The venue was absolutely stunning, surpassing our expectations in every way. The SteelStacks in the background made for the most breathtaking backdrop, resulting in some truly gorgeous photos that we'll cherish forever. The beauty of the space was only matched by the exceptional service provided by the entire team, especially Susan Drexinger. Susan was a joy to work with, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. She listened to our ideas and turned our vision into reality.
The food was another highlight of our experience. There were so many options to choose from, and every dish was prepared to perfection. The catering team was a joy to work with and we received so many compliments with many stating it was some of the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding.
The day itself was flawless, thanks to Susan and her team's meticulous attention to detail. Everything ran perfectly, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-organized, and unforgettable wedding experience.
I don’t have the words to describe how perfect this venue was! Our coordinator, Susan, was amazing! We met with her and her team (in person and online) frequently to make sure all of our needs were being met and that every detail was accounted for. Guests raved about the food, we had steak/duck/salmon/vegetarian options. They loved the desserts. The drinks were flowing! We loved having both the ceremony and reception in the same place so our guests didn’t have to travel. It was a perfect choice for us and we’d do it again in a heartbeat!
My husband and I recently had the privilege of celebrating our special day at ArtsQuest in the Blast Furnace Room, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we first stepped foot on the premises, we were swept away by the magic and elegance that this wedding venue exudes. We can confidently say that choosing ArtsQuest was the best decision we made for our wedding.
First and foremost, we were blown away by the exceptional service provided by the staff. From the moment we inquired about booking the venue, their team was attentive, responsive, and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. They truly understood the importance of this day and made us feel like the most special couple in the world.
The venue itself is a breathtaking masterpiece. The architecture and landscaping are impeccable, providing a stunning backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Our guests were in awe of the beauty that surrounded them, and many commented that it was the most picturesque wedding they had ever attended.
One of the standout features of ArtsQuest is their attention to detail. The event planning team worked closely with us to customize every aspect of our wedding, from the layout and decor to the menu and entertainment. They brought our vision to life in a way that exceeded our wildest dreams. The level of personalization and care they put into every element of the day truly made it unique and memorable.
The culinary experience deserves special mention. The food was not only delectable but also beautifully presented. Our guests raved about the delicious dishes, and we were impressed by the creativity and quality of the cuisine. The catering team ensured that every guest's dietary needs and preferences were accommodated.
What truly set them apart, though, was the impeccable service provided on the day of our wedding. The staff was professional, attentive, and seemed to anticipate our needs before we even had to ask. They seamlessly managed every aspect of the event, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our day. It was evident that they took great pride in their work and were dedicated to making our wedding a flawless and unforgettable experience.
In conclusion, we cannot recommend ArtsQuest enough for anyone looking for an extraordinary wedding venue. From the moment you step foot on the grounds to the last dance of the night, you will be treated to a level of service and elegance that is simply unparalleled. Our wedding day was a dream come true, thanks in large part to the incredible team. If you want your wedding to be a day of pure magic and perfection, look no further. ArtsQuest is the place where dreams become reality.
I am not sure I am able to accurately put into words how fantastic our wedding experience was with the Steelstacks team. We chose our wedding date at Steelstacks a week before COVID really hit the US. Despite all the chaos of 2020 (and let’s be honest, most of 2021), Steelstacks was right there with us the whole time, checking in and making sure we kept plans moving.
Adrienne Rivas’ official title might be Catering Director, but if you ask me, she should probably have about 10 titles behind her name. I cannot imagine a better vendor experience. Adrienne walked us through every single detail of wedding planning enthusiasm and patience, and offered her expert advice on pieces we never would have thought of that made a world of difference.
Not only was our planning process easy and fun, our wedding day was flawless. No, really, I am not exaggerating when I say that everything went off without a hitch. From ceremony rehearsal and morning-of “getting ready” space, to hunting down chairs with arms for our Hora dance, and making sure my husband and I had food and drinks all night long - We did not have to worry for one second.
I am so appreciative of every single staff member at Steelstacks who helped make our wedding day so wonderful. They are the best team you will ever have the pleasure of choosing to pull off your special event!
