Everything about our wedding day was perfect! The entire Embassy Suites team was exceptional and the entire planning process was so easy. The weekend of our big event everyone kept me calm and assured me all details would be perfect. They didn’t lie! Everything turned out fantastic and our guests are still raving about how great the food was, how beautiful the venue was, and how wonderful their accommodations were. When choosing a venue I very rarely heard people using this location and couldn’t figure out why. The setup was great, the building has so much great Pittsburgh character and the wedding packages were very competitive in comparison to other downtown options. We loved everything about our special day and are so glad we had the privilege of working with the entire team at Embassy Suites Pittsburgh Downtown.

Our wedding was September 28th at the Embassy Suites, and wow it was even better than we could have imagined. We began the planning process in October/November and through that entire 10 month process Nicole Cooper, the event coordinator, was so helpful and patient with us! We had many, many meetings with her to see the space again, talk through ideas and timelines, and she was all for it every time. The food and beverage coordinator Eric also hit it out of the park with his expertise and patience as well. The whole team was very accommodating from special requests with alcohol and food. He made sure we had exactly what we wanted for our big day! Not only was the service exceptional, but the venue space is gorgeous! I was so drawn to it initially because of it’s clean and simple lines, it’s modern, but doesn’t take away from your wedding decor or theme. I have received so many compliments since the wedding to tell me how beautiful the reception space was! I would 100% recommend the Embassy Suites in Pittsburgh to anyone I know who is planning a wedding!! Thank you again for everything Nicole and Eric!

We had my daughter's wedding at the Embassy Suites on May 13, 2023, and it was AMAZING. They had had a 250-person prom the night before, so Saturday morning things looked a little rough... but within a few hours they had addressed our concerns (and were very receptive and professional) and everything went off without a hitch. From Friday night's check-in and giving out our pre-made guest bags to our out of town guests, to the wonderfully friendly Gastropub bar staff later assisting us with entertaining our guests! Then Saturday, they cleaned up the prom mess (can you say glitter!!) and let us fully enjoy our day, we rented an additional conference room as our ladies get ready room - it worked out great!! We (7 bridesmaids, bride and 2 Moms plus 4 professionals) had plenty of room to relax, get ready and we moms could answer any questions for the reception room set-up down the hall, that came up. All of the support staff were so friendly and seemed just as excited for our big day as we were! Lori the event coordinator and her assistant Rebecca had everything under control, the cocktail hour was set up as we wanted, our cookie table crew was able to come in and set up and the florist came in and set up the reception area as well (the florist is wonderful and was through the venue - One Happy Flower Shop - amazing flowers that still look great 5 days later!).
After the ceremony at the church, they had a private cocktail area for the bridal party which was great and very appreciated! The regular cocktail area is a big "L" and was enough room for the 165 guest to mingle, get drinks from the 2 bars and gets snacks while warm appetizers were serviced by roaming servers. Then Lori got everyone into the reception and the bridal party came in and was announced by the DJ. The room was just the right size for a wedding of 165. I wouldn't recommend over 175 in the big ballroom. You had room to move about, but it was full. Dinner was served and it was amazing! The potato soup was really one of the best I've ever had. The steak melted in your mouth, very tender and full of flavor. My daughter loved the veggie option. I was told the chicken was "OK". The cake was provided by the venue, the couple had chosen a chocolate and vanilla with a raspberry filling - it was excellent.
They cleared the tables, and the rest of the night was a filled dance floor and amazing memories! The waitstaff asked you often if you needed anything, even after dinner. The 2 bars remained open until 10:30 and the bartenders were so efficient, and the drinks were good, not watered down!
I would recommend the Embassy Suites to anyone looking for a wedding venue. My daughter picked them for the all-inclusive cost, room, catering, florist, cake. The facilities are very well maintained, and the staff go above and beyond to meet your needs. From the valet parking to the event coordinator, they take care of you! And Lori was wonderful work with through the whole planning process, always very responsive to emails etc.
