  • Not for you if you prefer a more modern aesthetic
  • Does not provide event staff
  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
The Harper is nestled in a gorgeous plot of land with a bubbling stream and a beautiful pond. If that doesn’t sound perfect enough, the owner, Natasha Learn has made the interior the perfect event venue. The aesthetic alone is very stunning, while still being simple yet elegant enough to match basically any aesthetic you could ask for. What made my event magical was planning my wedding with Natasha and getting her full-service day-of coordination. She is spectacular. My mother and I normally bicker about everything, yet by working with Natasha, she saw both my mother’s vision and my own come into beautiful fruition. We have no connection to Meadville whatsoever and for most of us, it took at least 2 hours to get to Meadville. I would make people drive 10 hours to go to Meadville for the sake of having a wedding at the Harper. The Harper is a stunning venue, that was accessible to any person- elderly, handicapped, coming with many children, disorganized bride, and even a very grumpy grandma. As a side note, any mothers, fathers, grooms, brides, etc. Save the relationships, and sign up for full-service planning. It is the most valuable thing about Natasha/ The Harper!

I cannot recommend Nick's Place highly enough - seriously, if you're planning ANY event in the Erie area, PLEASE consider it. I had been to a couple weddings there before, and both couples raved about the staff, but you can't truly know how incredibly wonderful and helpful they are until you book with them yourself! Truly the best service, and such a gorgeous venue. I was slightly hesitant to tour because I didn't want our wedding to blend in with our other friends' who got married there, but with our vision and special touches, and Katie and her team's guidance and execution, every wedding is so uniquely yours we couldn't be happier with how everything went. I'm certain I will miss something amazing here because there was SO much, but these top three stand out for me: 1. The food was excellent. Many guests have texted me saying they're still thinking about it a week later. Also, we have multiple guests with allergies. We fully expected those guests to just not put those items on their plates and eat the rest. Nick's said, we can do better than that and made special dishes for five or so guests (like salmon and sweet potato for my mom, mashed potatoes pulled aside before garlic was added, and green beans plated before mushrooms added, and storing and delivering special gluten free desserts for guests needing them). They were SO considerate in making sure every guest got the full experience of our wedding and enjoyed every bite. 2. The above-and-beyond hospitality went so far beyond food, too. One guest was on crutches and in pain and the Nick's team brought her ice for her injury. My family was coming from out of state and allowed them to stay in the Inn four nights, compared to the normal 1-2 nights. By the way, the Inn team is incredible too! Every time we walked by the desk they asked how we were doing and if they could get us anything. They checked on us in our rooms getting ready, and in the kitchen while having meals with our family. The whole wedding and extended weekend, both teams not only made sure my husband and I had everything we needed at all times, but also every wedding party member, and all our parents/grandparents. Truly incredible service. 3. Finally, the planning and coordination services that is included in the booking is invaluable! Other venues charge so much for that, or you have to find your own external person. Katie met with us for hours in advance to look at our Pinterest board, talk through our ceremony readings, talk about our families, and find ways to honor everyone and every tradition, with decor that reflects our style. Big bonus: being able to borrow some of their decor is huge for budget- AND environmentally-conscious newlyweds like us. AND, being able to trust their team to set up our dream decor and not have to worry about taking off extra time from work and adding extra stress to our plates to set it all up ourselves day-before (and tear it all down after the wedding) allowed us to be present with family and enjoy each other's company. I've heard from so many newlyweds and to-bes about how their wedding was more stressful than enjoyable, and that was NOT our situation at all. It truly was the Best Day Ever, like Katie said every time we spoke. I cannot imagine a better venue and team and I'm so glad we got to celebrate the start of our forever here. THANK YOU KATIE, SARAH, AND THE ENTIRE NICK'S PLACE TEAM!!! You are truly the best!!!!

Shannon was an absolute godsend in helping us plan for our big day. I could go on and on about how fantastic this place is, but I would probably run out of writing space.

My husband Noah and I were married at the Yellow House last year. We live in Charlotte, NC but our families are from Erie. I had never heard of the house before, but was tipped off by a relative. The property was recently renovated, and was brand new to the wedding market. I’ve been to my fair share of venues in the Erie area, but this one really stood out. There’s nothing quite like it. It’s absolutely beautiful and completely unique. We had such a memorable night, and some of our guests are still talking about it! The venue gets two thumbs up. I would recommend it to anybody!