All we wanted was the perfect night - and we absolutely got it! From the wedding ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception there wasn’t one moment that didn’t exceed expectations! Adrienne was a dream to work with. At a time where practically everything in the world seemed a little uncertain she was a beacon of confidence and the embodiment of competence. She made every meeting, every decision, and every last minute tweak seamless. The SteelStacks is so beautiful and such a tribute to this city we love; the staff was amazing, the food and drinks were top-notch, and our guests all loved it. To a person they stayed and danced and laughed until “they didn’t have to go home but they couldn’t stay here.” We would give 10 stars if we could, and I was sad the night had to end. Perfect venue. Fabulous people. And a night we’ll never forget!
We just hosted the most magical wedding reception in the Musikfest Cafe at the Steel Stacks! The venue is spectacular - with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Steel Stacks. The food and drinks were great. And our guests can't stop raving about the whole experience.
Not only were the results fantastic but the process of planning the event was actually fun. Susan and Adrienne are so knowledgeable and helpful, you'll actually enjoy the planning.
To say that it has been a pleasure working with Susan and the ArtsQuest family is an understatement. The moment my fiance and I reached out to their team in regard to hosting a large wedding reception, I knew we made the right decision. Susan and her team were very responsive throughout the entire process, and we felt comfortable asking questions and receiving the team's guidance. Not only is the venue absolutely stunning with massive glass windows overlooking the steel stacks, but it also offers an incredible menu. Although Covid-19 had different plans for our (canceled) wedding reception, the ArtsQuest team offered our deposit back, which many venues wouldn't dare to do. My fiance and I are very confident we will find a reason to host another celebration at the venue in the future. Thank you to Susan and the ArtsQuest team for going above and beyond. I would absolutely recommend ArtsQuest's venue to any soon-to-be bride, without question.
We just held our cocktail hour and reception in the Musikfest Cafe at the ArtsQuest Center, and I can't say enough good things about our experience. With the help of Terry, everything that we wanted came to life without any hitches along the way. The staff, food, ambience, and everything in between was amazing.
While I'm originally from Bethlehem, my husband's family and friends are mostly from NY and NJ, so weren't that familiar with SteelStacks. SO many people came up to me that night to comment on how unique the venue was, and we're still receiving comments from people, a couple of weeks later!
Also, if your budget allows, consider having a band, as ArtsQuest was made to host concerts (among other things), and the acoustics are out of this world!
In a nutshell, ArtsQuest is unforgettable and unique...both things every wedding should be.
Great food, very organized, beautiful setting - overall an absolutely great venue.
Everything about our daughter's wedding was perfect.
The ceremony and celebration were exactly the way we had hoped the wedding details and plans would be.
The vibe at ArtsQuest is great. The food was plentiful and delicious. And most importantly, the staff is phenomenal. Led by Susan and Adrienne, the entire staff was friendly, helpful, hardworking and thorough.
Thank you to ArtsQuest for the BEST event - you are absolutely wonderful.
You gave us the Time of Our Lives !!!
Having visited a number of interchangeable golf courses and other reception venues in our lifetimes, my fiancee Connie and I were looking for something exciting and different as we planned our 12/19/15 wedding. One visit to the ArtsQuest Center at Steel Stacks told us that we had found all of that and more. Susan and her terrific team worked wonders in helping us turn our vision into an unforgettable day. We took photos at the old factory, had our ceremony in the Blast Furnace Room, then partied the night away upstairs as our band rocked the venue. Susan and her team also helped coordinate a couple of surprises outside, with a food truck and a 'Back to the Future' time machine (at our request - our favorite movie!). The food, drinks and service were wonderful, and there is literally not a thing that we would have changed about the night. This venue had it all and will keep our friends and family buzzing for a long time to come. They were terrific professionals, anticipated all of our needs and made it the best night of our lives.
Having our wedding at the ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks was absolutely the greatest decision my husband and I made regarding our wedding. The juxtaposition of the historic industrial ceremony space with the modern industrial reception space made this venue unique and one-of-a-kind. It matched our personalities perfectly, and we will always be grateful that we were able to have our wedding there. Our guests still haven’t stopped complementing the food, the atmosphere, and the beauty of the venue…and we got married 5 months ago!
