No worries!  There are lots of wonderful venues between Erie and Buffalo that you can look into!!  If you go much past Chautauqua, then you're looking at about an hour and a half drive (depending on where you are in PA).  I'm not sure what kind of budget you're working with, but here are a few places in the Chautauqua area:

Maplehurst Country Club - they don't have a website, but this link has their contact info:  http://www.golfnewyork.com/courses/lakewood/maplehurst-cc/

I think Fredonia, NY/Dunkirk, NY might also be about a 40 minute drive from where you are, so here are a few spots to check out there:

All of these locations are in pretty close proximity to water, so a waterfront ceremony would likely be easy to arrange!  Hope these help to at least give you a good start!

Best of luck!!

What about Holiday Valley?  No water (other than a pond), but beautiful and surrounded by nature!  Also, they have a hotel on site for out-of-town guests.
