DoubleTree by Hilton Pittsburgh - Meadow Lands

r wedding and our preferences! Lia made our wedding day stress-free as she was so prepared for everything and if a small issue popped up, Lia took care of it without concerning us. Also, Lia was able to exceed all of our expectations in terms of planning for our big day! We truly want to thank her for all that she did to make our day so special and beautiful from decorations to the venue itself. In that line of thought, the Doubletree Hotel by Hilton is a magnificent venue for a wedding reception. Our wedding reception was held in the Grand Ballroom and it was a perfect space. We had around 150 guests and the ballroom was certainly a comfortable environment for the number of guests we had. For our reception, we chose the dual plate dinner option and we were very pleased with the manner in which the food was presented and the quality of the food! Adjacent to the Grand Ballroom is the courtyard, which was a perfect place for photographs, with a beautiful gazebo. Everything was decorated in an appropriate manner for the season and we truly loved the venue. In terms of the hotel side of things, The staff of the Doubletree is truly caring and sensitive people. Many of our guests booked a room at the Doubletree for after the reception and I heard many positive comments about the rooms themselves as well from our family and friends. The staff at the hotel made the experience of checking in and out pleasant for our guests as well as many of our family and friends enjoyed breakfast at the Doubletree the morning after our reception. Last but not least, an example of the hospitality of the staff and our wedding coordinator was my wife and I made a special request for a s'mores dessert bar because we have a sweet tooth and the Doubletree Hotel staff made it happen! It turned out so perfectly. Ultimately, the staff truly demonstrated excellent service and Lia was a wonderful wedding coordinator!

ter result!

our request! EVERY event we did … bridal shower, rehearsal & the reception was handled as though we were the only client she was working with. The food, space and all the “extras” were 2nd to none! I highly recommend having your wedding here . You will not be disappointed! Michelle handled EVERY room request with such professionalism. Honestly these two MADE my daughters wedding day PERFECT!

wers, etc and allow for upgrades!

went above and beyond for us. I would absolutely recommend working with her and I hope to work with her again with future events.

Not only was Lia a dream to work with, the entire Doubletree staff went above and beyond for every single person that had an interaction with !! If I could I would give the venue 10 stars!!! Thank you for making my dreams come true!

t 2021. Lia was by far the best coordinator we worked with during the planning process! Our package was a bit outdated that we had signed the contract for, but Lia went out of her way to make sure we got everything we were expecting and made everything perfect for us. Lia was professional, encouraging, quick to respond, and was the calm presence I needed during such a hectic weekend. She made sure everything went perfectly and took care of everything behind the scenes. The Doubletree really gives you an "all inclusive" feel because of how well they work with other vendors and help you bring everything together. We also worked with Gretchen for a period of time between coordinators and she was so helpful and wonderful to work with. We couldn't have asked for a better team to work with and we were so appreciative of all of them. We were surrounded by all of our family and friends, but all of the staff at the Doubletree extended their love and truly made us feel so welcomed and loved!

rformed the ceremony and it was perfect and he also made sure all the guests were taken care of. Bethal bakery and L&M flower shop did a beautiful job. Would highly recommend the DoubleTree , Lia, and entire staff for anyone planning a wedding -- even long distance!! Thanks to everyone.

u want the ease of having most things included in one package, the top quality of a premier wedding, and a cost that is reasonable, book here!!

details and different options. Special shout out to Lia - Wedding and Catering Sales Manager - she was so on top of everything, very well organized, answered my every email/call promptly and professionally, even carried one of my flower girls down the aisle when they got shy. I will treasure that memory for sure! The guys at the front desk were amazing as well, we worked with Tim a good bit, everyone was so personable, genuine, and made sure our day and our stay was up to our expectations. We had quite a few people from out of town stay at the hotel for a night, if not more, and the staff was so helpful in getting everyone settled in and taken care of throughout their stay. I cannot thank the staff enough for all their hard work!

