  Everything at the Grand Hall was great! Coming from an event planner herself, I was able to relax on the day of. They set up all of our decorations as I requested and made me feel at ease. I worked with Sara-Lynn leading up to the day of and then had Courtney and Pam during the actual reception. All three ladies were professional and very helpful. They were great to work with. The food was amazing as well. We got the seafood napoleon and the chicken florentine. Everyone raved about the food. The venue is absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend the Grand Hall.

  Fantastic Experience!

  We had the pleasure of having our wedding at Pittsburgh's Grand Hall at The Priory in March 2023. Since many of our guests traveled from out-of-town for the wedding, we also utilized all of the rooms at the adjacent Priory Hotel for the weekend. We are beyond thrilled with how everything turned out and would highly recommend hosting a wedding or any other special event at this venue.
  
  As a special event venue, the Grand Hall at the Priory is truly one-of-a-kind – with history, charm, and beautiful details unseen in other venues like stained glass windows and an overlook choir loft. When you combine that with the modern touches – spectacular food, valet parking, full-service packages reasonably priced, hotel on-site – it’s hard to find another venue in Pittsburgh that can compete in our opinion. In addition, we were especially dazzled by the outstanding service we received throughout the planning process, at the Grand Hall on the day of our wedding, and the Priory Hotel itself. Courtney (Director of Events & Catering Sales), Jennifer (Event Manager), and Luciano (Guest Services Manager) are absolute pros and everyone that we came into contact with was extremely helpful, friendly, and accommodating (Nicole and Logan at the hotel front desk, Janet at our wedding, everyone really).
  
  If you are looking for a great wedding experience that will “wow” your guests (ours are still talking about how great everything was and how unique the Priory is), we would encourage you to consider this venue.

  The Priory was the perfect venue for our special day!

  I cannot recommend this venue enough. From the start of planning to throughout our wedding day, The Priory staff were wonderful. Both coordinators, Courtney Burns and Jennifer Halajcio, made our day go incredibly smooth and everything was just how we wanted it. The Priory staff was attentive to our needs and both Courtney and Jennifer were so organized that we did not have to worry about anything within the planning process or the day of. I would recommend this venue and staff to anyone for any special event!

  Perfect Wedding Day!

  Our May 2022 wedding at The Priory couldn’t have been more perfect! We worked with Courtney throughout the planning process. Her organizational skills and attention to detail really helped us to make our big day exactly what we imagined. Jennifer worked with us during the final two weeks, and she was at the venue on the day of our wedding. She really helped to bring our vision to life through her artistic eye and by carrying out all of the small details that we had planned for and requested. She also allowed us to come help her set up the hall the day before the wedding. We really appreciated being able to see the space come to life and to be able to hand place some of our most important details. Throughout the planning process, both Jennifer and Courtney were extremely responsive, supportive, and knowledgeable. They were truly able to make everything that we requested happen.
  
  Many of our guests stayed at the Priory Hotel over our wedding weekend, as we were able to block the whole hotel. This was extremely convenient, and all of our guests were happy with their rooms. The proximity between friends and family also made the whole wedding weekend even more fun.
  
  We used the beautiful courtyard for our cocktail hour. It was a great way for us to have outdoor elements in our wedding reception without the risk of having plans be ruined by bad weather. Courtney and Jennifer even allowed some of our guests with concerns about Covid to eat their meals in the courtyard! This allowed some of our family and friends with Covid risk factors to still be able to take part in our big day.
  
  During our reception, all of the staff was outstanding, and many of our guests raved about the food.
  
  We truly couldn’t have asked for more from The Priory for our wedding day!

  Stunning Venue

  Pittsburgh's Grand Hall provided the perfect venue for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner and dancing reception. The venue itself is breathtaking, evoking memories of time we spent in Europe with their beautiful churches and cathedrals. The staff at the Grand Hall are consummate professionals. From day one, working with Courtney was fantastic. She answered every question quickly and thoroughly. The planning process was a joy with her. Finally, Jenn made the day of flow seamlessly. Oh, and the food was delicious. Guests told us it was the best wedding they'd ever been to! I highly recommend Pittsburgh's Grand Hall!

  Beautiful unique venue!

  If you are looking to have your reception in a unique and beautiful space, this is your place! The reception hall is an old church and has beautiful stained glass and high ceilings. They have packages during off-season months (November-April) and for Fridays and Sundays that can help you stay within budget. Courtney was responsive throughout the planning process and always responded to our many questions very quickly. Jennifer acted as a day-of coordinator and was amazing at making sure everyone was where they needed to be and that the day flowed according to plan. The food was amazing, the service was incredible, and everyone we interacted with was so nice! I could go on and on about how amazing they were to work with. Any request we had, they were willing to accommodate. Book them for a tour ASAP!!!

