We had our reception in the Carnegie Music Hall Foyer and the venue speaks for itself! Most of our guests were from out of town and had never been to Pittsburgh and they were blown away by how beautiful the foyer was! I planned the entire wedding myself from California, where I now live, and their staff honestly made it so easy and enjoyable to plan! I worked with Tori, Nicki, and Rion, all of whom were wonderful!! They did great job communicating as a team so that whoever I was meeting with or whoever was there the night of the wedding knew exactly what was going on. They were very responsive and professional throughout the entire process. They helped to coordinate our meetings so that we could get as much done whenever I was in Pittsburgh. Now that the wedding is over, everyone has been asking if there were any big hiccups during the day, as most weddings have, but honestly we had none!! Everything ran so smoothly and went exactly as planned! Rion was also so helpful at the end of the night with loading up our things in the car. We were so happy with everything and cannot recommend them more! -

We couldn’t be more thrilled with our decision to host our wedding at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History! From start to finish, the team provided exceptional communication and attention to detail, making the entire process as easy and seamless as possible for us as the bride and groom.
The venue itself is a masterpiece—timeless, elegant, chic, and classic. Our ceremony on the Grand Staircase was nothing short of magical, and our reception in the Hall of Statues was absolutely breathtaking. The spaces provided the perfect blend of grandeur and intimacy, allowing us to create a day that was uniquely ours.
What truly set Carnegie apart, though, was their commitment to making our wedding day the best it could be. The staff went above and beyond, ensuring every detail was executed flawlessly. Their thoughtfulness and professionalism gave us peace of mind so we could fully enjoy the moment.
Our guests are still raving about how beautiful and personalized the day was, and we couldn’t agree more. If you’re looking for a venue that combines stunning architecture, rich history, and impeccable service, look no further than the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. They gave us the wedding of our dreams and more!
Highly, highly recommend! -

The event staff, and in particular Lindsay McClain, went above and beyond to ensure our wedding reception was a memorable and stress-free experience. Lindsay's responsiveness and dedication to meeting our requests was outstanding. We were easily able to take photos in the art museum and with the dinosaurs.
We couldn't have asked for a more magnificent reception venue than the Music Hall Foyer. Our family and friends were equally impressed. Our heartfelt thanks for making our wedding reception so wonderful! -

Wedding with the Dinosaurs
My daughter was married in Dinosaur hall at the Carnegie Museum. Besides being a unique venue, it was accomplished in October of 2020! We had the typical Covid restrictions but i have to say the Nicki and Dallas were a dream to work with. They were so accommodating and flexible. Definitely a wedding to remember -

Alexandra Sent on 05/23/2019The venue and the staff are a dream, it was the best decision we made for our wedding!
Growing up in Pittsburgh I was very aware how stunning Carnegie Museum is, and how the Music Hall Foyer was a dream for a reception venue. What I want to stress to anyone looking for a venue and is considering Carnegie is how highly my husband and I recommend this place. It was the best decision we made for our wedding. All of the people we worked with were amazing, so fun, SO down to earth, talented, professional, and they worked with our budget in ways I never imagined they would. The kindness us and our families received by Nicole with events, and Cassie in Catering from the start was exceptional. The part that may be a surprise to couples looking and what we've bragged about is how flexible and reasonable they were with helping us plan a wedding that fit our vision, budget, and made it easy on us planning from out of state. These people are the best and they deserve recognition for running an impressive operation in one of Pittsburgh's most beautiful spaces, and doing so with professionalism, empathy, skill, class, and an attitude to consistently exceed expectations. -

Marc Sent on 07/10/2017We had our absolute dream wedding at the Carnegie. The planning staff was attentive and helpful throughout. Eileen, the director of events, met with us for our tasting and was extremely prepared and organized. On the day of, Tori was there to ensure everything went smoothly as well as Cassie, the catering manager. The food was great, the cake was beautiful, and our guests were wowed by the beauty of the venue. If it's in your price range, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better venue. -

Heather Sent on 08/28/2008The staff at the Carnegie Museum is exceptional. I would recommend this venue to any bride. I personally worked with Mary Jo, Ellen, and Eileen. These ladies were excellent in helping plan every detail of my wedding, just the way I wanted it!! They were always prompt in responding to any questions. They were so easy to work with during our taste testing, and they were outstanding on the day of the wedding. The venue is beautiful. It is a lovely place to have a wedding. You can watch a little of our first dance in the Music Hall Foyer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC_MJwHlE3I. -

Gianna Sent on 06/23/2011I recently (5.28.11) had my wedding in the Music Hall Foyer at the Carnegie Museum and my husband and I couldn't be more pleased! It was, without a doubt, the most beautiful venue I have ever seen and my guests were seriously floored. It is such a unique venue and just breathtakingly gorgeous. Our pictures are absolutely stunning.
Eileen and Liza from the Museum, Bill from Parkhurst, and Alice who did the cake were exceptional and the service was unmatched. They were very attentive and accommodating to any questions or concerns I had along the way and really made planning from out of town a very easy and fun process.
Parkhurst Dining Services was a pleasure to work with and the food was out of this world. Alice seriously created the most beautiful and delicious cake I had ever seen and tasted and was absolutely wonderful during the planning process. Both my guests and I were blown away by the quality, presentation, and uniqueness of the menu and food.
My husband and I would 150% recommend the Carnegie Museum to any bride and groom looking for a showstopping space, and service to match!! You will NOT be disappointed!!
