Pittsburgh is our hometown market and where Modern Era Weddings was founded in 2009. Sixteen years later we're a Knot Hall of Fame DJ, top-rated on WeddingWire, and have produced over a thousand Pittsburgh weddings.
Here's the local breakdown.
Top Pittsburgh wedding venues
The Pennsylvanian, Pittsburgh's grandest historic landmark wedding venue. The original 1900 Union Station, now a soaring Beaux-Arts ballroom for up to 400 guests. Acoustically excellent with a 70-foot vaulted ceiling.
PPG Wintergarden, Glass-enclosed atrium at the foot of PPG Place. The most iconic indoor wedding setting in downtown Pittsburgh. 8,000 sq ft, accommodates 300+ seated.
National Aviary, The country's only independent indoor nonprofit aviary. A truly unique ceremony backdrop under a tropical canopy with live tropical birds. Smaller capacity, unforgettable experience.
Phipps Conservatory, Botanical garden weddings in a Victorian glass house. Strict ceremony-only or limited-reception use depending on the room.
Hotel Monaco, Boutique downtown Pittsburgh hotel with a bold modern aesthetic. Smaller weddings, big design statement.
Sheraton Station Square, Riverfront with full skyline views. Workhorse Pittsburgh wedding venue with large capacity.
What makes Pittsburgh weddings different
- Cookie tables. If you're not from here, ask a Pittsburgher. It's serious business.
- The Steelers, Penguins, Pirates connection. Pittsburgh weddings feature city pride in ways most American cities don't. We've played the Steelers fight song at more first dances than we can count.
- Industrial-romantic aesthetic. Brick, steel, river views. Pittsburgh weddings have a distinct visual identity.
- Multi-generational dance floors. Pittsburgh families know how to throw a party across generations. Polka still appears on the must-play list.