uded the ceremony space, grand ballroom, food, chairs, linens, cake, centerpieces etc. It was really convenient that we didn't have to keep track of multiple vendors since the DoubleTree worked with them on our behalf. Our wedding coordinator was Nichole Cogar and she is AMAZING!! She really takes care of her brides and grooms from planning, to day of and even after the wedding. I added in a bunch of add-ons to our wedding package and she was accommodating with all of the extras. Since we live in Pittsburgh you never know about the weather and day of it was 90 degrees at the end of September with 80% humidity/chance of rain. Nichole easily moved everything inside into the grand ballroom where she transformed it into our ceremony space. You would not have known you were standing/sitting in the same spot as our reception space! The grand ballroom was BEAUTIFUL as our reception space once everything was set up. We could not have imaged it being more perfect. The food was excellent and I highly recommend the onion bisque, that was a fan favorite of the night. We are so happy we chose the DoubleTree as our venue but really could not have had done everything without Nichole. She really made it the best day ever!

y incredible! They took care of every day of detail that I needed and were there to support me and my party in anything that we needed. Prior to that Dan was amazing! He answered every question and was so supportive and considerate during the planning process. The entire staff was so kind and excited for us which made my special day feel even more special! I honestly can’t say enough about the people, the gorgeous venue that literally took my breath away and made me cry, and the vendors that were recommended (minus the flower studio the florist was subpar) were beyond what I expected! I would recommend anyone to the double tree and would never hesitate to have another party here!

g would be stressful and difficult but Daniel alleviated all of that stress with us. He was prompt and understanding of all our needs. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful! The gazebo/courtyard area outside was perfect for our ceremony and then the ballroom inside was right there. Everything was setup exactly how we imagined it to be except even better. The food was absolutely amazing as well. I have nothing to even critique about our experience here. Incredibly affordable for what they offer too. My favorite thing about the entire experience is the subtle touches and things Daniel did for us. He showed a lot of care for our wedding and we really appreciated that. From the beauty of the place to service we got and everything in between... I can't suggest DoubleTree by Hilton - Meadow Lands enough. Everything you need from start to finish is right there. Thank you everyone for making our day that much more special!

had my now husband's surprise birthday party there a few months prior which Dan helped me plan. They are very professional. The hotel itself is beautiful and clean. Dan, the wedding/sales coordinator at this location was very thoughtful in every aspect of our wedding. Any questions we may have had, he answered right away. Any issues we may have had, which were very few to begin with, he took care of. We were never in the dark with Dan and knew everything we needed to know. Every staff member truly made our day very special and I don't know what I would have done without them. Being a bride is stressful enough with all the planning and little details to make it a perfect day. Personally, I did not have a lot of help with the planning but Dan really stepped up and helped me with whatever I needed. I wouldn't change anything. It truly was a perfect day. Nothing went wrong and everything was on time. I love the Doubletree by Hilton Meadowlands and their staff, especially Dan!!

father especially with the Italian food service something they have never done before and ACED IT!!! Every step of the way, any issues that I thought I was having Daniel and Camille were quick to answer my emails and calls and calm this bride right on down! They both are so down to earth and relatable it made it super easy to feel comfortable and confident in letting them have a MAJOR role in planning our big day! Honestly, 5 stars isn’t enough for this place and their staff and how amazingly they accommodated every crazy idea we threw their way from the need to have a polka band/dj, having to order extra plates and silverware for the Italian dinner serving, having to change the tables to accommodate the number of people we had (again Italian/Slovenian wedding needed lots of room for our large family)!! Hats off to Daniel,Camille and their staff! You gave us a day everyone will remember including the new Mr. and Mrs. Cadez and We couldn’t appreciate the hard work and dedication you all displayed for us!!!

