We’ve seen it all, from the best to the, well, mediocre. (We can’t really say we’ve seen totally awful but maybe we’re just too nice.) Because we’ve seen so much over the years, we’re here to help you with vendor spotlights. Over the coming months, we’ll highlight vendors that we see as the top of the top so that you can make your most informed decisions. (Because sometimes testimonials from family and friends come with an agenda but we don’t.) First up Venue Spotlight: Ambassador Center.
(You can read about more excellent Erie, PA wedding venues here.)
Really, who could ask for a better location when it comes to ease of use for guests coming out of town? This beautiful space is located right off of I-90, so no complicated directions, no one getting lost. This also means your guests won’t lack for things to do or places to eat before and after the wedding festivities. And to top it all off, it’s still close to the natural beauty of Presque Isle, which is easy to get to in mere minutes.
The Ambassador Center also has a total of 214 attached rooms and suites. Again, making things uber easy for your out of town guests or those local guests who would like to turn your wedding into a mini vacation for themselves. (Highly recommend!)
Let’s take a closer look at what the Ambassador Center has to offer:
