Wedding Photographers & Videographers at The Brewerie at Union Station, Erie

A wedding at The Brewerie at Union Station sets your celebration inside Erie's grand Art Deco train station downtown. The Grand Concourse and the Rotunda, where travelers once crowded the newsstand and the soda fountain, give your wedding photos geometric terracotta details, marble and big open space, and your photographer and videographer will find plenty of character before you even reach the dance floor.

The Brewerie has several rooms, each with its own feel. The Concourse is the big one, with seating for up to 350 guests, a separate bar room, private restrooms and its own entrances, so your wedding reception feels like it has the station to itself. The Rotunda suits a mid-size party, the downstairs room seats up to 125, and the upstairs banquet room seats 55, a good size for a rehearsal dinner. Ask the events coordinator whether your wedding ceremony can be held in the Concourse or the Rotunda too.

Menus run from appetizer trays and buffets to full dinner buffets, and the Brewerie brews its own beer, so a pint of something local can be part of the toast. A few house rules matter for planning: no confetti or glitter, decorations and entertainment must be approved ahead of time, and outside food isn't allowed except desserts. For your wedding video, the Concourse is a long, open room, so ask where the band or DJ will set up and how sound carries there.

• Call the events coordinator to hold your date and pick a room.
• Walk the Concourse and Rotunda with your photographer at the time of your wedding day.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and parking.
