FAQs

what if i need to change my RSVP?

1

We are no longer able to add guests, but if your plans change and you can no longer attend, just email us.

is parking available near the venues?

2

Yes! Both venues offer street parking on surrounding streets, but we recommend using a rideshare for convenience when possible. For the wedding on Saturday, a shuttle will be available for hotel guests. There is also a parking lot located at 1300 Brighton Ave which is a 2-minute walk from the venue.

are the venues accessible?

Yes! If you have specific accessibility needs, please reach out and we’ll make sure you’re taken care of.

Is there a rehearsal dinner?

4

Nope!

can i explore the museum during the wedding?

5

Yes and we hope you do! It’s a Pittsburgh highlight and includes permanent installations by some of our favorite artists.

is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

6

Both. The wedding will move between indoor and outdoor spaces. Outdoor spaces will be covered in the case of inclement weather.

what does “cocktail style” reception mean?

7

It means there won’t be a traditional, seated, “chicken or fish” meal, but there will be lots of food. Come hungry.

what’s this about a cookie table?

8

While we are unlikely to break any world records, cookie tables are a fixture at Pittsburgh weddings and ours will be no different. Learn more here. If you are planning to participate, please bring your cookies to the museum on Saturday when you arrive and our catering vendor will take care of the rest including a coordinated display so don’t worry about presentation. You’ll have a chance to label your container so that it’s returned to you as well as label your treats so folks know what’s available.

are dietary restrictions accommodated?

9

Yes - and conveniently, the bride’s allergies mean the menu will already be free of shellfish, peanuts, and almonds. For anything else, including vegan / vegetarian options, please note your restrictions in your RSVP and we’ll share with our caterer.

what is pittsburgh weather like in late september?

10

Late September offers some of Pittsburgh’s best weather: highs in the low-to-mid 60s°F and slightly cooler in the evenings. It’s Pittsburgh, so rain is always possible, but late September tends to be drier than spring.
