Ambassador Conference Center

Lynn at the Ambassador made my wedding day so easy! Everything fell into place and was beautiful. We loved the Hemingway room for the reception and got so many compliments from our guests. We loved that the ceremony and reception could be done in the same building! The atrium was perfect for the ceremony! Food was great too! :)

We loved having our wedding at the Ambassador Conference Center. Our wedding ceremony and reception were both held in the Hemingway Ballroom and we couldn't have asked for a better location. The staff were friendly and easy to work with and the food was delicious. Our guests loved the space and especially the mashed potato bar! What a hit! We would definitely recommend this venue to couples looking for a classy, comfortable space to celebrate!

Great experience! Lynn the wedding coordinator is amazing and so easy to work with. With planning a wedding from a different state she was great about giving me suggestions for vendors and helping me organize a timeline. She was able to work in a meeting anytime my husband and I came home. There were no suprises on the day of the wedding and she took care of everything and it was very stress-free. I would choose this venue for sure!

Every staff member is absolutely amazing, especially Lynn. She managed to put together my dream wedding in just 4 days! It was everything we hoped for and more. I cannot say enough good words about everyone that works here. They truly made our day magical and the best day of our lives.

Overall they did an amazing job. There were only a few things we learned the following day we weren't pleased with. While staff was removing plates of food they were scraping them in front of everyone instead of taking them to the kitchen. We were suppose to have a suite for the night, but didn't get one and didn't really get an answer as to why not. Again, overall a great experience and amazing time. We would recommend them to anyone.

We had a great experience with the Ambassador! And Lynn especially was wonderful!! She made the whole experience easy and fun, she was an absolute pleasure to work with!!

Since having our wedding ceremony two weeks ago at the Ambassador Garden Atrium, I have highly recommended to others who are engaged that they should also look into doing their ceremony here as well. Planning an outdoor wedding in Erie is hard to do with the unpredictable weather, so the Ambassador Garden Atrium was the perfect alternative. The room has a glass ceiling that makes you feel like you are outside, while still having your guests indoors with air conditioning in the hot summer months. The room was absolutely beautiful, but it really was the wedding planner, Lynn Reed, who made all the difference for us. She was so organized with the logistics, but also with the decorative pieces as well. We didn't have to worry about a thing and I know that with a big wedding like ours, we greatly appreciated that! It was so wonderful working with her over these last few months and it was such a stress-reliever to have her on our side! My mom said we should have hired her to plan the whole day, not just the ceremony!! We also received so many compliments on the appetizers we ordered for the cocktail hour, but especially the reuben puff pastries!

The atrium room at the ambassador was an absolutely stunning venue for or wedding and reception. They worked with us to make all of ideas come together seamlessly. We received many compliments on how good the food was. Working with Lynn as the coordinator was so easy. She offered great suggestions and remembered every little detail. We would recommend this venue 100 times over.

We chose to have both our religious ceremony and our reception in the Ambassador's Atrium. They were very flexible with us, and set the room up in a way they never had before since it is what we wanted. The room is beautiful, and even though our day started cloudy, the glass roof makes it special, and the sun broke out just as the ceremony ended. Our cocktail hour was in the area just outside the atrium. During this hour, we had our formal pictures in the atrium, and the staff "flipped" the room, taking down the rows of chairs and moving the already set tables out from the walls into position for the reception. At the end of the cocktail hour, we moved back into the atrium, had our toasts and the first dances, and then the buffet was served - which they had set up in the area just outside where the cocktail hour had been. They were masters at resetting things without us ever seeing it! The food was excellent, and again they were flexible, serving all of the dressings and sauces on the side at my request. The servers slid in and out, filling coffee and water, removing used plates, but never disrupting the party. Lynn was our contact throughout the planning, the rehearsal, and the big day. I just can not say enough good about her! She answered questions gladly, let us come up 3 times to look things over as we were planning, and made great suggestions like taking pictures of the napkin colors to take to the florist with us. She also took so much off my shoulders: she contacted all my vendors the week before the wedding to make sure everything was set (florist, photographer, musician, baker) so I didn't have to. She said to bring all our items (favors, photos, etc.) to the rehearsal the evening before and she would take care of all the set up, and everything was just as I wanted it on wedding day! She came to my hotel room personally to escort me down when it was time for the wedding to start. She offered to put our leftover cake in the fridge overnight, and hold the stuff we brought in as well so we could just load it all in the car after check out the next day which was so much nicer than hauling it to the room. Having the hotels connected was wonderful, both for me getting ready, and our out of town guests. We had a block of rooms held for our guests, and their feedback was that reservations were quick and easy. They also gave me a junior suite for the block room price, and that was lovely, so handy to have the extra room when getting dressed for a wedding, with people in and out! The price seemed high when we were first shopping around, but they are such pros at it, we are totally satisfied that we made the right decision. Everything just flowed beautifully, and as I already mentioned, Lynn was amazing. Honestly, not a thing went wrong! And that lack of headaches is worth the price in my book. I highly recommend them!

I used the Garden Atrium for my bridal shower! It was absolutely beautiful and the servers and coordinator were great! The only thing I would say is that the room is very warm as it is like a green house with the windows as the ceiling!

I have wanted to have my wedding reception at the Ambassador for years! It is a gorgeous venue with tons of space to accommodate large or small receptions. Rebecca was such a blessing to work with. She talked us through everything and made sure we had the wedding of our dreams! We could not have asked for a more perfect day. The wait staff was wonderful, so sweet and catered to whatever we needed. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a beautiful, elegant reception!

We loved having our reception at the ambassador. The staff was great to work with, and basically did everything for us. It all ran so smoothly, and was beautiful!

We had our wedding at the Ambassador Center in Erie Pa. The food and service were excellent. The only negatives were: It was hot in the Garden Atrium Room where we had our ceremony (even though we talked to them about it because it was also warm during our rehearsal the night before.) And also: when we were in the holding room no one was there if we had questions etc. We had to look all around for them.

I can't rave enough about the Ambassador Center! Our wedding coordinator, Paula, was amazing and the venue was absolutely gorgeous! We had a separate parking lot, coat check and private entrance for our guests, which was great! No hidden costs. Food was absolutely amazing - and I've been to plenty of places where your clearly only paying for the ambiance - thankfully, this was not one of them! The staff were all very polite and professional. On one of the most important, but also one of the most stressful days of my life, I literally did not have to worry about a thing! It was wonderful! I rated them a 5 in value, because even though this venue is pricey, it is totally worth it! You get what you pay for!

We had our reception in the Garden Atrium. It was beautiful! There is a glass cieling so you get all the natural light, then the stars on clear nights! The food was really good as well. We had the stuffed chicken or the prime rib. We heard no complaints about either. There was an open bar and appetizers, and those were good as well. The planner we worked with there is really nice. She made the whole planning process so much easier. We definately reccomend this venue to anyone!

The food was awesome, the reception was gorgeous, the wedding coordinator was great and always quick to answer my calls. I would recommend this to anyone with a big wedding!

There were no problems. My wedding coordinator went on maternity leave six weeks before my wedding, but the lady who took over maintained contact and every thing went well. The food was amazing.
