Cambria Hotel Pittsburgh-Downtown

mpt in their responses to questions, accommodating to our special requests, and willing to do everything in their power to make our special day perfect. We loved that our wedding reception was the only major event being hosted at Cambria that day because this allowed for personalized attention that other venues with multiple ballrooms could not provide. Our guests loved the beautiful view of downtown from the patio during our cocktail hour, the fabulous appetizers and dinner, and the proximity of Cambria to all the fun of downtown Pittsburgh including the complimentary local shuttle bus. I would highly recommend Cambria Hotel & Suites Pittsburgh to host a wedding reception!

person in my or my husband's family who was not treated with the utmost respect and care while we were there. If I had the choice to go back in time and have my wedding at either at Cambria or the Ritz- I would Choose Cambria without hesitation. This level of quality and friendliness is what makes Cambria more than a hotel. Choosing them for our wedding venue was absolutely the best decision my husband and I made about our big day. When we got back from our honeymoon all of our friends and family asked us "were there any big mistakes or blunders that happened on your day of?" and these days, everyone has a story from their own wedding they can usually relate- but not us. Everything was perfect about our reception. I have high expectations, and when you plan something for so long you hope that it goes perfectly- but you still worry! On my day, I didn't have to worry for a second because every single moment we were working with them- from the lovely tour of the whole hotel- to the last moments of our stay on our way out to leave on honeymoon was extraordinary. Before we picked them, my husband and I went on at least a dozen different venue tours in and around Pittsburgh before we arrived at Cambria. We were on a budget, but we kept leaving other venues with the feeling that they didn't really care about us- that they were just as likely to forget an important detail since they rarely could remember our names. Touring Cambria was a complete opposite experience, because of Tracy Anderson! She toured us through the hotel, and really listened to us when we explained our budget. Rather than nickle-and-diming us, or hiding the fees and taxes the way other venues did- she gave us several options for cutting cost while making sure that our experience would be special. Tracy Anderson is the single-most wonderful, organized, and helpful person I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Her diligence and and commitment to excellence meant that every aspect of planning an execution was perfect and beyond what we could have ever imagined. Knowing that Tracy was working on so many of the aspects of our weekend gave us so much peace of mind! Her confidence and experience meant that we were comfortable trusting her. I wish I had Tracy Anderson around to organize everything else about my life! Our menu tasting was a BLAST! Again, my husband and I are kind of foodies so we weren't expecting too much from what we thought would be run-of-the-mill 'hotel food'. Boy did we underestimate them! The courses were fresh, bright, inventive and so filling. When we attended the menu tasting we had so much fun, it felt like a night out at an high-end restaurant. Each course went into the next one seamlessly on the day of. The chef created a custom and very creative menu for us, complete with pasta MADE FROM SCRATCH!! The week before the big day, he even sent me an email with a video of him and the sous chefs rolling it out! I was floored by such a five-star kind of treatment. They also helped create special meals for all of our guests with allergies! The staff- cleaning staff, servers, shuttle drivers, receptionists, managers, and bartenders all went out of their way to make sure that we were having a perfect, five star experience. Book them now and thank me later!

hin short walking distance to downtown and shuttle distance to the church in Lawrenceville. We were able to accommodate all of our family on site in their spacious and well-appointed rooms. Several of us were in suites, which were large, comfortable, and in the bride’s case, had the most amazing views of downtown. The facilities were great, we utilized the business center multiple times for last minute printing needs, and our kids wore out the pool and the gym. The Cambria was an excellent financial value, from the room rates to the reception costs. The Cambria has a real star in its special events coordinator, Tracy Anderson. She is the reason our experience was so fabulous, working closely with us well in advance of the big day. First, she is unflappable, cheerful and engaging. Second, she has great contacts in Pittsburgh and was able to help us find the vendor support we needed. Third, she was a great team leader, ensuring that the wonderful staff were in all hands on deck mode all weekend. Fourth, Tracy made us feel so special, as if we were the first and only family to have an event there, instilling a huge level of confidence that the entire event was completely under control at all times. What could have been a stressful time preparing was instead a relaxed opportunity for us to spend time with family and friends, knowing that all of the details were being managed. The food was outstanding for our plated dinner. The portions were huge, and each course was delicious. Tracy even sent us a video of Chef Joe Nolan preparing our ravioli course by hand! He also went above and beyond to accommodate our guests with dietary restrictions which was appreciated. The bartenders and waitstaff were professional, friendly and attentive to all of our needs. There were so many little details that contributed to one of the most memorable weekends our family has or will ever have. The front desk Team (Rula, Steve and Kelby), for example, managed the distribution of welcome letters and gifts for our guests. Shuttle driver Erica made a special trip across town to retrieve the lost item of one of our party. The hotel arranged for special security the night of the event to ensure that our guests had sufficient onsite parking. Tracy was able to respond to last minute needs we had with graceful efficiency. The reception space was sparkling clean and the patio area connecting the bar with the ballroom added overflow space with a fantastic view of downtown Pittsburgh. So happy we chose The Cambria for our special event, and cannot recommend them more highly.
