Anthony Wayne House

We are getting married this May at Anthony Wayne House, but I couldn’t wait to share how stunning this property is!! It is an absolutely dream and JAM catering makes the process so seamless. AND the food is delicious!

4/21/23: Wow. Just wow. Came here as a friend of my lives in Erie and Erie PA history intrigues me. *!CASH ONLY both tour and gift shop currently!* One of the figures that has their fingerprints all over Erie history in regards to US Histirical figures is Anthony Wayne. We arrived just as the tour times were opening. (1pm) and an amazingly friendly lady named Linda Hawley greeted us. The knowledge Linda has not just about Anthony Wayne and the Wayne family, but the homestead is incredible. Linda spent so much time giving us details and knowledge about the Wayne family, Anthony, and the homestead! Linda patience and time, we were so blessed to have gotten to meet her. Do want to offer a few suggestions; don't plan on going and expecting/wanting a "Independence Hall" sort of tour. 20 minutes. Boom. In and out. I suspect with Linda's knowledge she can provide ANY level of tour you might want. BUT! Trying to squeeze close to 350 years of history into 20 minutes can be... Limiting. We came to this area that afternoon specifically to visit Anthony Wayne's final resting place (about 8 minutes away) and the homestead. If you are huge into history in general, do yourself a favor and plan on giving the tour ample time. The house is incredible well preserved, the artifacts they have on display are ASTOUNDING, and just someone like Linda who knows so much, even down to listening to how they recreated the exact paint colors and how they found the paint is so interesting. My friends husband in Erie is like me, he is super into US History and the history of his area, that if I can try to succeed in visiting again with him, I want to go back. Such a wonderful experience with Linda listening to and aborsbing knowledge. Highly recommended!!!

I'll be getting married at the Anthony Wayne House in September 2023, and I am unbelievably excited. I knew I was going to like this venue after finding it online and seeing the beautiful pictures and positive reviews from past weddings. After visiting the venue last fall and working with the AWH team on my wedding day logistics since then, I feel even more sure! The grounds are beautiful, and the JAM catering team has crafted menus and packages that are both affordable and luxurious. These pros know what they're doing, and it puts my mind at ease! Highly recommend.

i just had my wedding at AWH, overall great experience but i wanted to give my honest pros/cons: the wait staff and the wedding planners are fantastic! Payton and Heather were great and the assistants the day of kept me fed and hydrated and i felt so taken care of! the venue itself is insanely gorgeous!!! The cons i felt were as follows: the beef brisket we had at the wedding tasting was amazing, but the brisket the day of was undercooked and not very edible. the potatoes were undercooked. another guest complained about the spinach, and the side veggies were also undercooked. for the amount of money you pay, your food should taste good! the signature drink also tasted bad and did not seem like it had any alcohol or sage syrup in it at all. it tasted mostly like club soda and we bought extra vodka specifically for that. additionally, i don’t know if this should’ve been the dj’s job or the venues job but it wasn’t made clear enough when the fire pit was open for s’mores, when coffee was served, where the cake was, etc etc, so i feel my guests missed out on some things. I was also surprised at how many uncharges there were on practically everything, but that’s probably standard at every venue. Overall, I had a great night and was very happy with my venue, i just wish the dinner was better as a lot of my guests did not enjoy it. they did say however that the butternut squash ravioli was great!

Attended a wedding there . It was outside and was done very nicely. The food Was excellent and we had a very good time.