  A wonderful venue for an off-wedding season date

  We loved working with The Grand Hall for our Nov. 16 wedding. We did the "Fall For Love" package that comes with November weddings and felt we got every cent of what we paid in return for a wonderful and seamless event. We added a few add-ons that were a bit pricey but worth it to bring up the elegance and romance in the room (the light wall and lit up birch trees that are usually not part of the November package). Would 100% recommend Courtney (event coordinator) and Zach (day-of coordinator) as they were responsive, helpful, accommodating, and helped keep us calm in all the craziness! The event was beautiful and we will remember it forever!

  Perfect wedding set up

  The hall is beautiful for a ceremony and is quickly turned into a great reception hall while guests are able to go outside in the courtyard. Working with the team at the hall was great and they were very responsive. We were accommodated well for being out-of-state and got a lot of compliments from our guests about the uniqueness of the venue.

  The Priory's Grand Hall was an amazing venue for a wedding. We did the Winter White Wedding package, and it was truly incredible. I worked directly with Sara Lynn from the beginning. She is a true talent, and amazing at her job. My family and I can be very overwhelming (lots of questions, lots of involvement, etc.) and she was patient, responsive and helpful. When we were making all of our final detail selections, she literally rolled up her sleeves, moved furniture around, showed me pictures, etc. I truly felt at ease on the big day thanks to her. The Grand Hall is a beautiful space. We had a reasonable sized wedding ~120 guests, and it was perfect. It's a larger room so I was concerned about being too big, and the sound not picking up, but none of that was a concern. It felt intimate, romantic, and every single one of our guests raved that it was one of the nicest wedding venues they had attended. The food was delicious, and I felt like the costs were very reasonable. We had our ceremony and reception onsite - would HIGHLY recommend for both. It looked so pretty set up for the ceremony and was transformed very quickly for the reception. Sara Lynn also made the day of - completely stress free. She handled everything, got me drinks, food when i didn't have a chance to eat, etc. Overall I couldn't have asked for better service or a more beautiful place to make memories in. Thank you sooo much!

  The priory is amazing! If you are really looking for a deal, try booking a date in November or April. They have these amazing packages with great deals! The hall is beautiful, the food is incredible, and the staff is so helpful!

  Our wedding at the Grand Hall was the best day ever. Sara-Lynn made the entire process easy and fun. She responds to emails extremely quickly and kept me on track throughout the year. The entire staff was great the weekend of our wedding. They worked with us for our cookie table, and with all of our own decorations we brought in as well. The food and cake were PHENOMENAL. Courtney is also so helpful and sweet, and ensured our day ran smoothly! Would recommend the Priory to anyone venue hunting!!! We couldn't have asked for a better weekend!

  This venue is top notch. Beautiful atmosphere, sophisticated, Sara, our wedding coordinator was absolutely wonderful. The venue is a one on one experience without any other weddings booked on your day. Service was A++, food A++, accommodations A- My only complaint was that our overnight suite was over the kitchen and it was loud as they were cleaning uop at night.

  We were so happy with our entire wedding celebration at the Grand Hall. We had the pleasure of working with Sara-Lynn throughout our entire planning experience. She was outstanding. Leading up to the wedding day she was so helpful and quick to respond to correspondences. On our wedding day she was on top of everything and available at every turn. The Grand Hall was a beautiful backdrop to our wedding day. We had our Ceremony and Reception at the hall with cocktail hour held in the private courtyard. They did everything for us. All of our guest raved about the food and venue. Sara-Lynn was so accommodating to us and meet every need we had. She is very easy to work with. We can't express enough how wonderful this venue and staff is.

  The Priory was a beautiful venue for our son's wedding reception. Sarah Lynn made everything easy with absolutely no stress involved. All of the staff were very attentive to all of our guests needs down to the smallest detail. The food was phenomenal as were the sweet treats which were provided by the Priory Bakery. Many of us stayed that night at the adjoining Prory Hotel which again was better than we could have ever imagined!

  The Grand Hall at the Priory and its staff were all amazing! Our wedding reception was perfect thanks to them!
  
  We had the pleasure of working with Sara-Lynn. We can not say enough about how much we appreciate everything that she did. She took all of our worries away, her attention to detail was impeccable, and she went the extra mile at every step.
  
  The venue was absolutely beautiful, the food was excellent, and the cake from the Priory Bakery was beautiful and delicious. Our family and friends all had a blast and have not stopped talking about our reception.

  Words can not describe how perfect my wedding was (sorry to brag)! The Priory did an amazing job and was easy to work with. They are willing to help you in any way. I was nervous about the food because you book the venue before you get to taste any food. Let me reassure you, IT IS AMAZING. I had a lot of compliments from my guests regarding how tasty everything was. No one went home hungry. Beautiful and Unique venue.

