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!
