Are you looking for a unique venue for an upcoming Pittsburgh wedding? Tired of all those overpriced and typical hotel receptions? Here are four one-of-a-kind suggestions that may suit your distinctive taste.

The Wooden Angel Restaurant offers a formal, modern/Renaissance-style atmosphere with fine dining and choice wines. Stone architecture, dramatic lighting, candles, and beautiful flowers are all part of the wedding packages. While refined and sophisticated, planning a Wooden Angel wedding is easy with location, flowers, décor, and food in one place. Ceremonies and receptions are accommodated. Indoor weddings can be held in the Banquet room or the smaller and more intimate wine cellar. An outdoor wedding setting is also available. Award-winning for its food and service, as well as selection of wines, the Wooden Angel is a great consideration for smaller, low-key weddings. Located in Bridgewater, Beaver County, just off route 60 North, approximately forty minutes from downtown Pittsburgh.

If your style is a warm, cozy log cabin with a fireplace, the Mayernik Center in Avonworth Community Park may be the best choice for your wedding. The cabin feel is inviting with a casual atmosphere, yet formal and beautifully designed for an elegant event.. Unlike a hotel wedding, the Mayernik Center offers a private location for guests only. The site is spacious and airy, with large windows and access to an expansive porch. This is a great environment for weddings that include children, having a nearby park. The natural landscaped setting gives the opportunity to take beautiful outdoor photographs. This facility accommodates a wedding with up to 200 guests, and has a central dance floor. It is fully equipped for your caterer. Just minutes north of the city, The Mayernik Center is conveniently located.

The Morning Glory Inn on Pittsburgh’s South Side offers a setting for the ceremony, reception, and accommodations for the wedding party. Prepare yourself for your big day, enjoy it, and stay for your wedding night all in one location. The Morning Glory Inn is a bed-and-breakfast with luxurious Victorian appointments. Weddings can be easily catered by one of the inn’s preferred caterers. The patio with bistro seating can be covered or uncovered to adjust for the weather during an outdoor ceremony. A balcony overlooks the main patio, which includes an area for a band and a dance floor. Guests can roam the inn during the reception, mingling in many of the lovely sitting areas. The Morning Glory Inn provides the bride and groom with an overnight stay in a fabulous suite.

The Grand Hall at the Priory, located on Pittsburgh’s North Side, is perfect for a large, upscale event. Amazing historic architecture with beautiful stained glass and soaring ceilings displaying exquisite artwork accent this structure. Built in 1854, and formerly a church, this impressive venue includes fine cuisine in a sophisticated ballroom setting. Fantastic service and valet parking are among the many amenities your guests can appreciate. Joined with the notable Grand Hotel, wedding night accommodations are luxurious and convenient for the newly married couple and their guests.

Your wedding should be designed to work best for you, yet also planned to accommodate your guests. Consider the size of your guest list, if children will be included, what kind of food you desire (sit-down dinner, buffet, or hors d’oeuvres only), the time of day, and if you want the ceremony and reception in one location. These decisions all affect what venue you may choose. What is most important is that the wedding is unique to who you are. Pittsburgh offers many locations that suit a variety of personalities and maybe one of those mentioned above is perfect for you.
