Perfect Professionalism

Brian provides PROMPT responses and will guide you through all details. Extremely helpful in making sure we had what we needed to set up. Service staff during event were present, professional, friendly and proficient. Food, especially the filet was cooked to perfection and served warm. I have only positive things to say about our experience.

Exceeded All of Our Expectations

The Grand Concourse hosted our recent 200 person wedding. Our experience was unbelievable. Brian George, who manages the venue, worked with us directly. He educated us on the process and, throughout the planning, provided great advice on how to proceed. He helped us figure out how to reach our desired ambiance in a cost-efficient manner. He was always happy to help guide us, no matter how many times we sought his input.
The night went off without a hitch. The naturally beautiful venue was transformed to a fairytale aesthetic. They worked great with all the vendors to minimize our coordination. On the day of the wedding, the staff was there for everything we needed and the guests raved about how great they all were. Most impressively, despite the size of the reception and the number of meals needed, at least a dozen people told us it was the best wedding meal they have ever had.
We had both our ceremony and reception in the main room and it was perfect for both. We are doing this review so that other couples have a chance to experience the same magical day that we did. They surpassed even our most aspirational hopes for the day.

Went above and beyond! Highly recommend.

Brian George helped us schedule everything for the reception at Grand Concourse. The service was top notch, Brian was very responsive with getting back to us with any questions we had, and had a wide array of services to choose from to ensure the party went perfectly. Very friendly and professional, with an elegant venue to boot. The food was terrific, and they also let us play our own music via their sound system. All in all, they were a big part on the day being memorable and enjoyable even though my husband and I plus the guests were all coming in from out of town.

From venue, to food, to the people, a top-notch experience!

Grand Concourse is a superb venue, but a wedding is about more than just the "where". The food was amazing, but the people really made the difference, from our event coordinator, Brian George, to our servers and bartender. It was a truly wonderful evening in an iconic Pittsburgh location. We couldn't have been happier, treated better, nor received more praise from our guests.

Best Day Ever

We are so incredibly happy we chose The Grand Concourse as our wedding venue. Everything came together so flawlessly, and our wedding day was so special. Their wedding coordinator, Brian, is outstanding. He was incredibly kind and responded back to emails and phone calls immediately to even the most trivial questions that I had. He had excellent recommendations, and made the experience actually enjoyable. The place is stunning to say the least. Every single guest told us that it was the nicest wedding venue they've ever seen!

Something important to us for our wedding was good food, and it was delicious. Everything was top-notch, including the amazing service and bar-tending. Alexis was amazing and such a great addition to our day.

It was the perfect venue for us, such a beautiful place with so much character. We couldn't be happier we chose the Grand Concourse!

Above & Beyond!!

The entire staff at the Grand Concourse (starting with Brian) went above and beyond our expectations for the wedding and reception. Everything was taken care of with such professionalism and with a friendly attitude. Even our wedding guests were pleased with the service. The atmosphere and of course food were top-notch as well. We really appreciated sharing the night with such wonderful people and hope they had a good time with our guests. We would recommend the Grand Concourse to anyone who's having a wedding or special event. And we look forward to returning for anniversaries and other special occasions. Thank you for all that you do!!

Unique and memorable, but reasonable.

My husband and I had our 200 person wedding reception at the Grand Concourse 9/8/18 and have had a number of guests since then tell us that this wedding was simply their favorite! A lot of this has to do with the beauty and uniqueness of this place. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but their food is exceptional. We knew that we wanted a place where it doesn’t look just like any other wedding and also where our guests would remember the food and they did! Brian, Scott, and the whole team worked very hard with us to make our vision come alive and it was perfect. They made sure that everything was to our liking and we even had our dance floor out on the patio, which was a huge hit and gave us more room inside. We highly recommend this venue if you are looking to stand out and not spend a fortune doing so.

Brian and his staff was a pleasure to work with!

The Grand Concourse gave our daughter and son-in-law their fairy tale wedding! Our guests were awed by the ambiance of the ballroom and commented on their dinners and the service. The wait staff was outstanding and took care of everything from the minute we arrived until the end of the reception. Our reception was a wonderful and memorable event!

Wedding Venue: The Grand Concourse

My husband and I started our planning process like most other couples, trying to find the perfect venue. We looked at a handful of places, they were all nice, but the moment we stepped foot into the Grand Concourse we knew that was it.

We love Pittsburgh and being able to have our wedding at a such an iconic venue really made the day special. The ceiling and the grandeur of the site really lends itself to a classic theme.

If you're looking for a wedding venue, you can't go wrong with The Grand Concourse. They have amazing food and were open to letting us do almost anything we wanted with the space. Not to mention, they have an add on list for people who want more sweets than a cookie table and cake. We got the doughnut machine and the ice cream bar - people couldn't stop raving about how good they both were. They were the hit of the night!

The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and got back to us right away when we had questions. We highly recommend it!

The Ideal Wedding

“The Ideal Wedding “ is a quote from one of my guests. The backdrop of the grand and historic Grand Concourse made a lovely setting for our ceremony and reception of 50 guests. We received an overwhelming number of compliments on the food and service. The afternoon went flawlessly. The events manager, Brian was responsive and worked through all our questions and special requests. On the day of, he was there to ensure the ceremony got off to a fantastic start and the staff continued the impeccable service right out to the valet helping us pack the leftover cupcakes and decorations into our car. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
