Phillip and his team were so fantastic in making everything come all together for us. The amount of work they put in was extremely helpful and the day went without any issues at all because of it.

Our experience here was exceptional. This was a beautiful venue with plenty of room for personalization. Phil was amazing! His excellent attention to detail, responsiveness and experience made my daughter's wedding planning feel effortless. Phil and team made sure every detail was handled with care. The banquet staff was incredibly professional and helpful, too. Friendly and accommodating until the end. So many options in the catering menu and the food is delicious. The hotel accommodations are also fantastic. Clean, beautiful rooms. Pet friendly was a major bonus! Highly recommend.

This hotel ballroom is a convenient all-in-one wedding option with on-site rooms, a large lobby/bar, and flexible event spaces. Staff and banquet teams were praised as professional, responsive, and accommodating, and the food and bar were frequently called delicious and customizable. Guests loved the roomy dance floor; minor downsides were a walk to restrooms, some late-evening warmth, and no included breakfast.Review photos

Finding a venue in the winter can be a challenge, but the DoubleTree in Cranberry was the perfect location for our winter celebration. Not only was it nice to have a hotel in locat...
ion for guests to stay, but a huge lobby and hotel bar for guests to enjoy. The only downside is that breakfast is not included. Now, onto the amazing details that will make you rethink having a hotel ballroom wedding (trust me, it was not what I thought I wanted at first, but turned out to be everything we needed and more!)
Staff
I can not say enough about the amazing staff at this doubletree from the patient receptionists, quick housekeeping, friendly maintenance, and serving staff that went above and beyond. Phillip was so much fun to work with and always let me bug him with questions. He worked so well with my coordinator and ensured the staff was down with the plan. Again everyone there was so nice!
Ballroom
The space was plentiful! Huge dance floor and plenty of space to have rectangular and circle tables. The only downsides were it was a bit of a walk for guests to use the bathrooms and it did get kind of warm in the room as that night went on, but that’s expected when everyone is out on the dance floor!
Food
The menu was very flexible and it was easy to make suggestions or ask for changes. I wanted a very Pittsburgh-themed wedding so we asked if they could add perogies as an appetizer. Not only were they so delicious, but the chef even came up with different dipping sauces for us to try. We did a buffet option and the guests were raving about the chicken and steak. They were not dry and guests even commented how it didn’t even taste like buffet food. My husband and I decided on a private dinner before the reception and it was the best idea ever. The hotel set up a private room with candles and plates of all the food we were serving. For people who say they don’t get to eat at their wedding, we did not have that problem. I highly suggest enjoying a private meal while your guests mingle at cocktail hour. My grandfather couldn’t stop raving about the coconut shrimp! The food was fantastic and I wish we could have taken any leftovers home.
Bar
The bar was also a big hit! The hotel was flexible with making some adjustments to the options and the guests loved our signature cocktails. The bar staff was super friendly and quick there was hardly a line all night long.
Hotel ON SITE
One of the things our guests loved the most was that the hotel rooms were right there on site. The lobby was massive for people to hang out and chat. The guests appreciated the hotel lobby bar/restaurant for food and drinks to enjoy the day before the wedding. The rooms are updated, clean, and spacious. I think many people forget how grateful guests can be when they don’t have to worry about driving somewhere or catching the next transportation bus. People could come and go as they pleased.
So think it over and don’t turn your nose up to a hotel ballroom for your wedding day. The Double Tree in Cranberry will make it the smoothest possible event ever and you and your guests will love it!

n track through the year, he answered all of our questions (many which popped up the week of the wedding), he is just wonderful. We had everything we needed in one place. The food for both cocktail hour & dinner was delicious, the employees were friendly & on top of everything.
We had a few additions shortly before the wedding and they accommodated our needs. Highly recommend this venue for weddings. We were able to get ready here, have hair and makeup done here, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, late night snacks at the bar & our block of rooms all in one place to reduce stress on us! Everyone we’ve spoken to raved about the location and the food - which I find isn’t always the case as weddings. Good food was a priority for us & they delivered!
High praise to those that cooked, cleaned, made sure we had what we needed throughout the day and highest of praise to Phil!! He is so personable & loves his work. We couldn’t be happier!

