he had a Manhattan in his hand the moment we were done with our ceremony! Maggie and her team even ran out to buy us extra liquor when we ran out a bit earlier than expected!
The Harper as a venue is stunning and I'm so glad we went with it for our wedding! I've only seen a few photos so far but they are gorgeous. We wanted a wildflower theme four our wedding with a lot of tapered candles, votives, and florals and the space lent itself perfectly to our romantic vision! The getting ready space for the bridal party was big enough for myself, 8 bridesmaids, two moms, two hairstylists and two makeup artists. We had the venue at 8am the morning of our wedding which was wonderful since we had so many people to get ready!
I can not say thank you enough to Maggie for being so wonderful, I'm so glad we went with The Harper for our big day! If you're on the fence, I would HIGHLY recommend this venue! -

Cara Sent on 08/27/2023Amazing venue!
We had searched (both online and in person) all over within an hour of Pittsburgh for a specifically perfect venue (modern, contemporary, minimalist with a beautiful outdoor ceremony area) and just couldn't find the right place. When we stumbled upon The Harper (north in Meadville) online, I remember looking at my then fiance in disbelief that we had found IT! The feeling was indescribable as I knew it was exactly what we were looking for. We immediately went to view it and booked our date right after. Natasha, the owner, was excellent in helping us in the beginning... But when Maggie, our coordinator, took over, she went above and beyond all of our expectations! From layouts to decor to my stress levels about possible thunderstorms, she was immensely helpful in every single way. She eased me nerves, she made me laugh, and she just genuinely is a good person who cared about making our wedding perfect. We highly recommend adding on the day-of/month-of coordinating services. Our day truly went so unbelievably smoothly, that I kept looking over my shoulder for something to go wrong... And it just didn't. Maggie and her assistants handled EVERYTHING! I can't imagine our wedding being anywhere else. The Harper has such a special place in our hearts. Thank you Natasha, Maggie, and team!! Highly recommend the Harper and Maggie! -
