    Truly A Dream Wedding Venue

    This place is incredibly beautiful!! We cannot say enough good things about our experience with The Scottish Rite. From the very first correspondence all the way through to our event we dealt with a profession team that truly cares about their client's experience. The planning process was efficient and detail-oriented making sure we were covering all our bases, but also making sure we were spending our time effectively. Grace and the rest of the team are excellent at their jobs and made sure we had the absolute perfect wedding experience. This venue speak for itself. All of my guests were asking "How did you find this place?". My absolute favorite part of doing the first dance on the main floor with all of the guests over-looking on the balcony, truly magical. Could not have imagined a more spectacular venue. Thank you for all the great work you did leading up to and during our special day!!!

    Beautiful, affordable venue

    The Scottish Rite Cathedral is truly the most wonderful, gorgeous, and stunning gem you will find in the Pittsburgh region. Best of all, the venue is incredibly affordable. We would have been able to have the wedding ceremony and reception in this stunning venue for the same price as a fire hall that really looked like a school cafeteria. I mention that because many times you will see venues advertise that they are affordable and then you see the venue rate is $10,000, but not here. When you walk into the Scottish Rite Cathedral you will be in awe of this beautiful and historical venue. In the lobby, tall columns adorn the huge room with vaulted ceiling and stained glass light fixtures. The female restroom in the lobby would be a beautiful space for the bride to get ready. We fell in love with this venue, but unfortunately we were one of the couples who had to cancel our wedding at the last minute due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Cathedral was incredible throughout the whole process and they were happy to help us however they could. We decided not to reschedule our event at the Cathedral and had a very small wedding instead. With that said, Dawn and the Scottish Rite Cathedral team were truly fantastic to work with. Dawn was incredibly kind and answered all of our questions promptly. You should 100% tour this venue, you will fall in love with it.

    Dream wedding venue!

    The Scottish Rite was a dream venue from the start, but it far exceeded our expectations! The venue itself took our breath away...as it did for all of our guests. Grace is an absolute blessing as she is quick to respond, super accommodating, and just an overall incredible coordinator throughout the whole process. She answered all of my questions so patiently, and worked closely with me to make sure my wedding day was everything I imagined it to be. We had in town and out of town guests that were in awe of the venue and the beautiful backdrop it provided for our wedding! The ease of having Kahn's partnered with them made for the best and easiest wedding planning experience! I would HIGHLY recommend Grace and the Scottish Rite team!

I had the honor of presiding over a beautiful wedding ceremony at the Scottish Rite recently and I was pleasantly pleased with all of what the facility had to offer. My couple were amazed at the class of workmanship , the space, the mode setting, the works! No to mention all of the helpful people that work there as well. The Scottish Rite offers everyone a great wedding venue. Rev. Ida-May Hanson Happy Ever After Wedding Officiants