We used this as our hotel for the wedding, not the actual wedding venue, but we had such a great experience, that it deserves a review. Ashley and her team were incredibly accommo...
dating to our family and friends, and made everything so seamless for us on our wedding weekend.
We were originally booked at another hotel for our wedding, but due to a change in ownership, we were stuck looking for another hotel only three months before our wedding. Our venue recommended the DoubleTree Cranberry, and we were so happy with it. The lobby is gorgeous and great for everyone to see each other/hangout/mingle. The rooms were very clean and spacious. Ashley and her team made sure I was booked in the biggest suite to accommodate hair and make up the day of the wedding, then had house keeping come through after we left so my husband and I would return to a clean and fresh room.
Neither my husband or I are from Pittsburgh originally, so we were going to have a lot of people in town for the wedding. We told them roughly what we were expecting for the room block and instead of fighting us on the number of rooms we wanted, they agreed with us and even offered to up it if we needed to.
We stayed at the hotel for a total of three nights, and every night we felt like royalty. The staff was so friendly and happy to help with everything we needed. Dylan at the front desk was even so kind to print off my vows for me the day of my wedding.
Anytime we drive past the hotel now, my husband and I call it "our hotel" and will likely end up staying there again.

roup. The Doubletree was the most accommodating of all. The rooms were very nice, they allowed me to add rooms to my block as necessary, and gave us part of the lobby to hang out in. Kate was fabulous to work with and answered all of my questions. We had no issues and I would absolutely stay there or have an event there again.

Leading up to the wedding, everything was super smooth with booking. We mainly chose this hotel for our room block due to close proximity to our reception venue. Kate the coordinat...
or was very kind and easy to communicate with leading up to the day. However, things went south as we checked in. We had discussed on the phone that my husband would check in the night before our wedding, and have his room to get ready in the next afternoon, and would check out when he left for the wedding. The morning of our wedding he was informed that he needed to be out by 11 (we weren’t to leave for our ceremony until 2) because they had another wedding party checking in. The only solution that was initially offered was for him and his groomsmen to get dressed in the pool locker room. This was cleared up, but was an unnecessary stressor the morning of.
After speaking to guests at our wedding, we discovered that 2 rooms had to be moved due to flooding in their room, one room had to be moved due to the air conditioning not working, and one room did not have a working television. We only had around 10 rooms booked in our room block and it was upsetting that we had issues with 5/10 rooms.
However, the lobby is beautiful, and the breakfast in the morning and the bar in the evening was excellent. It was a great place for us to relax with our wedding party prior to and after our wedding.

Hilton- Double Tree, located in Cranberry, PA.
Since that hot summer day, our experience with Phillip, the Wedding Coordinator, was amazing. The big day was October 26, 2019. We had 120 guests for a buffet dinner and dancing reception. What a night!!!
When Phillip gave my husband and I a tour of the ballroom before the doors were open to our quests, I was simply speechless. I had no idea what to expect. I was brought to tears as I made my way around the room. We have been accused of being very fussy when it comes to service and expectations. Well…the Double Tree has certainly raised that bar for the next big event in our life. The food, the lighting, the table set up, the cookie table, the memory table, all were beyond words. I gave Phillip boxes of items for each table mentioned and said do with it what you feel would fit and, wow, once again, speechless!!
The staff as a whole could not have been more helpful and supportive to each of our guests, family, and Bridal Party.
I do have words to share with you now. Attention you wedding venue shoppers, please go and see Phillip at the Double Tree, located on Rt. 19 in Cranberry, for a life time of memories, I promise you, you will not regret it!!

met with Phil, we knew that they were super experienced and we loved the updated modern space. Phil helped us throughout the entire planning process by setting up meetings to go over details at certain points and kept us on track. Phil was always very responsive and helpful with any questions. After meeting with Phil about a month before the wedding and then two days before, we went over all of the final details and I knew we were in perfect hands. He totally understood our vision for how we wanted the space to look and once we saw it the day of the wedding we were blown away. We were even running late after getting pictures after the ceremony and he was calm and collected and got us right back on track! During the reception, the staff was so friendly and fun, every time we got a drink from the bar they made sure we didn't wait! After the wedding was over, the staff cleaned and packed up all of the wedding decor we supplied and even took it back to our room for the night. From beginning to end, the Doubletree and Phil made our wedding so enjoyable and relaxing!

