We are avid symphony-goers and musicians ourselves, so when the idea came around to get married at Heinz Hall, we were overjoyed to find that there were some dates available (it's tough to book this place because, obviously, they're a performing arts venue first-and-foremost, so there are always shows going on!). We love the outdoor Garden Plaza, which is on the corner of Sixth and Liberty Ave downtown, so that's where we wanted to have the ceremony, with the waterfall as the altar. Wow, what a dream come true. Stacey, the events booker at HH was so easy to work with—she made me realize that these things don't need to be so complicated! Everything was just set up and ready! The ushers were also so sweet. After the ceremony we were able to take photos in the lobby even though we were a bit over our time. Also, we had the lobby as an alternate site in case it would have rained. Now let me warn anyone thinking about the outdoor plaza as a spot: my husband and I love the city. We love the city noises too: think buses, cars, people carrying on. We didn't mind city noise or wedding peepers watching the ceremony through the gates (I thought that was pretty cool actually!) But this is not the place to have a quiet wedding (at least in the garden plaza). This is a sanctuary for urban lovers and lovers of great musical spaces. :)

Amazing deal for an incredible space. The staff was great to work with and the venue is stunning. Our guests were really impressed by how gorgeous Heinz Hall was- a great way to show off Pittsburgh for out-of-town guests!
