Crowne Plaza Hotel & Suites Pittsburgh South

Lia, Director of Catering at Crowne, is the absolute best. Our wedding was spectacular because of her. We had a very tight budget and a small party, and she tailored the experience to exactly what we needed. We provided the decorations and Lia and her team set everything up the day of.

The room we originally chose lost heat the morning of our big day (the coldest day of the year!). Lia took care of moving the entire party to an even larger space so that all our guests would be warm enough, arranging all of the decorations seamlessly before the event so no one was the wiser. She handled it all.

Everything was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much, Lia, for a magical day!

From the beginning to the end Lia was working out the details. Yes, it comes at a cost, but we heard so many good things from all who was invited, the happy hour the chefs-d'oeuvre were outstanding, the main course was even better. Lia was especially nice letting Karen (the bride) decorate the main dance room with her lovely touch.

Working with Ellen at the Crowne Plaza was one of our best decisions for our wedding. Even with some back and forth with coordinators during the process, she was more than accommodating with every email, call, and panicked late-night message. The entire staff checked in on us throughout the day before and of to make sure all of our needs were met. I HIGHLY recommend the venue for their customer service, great food, and beautiful space

I would highly recommend Crowne Plaza for a wedding venue! Sharon was our wedding coordinator and was amazing. She helped us through every step of the process! The packages that Crowne Plaza offers were so much more inclusive than any of the other venues we looked at. Having some of the vendors pre-selected truly helped reduce the load on me and my husband through the planning process. Sharon and the Crowne Plaza worked seamlessly with any additional vendor I selected, and our wedding truly ended up being the day/ evening of our dreams. All of our guests were raving about the food and the venue choice - you can not go wrong by choosing to have your wedding here!

My husband and I were turned onto the Crowne Plaza by a family friend who works in the wedding industry in Pittsburgh. He told us the venue was beautiful, affordable, and the coordinators were the best in the city, and his advice definitely did not disappoint! I worked mostly with Kelli and she was amazing! She is organized, easy-going, and flexible to work around anyone's crazy schedule. When it came down to details, Kelly broke things down so the decisions seemed simple and came easy. Our package came with a variety of things included which made planning that much easier. All of the girls had a big hospitality room to get ready the morning of, which gave the hair stylist and makeup artist plenty of room in addition to room for the girls to relax. The staff sets everything up and takes everything back down. We have gotten numerous compliments on the venue, food, and service! We could not have asked for a better venue!

If I could give more stars I would. Kelli was hands down the best of the best!
From the first day we met her , I was hooked! From her personality to answering every million questions I had while planning over the last year to making sure every last detail I wanted was absolutely perfect !!!
I can’t thank her and the staff at the Crowne Plaza enough!
It’s a one stop shop kinda place! The florist , cake designer and so much more that they work with were out of this world amazing as well.

Kelli was such a great help planning over the last 10 months, everything was just perfect the food was fantastic and our cake from signature desserts was amazing everyone had such an amazing time had no complaints about anything I highly recommend the Crowne Plaza to have on your special day ❤️

I can't even give the Crowne Plaza and staff enough stars for our experience with them! Kelli and her assistant made all of my dreams come true the night of my wedding. Seeing how they made everything come together brought tears to my eyes, they went above and beyond to make our wedding a night we would never forget. My experience with Kelli from the moment I booked her to the very end was amazing. She was quick to respond to ALL of my emails and as a bride you have a million and one to ask! She even had no problem dealing with my crazy great uncle who wanted things a certain way. The staff for the wedding was incredible, always helping and making sure not only my husband and I were happy but every single one of our guests as well. The food was incredible!!!! We did a buffet which I wasn't so sure about in the beginning, turned out to be the best choice ever because it made everything so easy and simple. For everything you don't think of for the special day they have covered and will ask you before you get the chance. For all you Brides who are on the fence about a venue to choose this is no doubt the best choice to make. I can promise you that you will not regret it for one moment!!

Where do I even begin?!? The Crowne Plaza was the perfect place for our wedding. The location, price, service, and the wedding coordinator (Kelli Gorecki) cannot be beat. We had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception at the Crowne Plaza. Everything was absolutely beautiful and wonderful. Because of Kelli we had complete confidence in our wedding. She was always available and responded to every crazy call and email from me quickly and with so much kindness. Kelli is truly one of a kind. She helped us so much. We chose the Crowne Plaza over the other hotels because we could just sense that magic from Kelli when she was talking to us about our potential wedding. She went out of her way whenever she needed to and even when she didn't need to, to make every detail we hoped and dreamed for happen. She did it with kindness. This place wasn't the type of place where you ask for one thing and they tell you that will be an extra charge, that will be an extra charge, etc. She helped us plan extra details within reason to help us stay in our budget. So many of the details were taken care of to make it a low stress planning experience for us. We got married under a beautiful arbor structure and I know she bought that off of us. So anyone looking to have an outside ceremony, I believe they still have the tools to make your wedding just as beautiful. They provided a wonderful room for us to stay in the night of our wedding and I was able to rent it out the night before for after our rehearsal. Our rehearsal was awesome and we were able to stay out late drinking on the patio with our out of town guests and wedding party. They were very accommodating to us, our wedding party, and our guests. Once our wedding was over, us and our guests that were still up for partying some more were able to all go drink in their hotel bar super late. I had the best night of my life and it was so much fun. I owe my beautiful and fun wedding to Crowne Plaza, my vendors, and especially to Kelli.

Kelli and the Crowne Plaza staff were nothing short of amazing and made our reception wonderful. The planning was as simple as reception planning can get and the desserts and centerpiece flowers are included! Definitely a great value and wonderful service! Our guests had a blast as well. Thank you for making our day unforgettable!
