100% recommend. We are an out of town couple that had the History Center in mind for our wedding from the beginning because it is such a unique venue and also because of positive word-of-mouth. Even so, it far exceeded our expectations. We worked closely with Maura, who is so kind, knowledgeable, savvy, and fun. She is a PRO - it was so easy to communicate with her and she had incredible suggestions and solutions for the whole process. The months leading up to the wedding were easy for those aforementioned reasons. The whole team made the week of the wedding seamless, as well. Dropping off goods, cookies, place cards, etc was stress free. Everyone is professional and helpful, and they really have this whole wedding thing down to science. Most importantly - the wedding. It was a day that I will never forget. Everyone involved in the event was calm, kind, and FUN. Our reception was in the Great Hall and it looked glorious. I honestly can't find enough good words to describe - but my husband, family, and I are all so incredibly grateful.

Excellent!
The team at Heinz History Center made it so easy for a busy bride to plan a wedding. They were extremely helpful and responsive. They took care of details during the wedding I didn't even realize were necessary (for example, shuffling a large bridal party up into a secret room before being announced and making sure they had enough drinks and appetizers to have fun)!
