J. Vernos Studios is by far the best wedding reception studio in Pittsburgh. My husband and I knew that we HAD to have our wedding there from the second we stepped foot into the building. J Vernos is contemporary and chic......it gave us a totally different wedding experience. Compliments about our venue are still coming......family and friends stating "this is the coolest wedding venue we've ever seen." We seated 200 people comfortably within the studio. Paul, building manager, is WONDERFUL to work with. He knows how J Vernos runs inside and out. He helped us with planning, floor lay out, setup, and tear down......there was never a time that Paul didn't promptly get back to us about questions we had. We opted to get the photo booth and it was a HIT!! Jay has a whole entire room dedicated to props (the most props I've ever seen at a photo booth). The photo booth was so fun and so popular there was a line to get pictures taken (which the guests didn't mind because they played with all the props while waiting). The only word of advice I have related to J. Vernos is you MUST book far in advance ( at least 13 months). We went and viewed the venue, went home and discussed budget, and by the time we called back (24 hours later) our date was already booked. However, luckily we were still able to book another date......I couldn't see myself celebrating our marriage anywhere else.

We had our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all at J Verno Studios on June 1, 2013. Wow, I can't believe how awesome our wedding was. This venue is incredible. From the outside the building looks like an industrial warehouse, but once you step inside you will be blown away. Super modern and chic. Guests were in love with the space and so were we! So happy we chose to have our wedding here. It felt like we were in LA or NYC! Another huge plus was the multiple great photo opp areas inside and outside the building. I can't wait to see our photos. The venue also provided all the uplighting which was soft and added the perfect touch. If you are looking for a non-traditional, modern, unique, hip venue for your wedding, hands down J Verno Studios is the only place in Pittsburgh!

We actively looked for a venue that would combine our personalities and allow us to come up with a wedding that was "us." J. Verno Studios did just that. Jay and Paul were wonderful to work with. The venue was beautiful and unique, with separate areas for cocktail hour, dinner, and our ceremony. Our guests loved the photo booth and the ability to project it onto the video wall and monitors in the reception area.

Being able to bring our own vendors and alcohol was another huge perk, and a large part of the reason that we selected J. Verno Studios. We can't thank you enough for helping us make our wedding day beautiful and special!
