“So I DJ'ed a beautiful wedding here on June 29th and let me be the first to say THANK YOU for having me, I had a FANTASTIC time.”
From the reviews
It's wonderful they sponsor Erie Roller Derby! When we saw a game here though, the airconditioning was set to freezing. Other than that, great location with decent game food and drinks.
Excellent venue in a beautiful waterfront setting. Enjoyed the Curtze Food Expo with over 300 vendors🥩🥨🥦👩🍳 Free parking is available but get there early to avoid a long walk.
Went for the Tall Ships. Such a great area for an event like this. Looking forward to returning in 2028!
So I DJ'ed a beautiful wedding here on June 29th and let me be the first to say THANK YOU for having me, I had a FANTASTIC time. Thank you to Ben who brought me in this afternoon and worked side by side with me, as was the first of many friendly faces I saw tonight.
Getting married at Bayfront Convention Center
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
