Picture Perfect Day

My wedding was at The Mayernik and it was a close to perfect as it could possibly be. Our Wedding Coordinator - Debbie - was so patient, helpful and really made sure our day went off without a hitch. I sent her so many emails leading up to the big day and she was always so responsive and accommodating. She's just the absolute best. The venue itself is beautiful, they have wonderful preferred vendors for catering and a list of vendors they often work with in the event you need suggestions. Our wedding and reception were inside with roughly 107 guests. There is plenty of space with a separate bar area and a great space for the ladies of the bridal party to get ready. Cost is incredibly reasonable with lots of optional add-ons (twinkle lights are a must) and flexibility. My guests (and husband and I), loved this space. I'm sad our day is over but so thankful for the beautiful memories from that venue!

Loved this beautiful venue

This was such a beautiful venue for my husband and I's wedding reception. Throughout the planning process, Sara was super helpful and responsive to our questions. We loved the almost log cabin feel of the venue on the inside and the fireplace gave it such a cozy feel. The bar area was nice to have separated from the main room and dance floor so that people who wanted to just hang out and talk could do so but still be close by. The lantern centerpieces provided by the venue made our table decorating a lot easier than it would've been otherwise. The bridge leading from the venue to the parking lot made for a fantastic sparkler exit. There's also plenty of parking which isn't a guarantee with other Pittsburgh venues. Basically, we had a great time at our reception and would recommend the Mayernik center to anyone getting married in a heartbeat.

My wedding was PERFECT

Sara is the girl. She went above and beyond and her service was incredible. She was there ready to reschedule every time we had to postpone. Can't have the wedding indoors? We moved it outside! It was even better than I hoped and thanks to Sara the venue was perfect.

Perfect rustic wedding venue

Staff amazing. As a bride, I never had to worry about a thing. I had both my wedding and reception in the main Mayernik Center - it was absolutely beautiful! The new strung lights are a MUST!

Wonderful experience for my winter wedding

I’m obsessed with this venue! They have 3 caterers to choose from, however you can bring in your own but I believe they have to generate a temporary contract. You bring in your own alcohol with the exception of kegs that are purchased through them. They have a soda system so you don’t have to worry about mixers, cup ware, and straws. This venue was perfect for winter but also would be awesome for warmer months as they have endless outside options for outside ceremonies. Kelly is who I worked with and she was amazing. She went above and beyond to ensure our day went smoothly and was everything we wanted. There are add on’s such as wooden rounds for centerpieces that are reasonably priced. Also the venue it self is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend.

Created the wedding of my dreams!

As soon as we toured the Mayernik Center we knew we wanted to have our wedding here. The building is rustic and romantic and the grounds are lush with greenery. I had my bridal shower and rehearsal dinner at the Cabin, we used the pavilion for our ceremony, and the Mayernik for the reception. The prices are fair, especially for such a gorgeous place. Kelly was wonderful to work with and so helpful! She made sure our big day ran smoothly. Everything was perfect and I’m so happy they were a part of our special day.

Amazing, Rustic Venue

If you are looking for a rustic, cabin in the woods type of feel- this is your place! Located on Avonworth Park, a short drive from Pittsburgh. We were lucky enough to be able to have a beautiful outdoor ceremony (pavilion would have been the rain plan). We worked with Sara B and she was a huge help with planning and was always quick to respond to our emails. She was there for the rehearsal and for the ceremony/ reception to keep things running smoothly. We were able to set everything up the day before the wedding, which was amazing (only worked because we had a Friday wedding) The only downside to this venue is that there is a list of three caterers you must pick and you need to buy your own alcohol (they have bartenders). Neither of these things were an issue for us though! Another huge positive was that they had wooden slabs for centerpieces, table numbers, some signs, and an arch for the ceremony that we could rent for an extra change. Everything coordinated beautifully.

So many family members and friends have been talking non stop about how absolutely beautiful the venue was. Seriously it’s so unique. Many said it was one of the nicest weddings they have been too, which was so great to hear. We found it to be extremely reasonably priced and were able to do our whole wedding for under $20,000. Definitely check this place out.

Picturesque Park Venue - Everything You Need in One Space!

I did a lot of research on wedding venues when we first got engaged (nearly 2 years before our wedding date!) and the Mayernik Center was at the top of my list!

They had it all - a park setting nestled 20 minutes outside the city with a covered pavilion for the ceremony and beautiful indoor venue for the reception (complete with a wrap-around porch and log cabin vibe). We started out with one event coordinator, but ended up with Kelly (their original coordinator) who was a pure joy to work with! She went above and beyond in so many ways, and it felt great to work with such a professional during the entire process.

If you want a nature-filled wedding, close to hotels and just far enough from the city... The Mayernik Center is the place for you!

An absolutely stunning venue with friendly staff and a well put together event. I photographed a wedding there several weeks ago and the photographs came out beautifully with their rustic wood interior and gorgeous grounds to work from. I look forward to working here again.

Our studio has photographed a number of weddings at the Mayernik Center. The rustic charm of the building with its spacious interiors were well suited for a beautiful wedding event or special party. We captured some gorgeous photos outdoors of our wedding couple on the small bride and the natural setting of the creek and various landscapes around the facility. We would recommend highly The Mayernik Center for a truly nature oriented venue. -John Lokmer - Lokmer Photography Inc.
