If you’re looking for views of the lake and expansive views of the sky and sunset and natural beauty and great food and great planners, we’ve got the place for you in this Venue Spotlight: Lake View Country Club. (You can see their website here.)
If you’re from Erie, it’s likely you’ve been to Lake View Country Club for a wedding or an event or even to, well, play golf. It’s definitely one of those places that everyone knows. It’s pretty iconic that way.
And as always a bit of a side note: we’ve been doing this Matt Mead wedding photography gig for some time now and we observe everything at every venue from a sort of behind the scenes privilege, and so when we share a venue, you can be sure, it meets our critical eye’s standards. You can read about more wedding venues we love.
Let’s take a closer look at Lake View Country Club.
A bit of background
Lake View Country Club was dreamed up and brought to life in the late 1950s. A small group of visionaries thought it was possible to bring a championship caliber golf course to the bluff overlooking the town and vineyards of North East, PA and, of course, the big, blue, breathtaking expanse of Lake Erie itself.
If you have your wedding here at just the right time, the smell of those vineyards will fill the air. (Who from Erie doesn’t love that time of year?)
The developers of Lake View Country Club carved it out of the hillside to provide the most spectacular views of the area. There was nothing else but Lake View that it could be named.
Those views have distracted many a golfer, but they provide the perfect backdrop for your wedding photos.
Enough about golf… what about your wedding?

Testimonials about Lake View Country Club
Though we think the photos kinda speak for themselves, hearing from people who have had or attended weddings here can always be helpful when you’re making a decision as important as this:
I went for a wedding and the reception afterwards. Everything Lakeview did was five stars. Arranging for the wedding party to get to the perfect spot overlooking the lake for the wedding. Transportation to and from. The reception. And the food was outstanding; beyond five stars. (Don)
We had my daughter’s September wedding reception here. The coordinator was so accommodating and easy to work with. The food was delicious and portions were huge. The staff was great. We were so very glad we chose the Lake View Country Club and would do it again in a heartbeat. (Deb)
