The marquee letters from Alpha Lit Pittsburgh elevated the "wow" factor of our wedding reception at a reasonable cost! Our venue was the Circuit Center & Ballroom, which is a large...
event hall that can seat up to 500 people. Having our last name in lights in the front of the stage created a warmth and focus in the large event space that really tied all of our planning details together, and it was amazing for photos! We received so many compliments on it from our family and friends, especially those who share our last name :)
During the planning process, Pati was responsive, friendly, and flexible as we changed our minds a few times on where we wanted the marquee letters to be positioned. It was so nice that the Pati coordinated with the event venue for pickup and drop off so it was one less thing for us to worry about leading up to and after our big day. We highly recommend that you book Alpha Lit Pittsburgh for your next event - you won't regret it!
