How to shop Pittsburgh venues

Compare Saturday with Sunday. Bramblewood's Sunday is $5,000 less than its Saturday, and Pinehall's weekday is half its Saturday.

Ask what a per-person price covers. The Gateway Clipper and the Mansions on Fifth include food and bar.

Check the bar rules. Pinehall lets you bring your own alcohol. Our venue tour questions cover the rest.

Our venue checklist covers the rest of the shopping list, and what a wedding venue costs explains how venue pricing is structured.
