The Kahkwa Club in Erie, Pennsylvania, offers a blend of timeless elegance and versatile spaces that make every wedding unique. I've had the pleasure of photographing two weddings here, each with its own distinct charm.
One featured a lush outdoor tented reception that felt like a garden party dream, while the other utilized the club's elegant ballroom, complete with a live band and ample space for guests to mingle and dance.
The staff's attention to detail and the venue's picturesque surroundings make it a standout choice for couples seeking both sophistication and flexibility.

While both weddings I photographed held their ceremonies in nearby churches, The Kahkwa Club offers beautiful options for on-site ceremonies. The Sunset Room provides an indoor space with large windows overlooking the 18th fairway, allowing for a ceremony bathed in natural light. For those desiring an outdoor setting, the club's expansive grounds can accommodate tented ceremonies, offering a serene backdrop of manicured lawns and the golf course.
The Sunset Room is a popular choice for receptions, accommodating up to 240 guests. Its elegant design and views of the golf course create a refined atmosphere for dining and dancing. The adjacent Georgian Room, with its baby grand piano and French doors, offers additional space for cocktail hours or smaller gatherings. For outdoor receptions, the club's patio and lawn areas can be transformed with tents and decor to match any wedding theme.
The Kahkwa Club exudes a classic country club ambiance with a touch of modern elegance. Its combination of indoor and outdoor spaces allows for a seamless flow throughout the wedding day. Whether you're envisioning a grand ballroom affair or an intimate garden celebration, the club's versatility caters to a variety of wedding styles.
The club's scenic golf course offers a picturesque setting for portraits, especially during golden hour when the light casts a warm glow over the greens. In one wedding, we ventured onto the course for some stunning shots, capturing the couple amidst the natural beauty.
Additionally, private backyards overlooking Lake Erie provided a breathtaking backdrop for photos, adding a personal and unique touch to the wedding album. The club's elegant interiors, including the grand staircase and well-appointed rooms, also serve as beautiful settings for capturing timeless moments.