We worked with Susan and Adrienne throughout the planning process and both did an incredible job giving us advice, helping us make decisions, and pointing out details we didn’t even know existed. We could not have done this without them. Growing up in Bethlehem, this venue holds a special place in my heart, and I could not be happier to have chosen it as the place my husband and I would say our I-do’s. Thanks to everyone involved!!
My groom and I just got married at the ArtsQuest at Steelstacks this past January and it was perfect!
Susan and Andrienne were so easy to plan and coordinate with, and everything was stress free for me. I enjoyed the fact that you can set up the reception space any way you envision, so polka dots were rampant (no questions asked). ;)
Most importantly, the food was amazing and I still have guests contacting me about what a cool, amazing, and unique experience our wedding reception turned out to be. I loved our special day. Thank you, ArtsQuest at Steelstacks!
As a bride, I wanted something different, elegant, fun, and anything but barn rustic! I got it all at Stacks with help from Susan Drexinger and the staff! What a wonderful night! Great FOOD! Everyone loved the gorgeous bar! WE almot went for the downstairs room, but the Musickfest Cafe is all that and more! Upgrade and love it! The balcony was great! We had our ceremony there because my church was too far, and it was beautiful! Thanks for everything! It was perfect! So Accomodating with everything!
The SteelStacks was an amazing venue for our wedding reception. Aside from the fantastic location and great views from the Musikfest cafe, the service was wonderful. In the beginning it was hard to reach the staff, but by the time we needed the help, Susan did all she could to make everything perfect. Every single guest raved about the food, which was very important it us. Susan even suggested ethnic side dishes for cocktail hour since many of the guests were Arabic - and they were a hit! They were professional throughout the entire process up until the very last minute. Although the venue is pricier than many others in the area, it was worth every penny! I would choose this venue again in a heartbeat!
Susan and her team truly worked to ensure that my reception exceeded all expectations. They were consummate professionals and always had time for questions, whether major or insignificant. If anything unanticipated popped up, the solution was merely a phone call or email away. Their attention to detail was unmatched. The food was outstanding and a fantastic time was had by all.
Got married there for our October 2013 wedding, and obviously the venue is gorgeous, but another reason we went with ArtsQuest is because of the awesome staff. These girls are AMAZING. They are all about communication, which is big for me. Our wedding day was the BEST day of our lives, and we have a big part of that to owe to ArtsQuest. Love you guys!
This venue is stunning with windows from floor to ceiling that faced out to the Bethlehem Steel. Both our families were Bethlehem Steel families so this place had a lot of meaning to us. We were in the Musikfest Cafe with 220 people, a live band, and a dance floor. It all fit very comfortably. We had the cocktail hour on the outside deck which is covered and on the 4th floor balcony that overlooked the venue. They set up everything beautifully and they really understood my vision for the wedding. Susan and her staff were so accommodating and wonderful. I would recommend this venue time and time again.
The Steel Stacks was our number one choice for our ceremony and reception from the start. We didn't even look at any other venues. Based on the venue, we decided to make our wedding a 40's theme.
Our ceremony was held in the PNC courtyard. The backdrop for our ceremony was the old steel mill. It was absolutely beautiful and looks great in the pictures.
Our reception was across the street in the Musikfest Café. This venue can fit up to 300 people. We only had about 185 so there was a huge dance floor.
Our wedding coordinator, Susan was amazing. She was so organized and worked well with our vendors. She worked very hard to make sure the ceremony and reception went very smoothly. She is friendly, easy to work with and very excited to help you have a perfect day.
The ArtsQuest Center at Steel Stacks was SUCH an amazing venue. We pretty much knew we wanted our reception there as soon as we saw it. We had our reception in the Blast Furnace Room, which holds up to 210 people. They do have a larger concert area upstairs that holds up to 500 or so. The venue is fairly new, but well-known in town and is such an awesome place. We loved it!!
