Event Details

We know many of our guests will be traveling from out of town - if you are able to attend and plan to spend Saturday night in Erie, we've arranged discounted prices at three hotels on Erie’s beautiful bayfront (those arriving on Friday will also be able to book their rooms for both nights at the same price per night).

Please book using the links and phone numbers provided below to make sure you're receiving the correct discount! The deadline to book is 8.25.26 at the Marriott or Sheraton, and 8.12.26 at the Cobblestone Inn.

We encourage you to book as soon as possible since hotels along the bayfront tend to fill up quickly during the summer months, and the rooms will have to be released and made available to the general public 45 days out from the wedding. Reservations can be cancelled up to 72 hours before the date without penalty.

Guests are of course welcome to book at other hotels on their own, but we will be providing shuttles at these three hotels to and from the reception at the Battles Estate in Girard, about a 25-minute drive. There will also be an informal after-party at the Marriott Courtyard, which is connected to the Bayfront Sheraton by a skywalk.

We are so grateful for everyone planning to travel to celebrate with us!