My husband and I got married on 12/31/2018 at the Doubletree, and where do I even begin? Our experience with the Doubletree was beyond amazing!
Phil! I cannot speak highly enough...
of Phil, he is the wedding coordinator at the Doubletree and from the moment we met him he made the process so worry and stress free!
Anthony, who also works the weddings, was great too! Anything we needed during the reception he was on it immediately!
The food: I have received so many compliments on how wonderful the food was. We did a buffet style dinner and everything was hot and delicious!
The venue: The hotel in itself is beautiful, so once we added our personal touches it looked amazing. The Doubletree let me personalize so many things to make my reception look exactly like what I dreamed of!
The Doubletree well exceeded my expectations for our NYE wedding! I would recommend this hotel to anyone getting married because they make everything so easy for the bride and groom! The venue, food, staff, EVERYTHING was top notch!

Tree - the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and after party were all just steps away from each other - it could not have been easier for guests to move from one part of the event to the next.
Phillip, the event coordinator, was amazing from day one, as was everyone else we encountered throughout the entire planning process and the day of the wedding. Phillip was organized, responsive, knowledgeable and his well timed sense of humor kept me laughing through the stress that the final weeks before the wedding brought. It was refreshing to talk to him in those stressful moments, I always left our conversations feeling confident that all would go as planned. The food was great and the event staff could not have done a better job.
The hotel bar/restaurant were the perfect atmosphere for the after party. The guest rooms were wonderful and the breakfast buffet the morning after was a big hit!
We also had walls draped and lighting in both the ceremony and reception rooms that was done by the DoubleTree. They made great recommendations and everything looked fabulous! We used outside vendors for musician/DJ and cake that were recommended by the venue and they were fabulous as well!

answered every question that I had promptly and was very informative. The newly remodeled ballroom is beautiful, the food was delicious (we chose prime rib, asiago chicken, garlic mashed potatoes & green beans). Our guests all commented on how good their meal was and they were very pleased with the variety of liquor and did not have to stand in line to get served. We would not have changed a thing as everything went just as we had planned. Toni, Eleanor & the rest of the staff could not have been any more pleasant and accommodating. I would highly recommend the Doubletree in Cranberry as one of the top places in our area to host a wedding reception. We had a great experience!

My family and I recently had the pleasure of enjoying my son's wedding reception at the Doubletree in Cranberry Twp, PA. As we live outside of the area, we also stayed at the hote...
l for several days before the wedding and the night of the reception. (we live in Florida. Other family members came in from Texas, Colorado, Ohio and Spain)
Every member of the staff, from maintenance to housekeeping, front desk clerks to servers and management were courteous, professional and understanding with the myriad of requests we had to make. No question was too mundane, no detail too small to handle. Planning a long distance event is never easy, yet the staff of this hotel made it effortless and seamless. Particular kudos need to go to the catering manager Phillip. His knowledge, guidance and sense of humor were greatly appreciated. Any establishment would be lucky to have him in their employ.
My husband and I, and the entire family, would highly recommend the Doubletree in Cranberry for any event or length of stay. They are that good.

tions have created an absolutely beautiful environment for a reception but the staff at this hotel is what puts this venue over the top. The event coordinator, Phillip, deserves particular credit for his professionalism, responsiveness, and overall class that he showed from day one until the evening of our reception. Phillip and his staff made sure to take every detail into consideration. The staff worked with our videographer, DJ, photographer, and other vendors to ensure our timeframe and other events went as planned. This is definitely something that we appreciated on the day of our wedding, due to all of the planning that led up to it. If you are looking for a beautiful venue and a team that genuinely cares about the quality of your wedding reception, look no further. I would highly recommend this particular venue and team to anyone interested in a reception located in the Greater Pittsburgh Area.

We did and then some. We had over 50 rooms booked, our rehearsal dinner, our wedding ceremony all at the Doubletree. They helped us with transportation back and forth to the reception as well. It was like working with family. Everyone bent over backward to make sure we were satisfied with everything. A special thanks to Henry for the fantastic food and to Allyssa for helping me make my ceremony site look so great. All of the support will never be forgotten and we hope we get to work with you all again for something else in the future, even if we have to make up a reason!!!