  We held our wedding at The Priory almost a year ago and are still receiving compliments on how convenient and beautiful it was from our guests. It is such a beautiful venue and was so convenient to have the ceremony and reception in the same room without people even needing to move from their table. Sarah Lynn was amazing. We had A LOT of road blocks and almost catastrophes that had nothing to do with the venue, however, Sarah Lynn handled all of them and kept me out of the loop so I could enjoy the day. I didn't even know most of it was happening until my girls told me the next day. They were so easy to work with and take care of everything that it was the easiest part of the wedding planning. It's such a special place and I'm so happy that it is where the memories of our wedding were made.

  I am a musician and a wedding vendor myself, and so when planning my wedding, I had the advantage of already having experienced some of the most beautiful wedding venues in Pittsburgh. Five years before my engagement, I played for a cocktail hour that was held in the Grand Hall. The beauty of the venue took my breath away. Originally, I thought I would plan an outdoor wedding. However, as we were planning a wedding in Pittsburgh, a city with completely unpredictable weather (which I dealt with in playing for so many outdoor weddings at different times of the year), I decided that it was important to have an indoor party to alleviate any stress and to have flexibility in choosing a date. The Grand Hall turned out to be the perfect setting for our special celebration. Not only was the venue beautiful, but the food was fantastic!
  
  I especially appreciated Heather, who coordinated our wedding day. She was quickly responsive to any questions I had in the months leading up to our event. She also made sure everything went really smoothly the day of our wedding.
  
  We'd like to send a shout out to Rob the bartender...he was especially awesome!
  
  The Priory is also wonderful in that it offers an adjacent hotel to house wedding guests. It is also very close to downtown Pittsburgh. Many of our guests walked to downtown restaurants, and some even walked to the stadium to enjoy a Pirates game.
  
  Many thanks to the Priory for handling the circus of our two immense families with such grace, and for giving us the gift of a lovely place to house our celebration!

  Absolutely AMAZING experience having our wedding at the Priory!!!!!!!!! Heather, the Priory's Event Planner, helped us every step of the way. From the moment we chose the Priory as our venue (which we fell in love with as soon as we walked in), Heather, was available to answer all of our questions, and put us at ease. She made sure to review all aspects of our wedding reception and made the hall look AMAZING on our wedding day. Our guests raved about the food and the elegance of the Venue. We also used the Priory bakery for our cake, and it was a big hit as well.. thank you so much for all your hard work Heather. you guys made my fairy tale a reality!!!

  We fell in love with the Priory as soon as we saw it. We got married in March and were given the Winter Wedding Package which is a huge discount over summer months and the absolute highest-end details the Priory has to offer. My husband and I both work full-time and long hours and didn't have time to worry about small details. The Priory took care of everything! We worked with Heather, Sara-Lynn, and Christine throughout the process and each one of them made the process as painless as possible. They gave tips on details I wouldn't have thought of, made sure that every aspect of the wedding ran perfectly, and treated us - as well as all of our guests - like royalty. I can't tell you how many of our friends and family commented afterwards how professional the staff was and the food was excellent. Sara-Lynn ran our wedding reception. Everything ran perfectly and neither my husband or I felt stressed or pushed around in the least. Every detail was planned ahead of time by the Priory and it ran flawlessly. Sara-Lynn even ran to get sewing supplies when the bustle on by dress broke during the cocktail hour! The service was so smooth and flawless I was truly blown away. One of the best things about having our wedding at the Grand Hall at the Priory was having hotel rooms available in the building as well. The rooms were beautiful and very reasonably priced. We even used the apartment suite on the 4th floor for people to get together who wanted to continue the celebration after the wedding. An absolutely gorgeous property. Whether you aren't someone who is into the small details and overwhelmed by the process (like me!) or someone who wants to plan every detail the Priory will make sure your day is perfect and help you every step of the way. They were flexible and accommodated every need we had without complaint. The Priory was well worth the money with our package and much less expensive that most of the other venues that we looked at if you are willing to get married in a

  The Grand Hall was a perfect venue for our reception. The space was decorated wonderfully and the service and food was phenomenal. The staff at the Grand Hall was easy to work with and had tastings and meetings to help with the decision making process during the planning stages.

  We recently had our wedding at the Priory Grand Hall. It was absolutely everything we could have wanted. The venue was gorgeous, the service was excellent, and the food was really delicious. All of our guests have said what a wonderful time they had! At the end of the night, the whole staff helped us gather up leftover cookies and the valets even pulled my mom's car from the parking lot and loaded it for her! We really could not have asked for any better service!
