Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Sheraton Erie Bayfront Hotel, Erie

A wedding at the Sheraton Erie Bayfront Hotel happens a few steps from Presque Isle Bay, and the hotel leans into that view. You can exchange vows with the bay in the distance and a Lake Erie sunset coming, which gives your wedding photos and your videographer a backdrop no ballroom can copy. On a clear evening, plan your portraits for the last hour of light.

You can hold the whole day here. The hotel hosts ceremonies from an intimate group of 50 to a celebration of 200 or more, and your wedding reception moves into the Harlequin Ballroom, which seats 260 for dinner and has room for dancing. The Portside Patio works for a small outdoor gathering, and the Private Dining Room looks out over the bay, a good fit for a rehearsal dinner. Your family can book a block of rooms at a group rate, so getting ready, the ceremony and the reception all stay under one roof on your wedding day.

Marriott Certified Wedding Planners help with the budget, the menu, table settings and your vendor list, and menus can be customized or booked as an all-inclusive package. When the reception winds down, the party can carry on at Two45 Waterfront Grille, the hotel's restaurant and bar. For your wedding video, ask where the toasts and first dance will be, since the ballroom's dance floor is where those moments usually happen.

• Call the hotel's wedding team to check your date and room block.
• Walk from the ceremony space to the ballroom with your photographer at the time of day you'll get married.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines when you visit.

A little about the Sheraton Erie Bayfront Hotel

The Sheraton opened in April 2008 as part of the new bayfront campus, the year after the Bayfront Convention Center next door. A sky bridge still connects the two, so a very large wedding can spill over into the convention center's rooms.
