DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Suites Pittsburgh Downtown

I was a 2020 Covid bride who had to postpone my wedding several times leading up to our new date in 2022. From 2020 to 2022, I had worked with the DT to change schedules, re-review our wedding package, select vendors, etc... and working with Danielle from DT had been the best experience! She was so responsive, answering any and all questions I had via email or phone. I planned my own wedding, and she made it so easy! If I needed floor plans, she sent those over with a layout of each room for guest table and decor set-up. If I needed photos of our bridal suite, she had those on-hand as well. If she was busy or OOO, she was transparent about communications so I was never waiting too long or unexpectedly.

Overall, the wedding packages for the DT are inclusive of many amenities and reasonably priced for being a downtown Pittsburgh wedding venue. I loved that our cake from Bethel Bakery, guest table flowers from One Happy Flower Shop, wedding night stay stay, etc. were all included (it depends on which package you pick). We especially loved having access to the Presidential Suite and the Vue Suite, two separate areas to get ready before the wedding. This allowed us to get the "getting ready" photos and First Look pics (at Mellon Green) so easily. For our plated dinner, we went with chicken, fish, or vegetarian options for our guests, and received so many compliments. In addition, we had a cookie table and photo booth, which fit perfectly in the space. The late night snack of pierogies went so well with our "Pittsburgh themed" wedding.

If you go with the DT, the only downsides or things to consider are timing of events near the venue. We unfortunately picked a weekend where there were 2 Penguins games, so parking became an issue (some guests had to park at the Steel Tower next door).

Overall, our wedding was well worth the wait and we loved how our day turned out!

Our entire experience at the Doubletree by Hilton, Downtown could not have been any better!
The original date for my daughter's wedding was May 30, 2020. Because of covid, it moved dates twice to end up with Sept. 4, 2021. I'm aware that many venues only offered Fridays or Sundays for rescheduled dates but the doubletree was very accommodating to our new date requests.
I can't say enough about the staff at the Doubletree! Everyone was extremely nice and accommodating to us. Patty Iannotta (Director of Sales) was a pleasure to work with! She was always prompt with communication and certainly went out of her way to make every vision/request we had come to fruition! Her excitement and willingness to help to make the wedding everything we imaged truly made our experience way beyond what we expected! My daughter's dog was their ring bearer, Patty and Danielle ( Catering Sales Manager) even took extra care of "Jimbo", which they certainly did not have to. They checked on him during the reception and even brought him in for a surprise visit! Both Patty and Danielle kept us on schedule during the wedding ceremony and reception. They were both so much fun! They seemed more like friends than just hotel employees trying to make the event a success! They were constantly surprising us with things we certainly did not expect. Everyone raved about the food/cocktails at the reception. We had approx. 40 rooms booked with guests attending the wedding for the weekend. Everyone's experience was the same! From the front desk staff to Nick (Assistant General Manger) the service was impeccable! I would highly recommend this hotel for any event, especially a wedding!! Thank you to everyone at "the Doubletree by Hilton, Downtown" for a fabulous experience!
