Everything about our wedding day was perfect! The entire Embassy Suites team was exceptional and the entire planning process was so easy. The weekend of our big event everyone kept me calm and assured me all details would be perfect. They didn’t lie! Everything turned out fantastic and our guests are still raving about how great the food was, how beautiful the venue was, and how wonderful their accommodations were. When choosing a venue I very rarely heard people using this location and couldn’t figure out why. The setup was great, the building has so much great Pittsburgh character and the wedding packages were very competitive in comparison to other downtown options. We loved everything about our special day and are so glad we had the privilege of working with the entire team at Embassy Suites Pittsburgh Downtown.

WOW! What an underrated venue the Embassy Suites is! I wasn’t even going to look at it when we were touring venues, but the coordinator, Lori, is a family friend so I agreed and I’m so happy that we did! From start to finish, Lori and her team at the Embassy were absolutely incredible! Lori answered all of my crazy questions throughout the wedding planning process. The week of the wedding I sent her a 6 page document outlining exactly how I wanted our decor set up and she exceeded our expectations! I was stunned at how beautiful the venue looked when we walked in. The building itself has so many unique touches, from the ornate gold elevators to the white marble floor. We had about 130 guests and the ballroom felt like the perfect size. The food was incredible! We did a plated meal of salmon, chicken and filet, and people were raving about how delicious it was. The servers and bartenders were so kind and attentive to our needs. We also hosted an after party at the hotel bar afterwards and it was so convenient for our guests! I cannot recommend the Embassy Suites enough! It was the perfect space for our wedding!

We had my daughter's wedding at the Embassy Suites on May 13, 2023, and it was AMAZING. They had had a 250-person prom the night before, so Saturday morning things looked a little rough... but within a few hours they had addressed our concerns (and were very receptive and professional) and everything went off without a hitch. From Friday night's check-in and giving out our pre-made guest bags to our out of town guests, to the wonderfully friendly Gastropub bar staff later assisting us with entertaining our guests! Then Saturday, they cleaned up the prom mess (can you say glitter!!) and let us fully enjoy our day, we rented an additional conference room as our ladies get ready room - it worked out great!! We (7 bridesmaids, bride and 2 Moms plus 4 professionals) had plenty of room to relax, get ready and we moms could answer any questions for the reception room set-up down the hall, that came up. All of the support staff were so friendly and seemed just as excited for our big day as we were! Lori the event coordinator and her assistant Rebecca had everything under control, the cocktail hour was set up as we wanted, our cookie table crew was able to come in and set up and the florist came in and set up the reception area as well (the florist is wonderful and was through the venue - One Happy Flower Shop - amazing flowers that still look great 5 days later!).
After the ceremony at the church, they had a private cocktail area for the bridal party which was great and very appreciated! The regular cocktail area is a big "L" and was enough room for the 165 guest to mingle, get drinks from the 2 bars and gets snacks while warm appetizers were serviced by roaming servers. Then Lori got everyone into the reception and the bridal party came in and was announced by the DJ. The room was just the right size for a wedding of 165. I wouldn't recommend over 175 in the big ballroom. You had room to move about, but it was full. Dinner was served and it was amazing! The potato soup was really one of the best I've ever had. The steak melted in your mouth, very tender and full of flavor. My daughter loved the veggie option. I was told the chicken was "OK". The cake was provided by the venue, the couple had chosen a chocolate and vanilla with a raspberry filling - it was excellent.
They cleared the tables, and the rest of the night was a filled dance floor and amazing memories! The waitstaff asked you often if you needed anything, even after dinner. The 2 bars remained open until 10:30 and the bartenders were so efficient, and the drinks were good, not watered down!
I would recommend the Embassy Suites to anyone looking for a wedding venue. My daughter picked them for the all-inclusive cost, room, catering, florist, cake. The facilities are very well maintained, and the staff go above and beyond to meet your needs. From the valet parking to the event coordinator, they take care of you! And Lori was wonderful work with through the whole planning process, always very responsive to emails etc.
