Exposed brick, soaring ceilings, warm wood floors, and a stage that becomes whatever you need it to be. Centennial Hall is Erie's most distinctive wedding venue. Intimate enough to feel personal, grand enough to leave an impression.
From the ceremony to the last dance, every detail of your day unfolds in a space designed for connection. Our flexible layout accommodates intimate gatherings and full receptions alike, with room for a live band, a DJ, or anything in between. This is a venue with a soul and it shows.
We work with your caterer, your florist, your vision. Our team is here to make sure the space is ready so you can focus on the moment. Full bar service, a catering-friendly kitchen, and a dedicated event contact from planning to last call.
"We built this space for the moments that matter. Weddings are exactly that"

Private Parties Done Right
Birthdays, anniversaries, retirement celebrations, reunions. Whatever the occasion, Centennial Hall brings something most private event spaces can't — a room with character. Exposed brick, warm lighting, a full stage, and a bar stocked with Lavery craft beer. Your guests will know this is not a generic banquet hall.
We keep it flexible so you can make it yours. Bring in your own caterer or work with one of our preferred partners. Book a DJ or hire a live band to play the stage. Set up a cocktail hour or go straight to dinner and dancing. The space works around your plan, not the other way around.
Our team handles the setup and breakdown so you can show up and enjoy the night. From the first inquiry to the final toast, we make sure everything runs smooth.
Centennial Hall was built for live performance, but its potential goes well beyond the stage. The architecture alone makes a statement. Soaring arched ceilings, exposed brick, warm wood floors and a room that commands attention before a single chair is set. It is the kind of space that elevates whatever happens inside it.
Film screenings, art shows, community gatherings, cultural celebrations, pop-up markets, fundraisers. The flexible layout, professional lighting and sound, and full bar make Centennial Hall a natural fit for Erie's creative community. Whatever your event looks like, the space can support it.
Erie's artists, filmmakers, and organizers deserve a venue that takes their work seriously. Centennial Hall is that place. Whether you are premiering a film, launching an exhibition, or bringing people together around something that matters, this is where it belongs.
Business & Community
Centennial Hall is not a hotel ballroom. It is not a conference center with drop ceilings and bad coffee. It is a real space with real character, and that makes a difference when you are trying to make an impression.
Corporate meetings, company celebrations, product launches, nonprofit fundraisers, community forums. The room seats comfortably, the AV is ready, and the bar is stocked with Lavery craft beer for when the agenda wraps and the conversation continues.
Bring your team, your board, your donors, your community. Centennial Hall gives every gathering a sense of occasion that a standard meeting room simply cannot.
