My husband Noah and I were married at the Yellow House last year. We live in Charlotte, NC but our families are from Erie. I had never heard of the house before, but was tipped off by a relative. The property was recently renovated, and was brand new to the wedding market. I’ve been to my fair share of venues in the Erie area, but this one really stood out. There’s nothing quite like it. It’s absolutely beautiful and completely unique. We had such a memorable night, and some of our guests are still talking about it! The venue gets two thumbs up. I would recommend it to anybody!

Glen Eden Barn 
Evans City, PA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space

  • Starts at $6,000

Originally built in 1860 along Glen Eden Road, the barn, owned by the estate of Gene and Dee Graham, descendants of early settler of Cranberry Township, Matthew Graham, was slated to be sold as part of a real estate development and eventually torn down. The barn and farmhouse had been in the Graham family since its original construction, but was restored by Gene and Dee in the 1950’s as they started their own dairy farm, Brookvue Acres. For the next half century, the barn was the epicenter of daily life for the Graham family. All six children and numerous farm hands pitched in to help run the dairy. Resigned to spend more time with their grandchildren, the Grahams retired in 1998, happily closing that chapter of their life. Their legacy carries on in Graham Park, a donation of their farmlands to the community, in Cranberry Twp.
