About

32 West Eighth, at the Masonic Temple, is one of the most architecturally distinguished buildings in Erie, PA. The exterior is understated; upon entering the Temple the archectural details and decor reveal a hidden treasure. Original woodwork, plaster-relief ceilings, and marble-blocked corridors make the building a truly unique venue for your special day.

Reception/Banquet Spaces– 32 West Eighth has two banquest venues, each is unique in its look and feel.

The Grand Ballroom-

The Grand Ballroom opens up to two-story tall columns which draw your eye to the ceiling with festive plaster relief details. At the front of the room is a stage where the wedding party can dine with a view to all the festivities, or depending on your event, a band or DJ can perform. The Ballroom floor has a suspended hardwood that invites you to dance the night away!

Arcadia Hall-

Larger than the Grand Ballroom, Arcadia Hall gives a more intimate feel with a lower ceiling, bricked walls, and stone and tile columns contain flickering "candles" which create a truly romantic atmoshere.

We got married on 12/31/17 and had an amazing time. We used the Grand Ballroom (upstairs) and truly were blown away by the beauty of this room. I was fully prepared to be setting everything up on the morning of, but to my amazing surprise, when my family and I showed up, everything was already done for us. We made pictures of all the centerpieces and set up exactly as we had planned, including our extra tables like our "NYE Table" which had hats, noise makers and other items for ringing in the New Year. Our place settings were already done for us and just so incredible and such a relief to not feel stressed the morning of. We were allowed to use the coat room, which was a wonderful plus. The staff did everything for us. We did not have to clean up until 01/02, which was another plus. We did not have to worry about anything that night except taking the alcohol with us. When we went in on the 2nd, everything was packed up and ready to leave with us. Truly cannot say enough about this venue! Another plus was being able to bring our own alcohol. We were able to drop it off several days early so we did not have to worry about it in the final days to the wedding. The same was with all of our decor as well.

We had our wedding ceremony in the Lodge Room upstairs and our reception in the Camelot Room. We worked with Marty and his daughter Brittany and they were absolutely amazing! They have been doing weddings for a long time, and it really showed. They were extremely professional and organized and always got back to us in a reasonable amount of time. They always made sure we had everything we needed and did everything they could to make things easier and put our minds at ease. They genuinely wanted you to have the most special day possible. The reception was absolutely wonderful. They had us bring all of our decorations in the day before and show them how we wanted things set up and they took care of the rest. They completed all of the set-up and tear down and even help load/unload the cars. The food was absolutely delicious and the entire staff was very nice, courteous and professional the entire night. Everyone at our wedding had a wonderful time and it was absolutely beautiful. I could not have had a more perfect wedding day :)
