It's party time! But where are you going to hold your event? I've curated a list of the best birthday party venues and event spaces in Erie, PA.
I see questions about birthday party venues and event spaces all the time in social media mom groups.
"My son's birthday is coming up and I need some fun ideas for a party."
"I'm hosting a baby shower in February, so it HAS to be indoors."
"My daughter's first birthday is around the corner, and we're inviting 50 people."
I saw a running theme of moms wondering where they could host different types of events–so I thought I'd compile a list of recommended vendors for the Erie, PA region!
My list is broken down into different categories:
active parties - for the kiddos who like to be on the go and have something to do
artistic options - for the families with budding artists
indoor/outdoor venues - for families who may be throwing a shower or first birthday and need just a space to gather.
And as you're scrolling through the list don't forget to capture those special moments with a Milestone photography session! Birthday photos aren't just for first birthdays! Yearly photos are the perfect way to capture how much your child has grown and changed over the past year!
