About this vendor
32 West Eighth is housed in the historic Masonic Temple of Erie. Built in 1909, the Temple is one of the most architecturally distinguished buildings in the City of Erie. The original woodwork, plaster-relief ceilings, and marble-blocked corridors are unmatched in any other building in the city.
We make you our priority at 32 West Eighth. Your event will be characterized by stately architecture, superior customer service, and exquisite catering. Hosting your special day within this historic venue will ensure you and your guests a one-of-a-kind experience.
32 West Eighth features three unique spaces all with distinctive characteristics to make your day memorable.
Start the next chapter of your life by holding your ceremony in our majestic Lodge Room.
Ceremony Space– The Lodge Room
The Lodge Room is perfect for wedding ceremonies – its spacious floor, stately columns and plaster relief coffered ceiling adds an air of elegance to your wedding.
Continue the celebration of your love in one of our two banquet spaces, each unique in its look and feel.
The Grand Ballroom-
Entering from the Foyer, the Grand Ballroom opens up to two-story tall columns which draw your eye to the ceiling with festive plaster relief details. Front and center is the stage where the wedding party can dine with a view to all the festivities. The Ballroom floor is a suspended hardwood that allows you to dance the night away!
Arcadia Hall-
While larger than the Grand Ballroom, Arcadia gives a more intimate feel with a lower ceiling and stone columns with flickering "candles". The Peacock Fountain and Fireplace add a quaint, old-world charm to the space and is perfect for themed events.
No matter your vision, the staff at 32 West Eighth will work with you to make your dreams come true!

We had our wedding at the Historic Masonic Temple of Erie, and it was truly everything we dreamed of and more. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking from the stunning Grand B...
allroom where we held our reception to the elegant Lodge Room that created the perfect setting for our ceremony. The entire building is rich in character and incredibly photogenic, with so many unique spots that made our photos unforgettable.
There was plenty of space for all our guests to feel comfortable, and the flow between rooms made the entire day seamless. What really stood out, though, was the kindness and support we received from everyone involved. The staff and even the Freemasons themselves went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel truly cared for, and it meant the world to us.
Our wedding day was perfect, and we can’t recommend this venue enough to other couples looking for a unique, beautiful, and welcoming place to say “I do.”

We chose the Masonic Temple Ballroom which is upstairs. They have the camelot room downstairs which has low ceilings and more of a castle feel. The ballroom was gorgeous..wood floo...
rs..high ornate ceilings..and the cost was very reasonable compared to hotel ballroom prices etc. The only thing is that management is very scattered so you need to stay on top of things. I stopped in the day of my rehearsal dinner and the a/c was broken. Everyone kept saying it wasnt, but I had to insist on having an AC person come look at it while I was still there. Food was great-catering is done by sabellas, they are def on top of things! Easy to email and get ahold of as well.
