Nick G. Married on 10/22/2022Amazing, unique space with a perfect, helpful coordinator!
We were SO lucky to have our wedding at the Heinz History Center and work with their incredible coordinator Sandi, who was so helpful, kind, and knowledgable throughout the entire process—we knew we were in great hands with her and the History Center team. Every conversation and meeting had us feeling more relieved (and less stressed!) as they worked with us, listened to us, made recommendations, and connected with our vendors. The end result was a perfect day, masterfully managed by the History Center team in their beautiful, distinctive space that felt uniquely tailored to us for that day. We could not have asked for a better wedding experience and will be forever grateful!
