Private Event Space in Erie PA
You’re looking for a local venue–maybe for a corporate event, a yoga class, or a baby shower, and we have 3 very different spaces. Each space is equipped with everything you need to host successful gatherings for your clients, company, or team.
But first, what is Thrive Therapy Space? Thrive is a ‘coworking space’ for wellness providers where we work collaboratively and share offices, a waiting room, printers & coffee machines, and three event spaces. If you’re on this page, it’s not because you want to become a member of our coworking space, rather it’s to look for a meeting room, private party venue or event space.
- Our large Studio Space (935 sq ft) is big enough for a meeting, yet intimate enough for a creative event or holiday party.
- Our Conference/Group Room (242 sq ft) has a smart TV and large white board–perfect for a meeting space, group therapy, or small training.
- Our Gathering Space (565 sq ft) is where our Thrive Therapy Space members gather for collaboration and support. With its adjoining kitchenette, it could be the private event space that’s just right for you and your group.
Our Location
Close to McDowell High School, on Erie’s 38th street East/West corridor, 8 minutes from the Erie Airport, and just 15 minutes from downtown Erie, Thrive is the perfect place for your next event.