bridal party all day. They made sure everything was perfect. When we got to walk through the reception area first, I seriously wanted to cry. It was so beautiful and exactly what we wanted. They paid attention to every small detail down to our snack table. Our guests raved about the hotel, food, and service all weekend. Michelle even helped the groomsmen with their pocket squares and ties! She was a lifesaver on the day of. I would highly recommend having your wedding here.

choosing vendors a breeze, which made everything come together beautifully! Stefanie, Dan and Michelle were top notch In making sure our wedding day went off without a hitch...everything went smooth, the day was stress free and every detail was attended to! (What more could a bride ask for?!) The grand ballroom was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. Our guests are still raving (a month later) about how great the food was and how much fun they had! I would recommend this venue to any and all brides looking for a 5 star experience!

with the experience we had with the Double Tree. We highly recommend this place to others!

n named Marsha. The day before my wedding, I get several phone calls from my guests that their rooms smell like smoke. I was surprised, considering this hotel claims to be smoke-free. It turns out, my room block was in an area that used to be a smoking section. I called to voice my dissatisfaction and ended up on the phone with Marsha. She was extremely rude and argumentative, even claiming that some people "aren't so sensitive" to the smoke smell. I also later learned that the hotel staff was refusing to give out the gift bags I made up to my hotel block, claiming I only wanted one gift bag per room, instead of one per guest. These were certainly not the type of issues I expected to deal with the day before my wedding. Save yourself the head ache and book your wedding block somewhere else!

price. I pretty much had to do everything my self if you want to do outside wedding you have to decorate and if you want stuff from ceiling inside you have to hang it and they provide no tools so you gotta bring your own. It got closer to wedding found out they got a new chef who turned out to be so perfect he made everything great!! So food was great. Then I ended up finding out previous lady got fired and new one came who didn't know anything I had to go over step 1 thru all over again. She said they have votives and mirrors we can use and table number stands day wedding came she didn't give us one thing, told.me if guest don't come they would give me upgrades for the money I spent and didn't told me well to late now so they kept over 1500 of money I could of used. She didn't decorate cake table as I wanted. I had all inclusive which I was suppose to get private cocktail hour w bridal party had only 5 mins there I needed to get busstled and she came up and rushed me and huffed the whole time like excuse me this is my wedding. Food came out they didn't even give us long enough to eat if u went to bathroom and came back your food was gone. I had an open bar and the lady didn't have anything. Paid for wine didn't see any wine my husband was talking go a far away relative they took his cake away he didn't even get to taste it. So much stuff went wrong it was not worth the 13 grand at all I recommend look elsewhere unless you want a headache and panic attacks. Didn't even get to utilize my room check out was 11am and we got to room at 1am had to go to bed because you had to gather all y9ur stuff up take all the decorations that you had outside down and be out the door at 11am. I have so much more that went wrong but just don't waste your money trust me.

reception there. I really enjoyed Chelsea the wedding coordinator that we ended up with. She was calm and keep things running smoothly. She was also attentive to the weather and we decided to make a last minute change to move the ceremony inside due to rain. She was very responsive and made me feel at ease with the change of plans. The venue was beautiful and I really enjoyed the bridal suite that was available to get ready in. I loved the fact that drinks, appetizers, linens, the cake, and flowers were all included in the price. I was a lot less coordination for me to handle. The food was delicious. The only thing I really didn't like was the food service. One of my guest asked a server if there were any nuts in one of the appetizers since her son had a tree nut allergy. The server said no and the son ate two pieces and later had to be rushed to the ER. I also requested that the third option be vegan and gluten free. My mother has celiac disease and cannot eat gluten. The food came out and my mother noticed that there was Orzo her food (which contains gluten). I asked one of the servers if they could serve my mother something gluten free. The server argued with me and told me that there was no gluten in the food. Eventually they did get my mother a new meal without gluten. I was just a little upset that the wait staff did not seem to consider the customer always right especially since it was my wedding day. The wait staff needs to be more careful about serving people with food allergies.

py. Throughout the planning there were some issues with change in personnel, but Danielle Gillespie, whom we originally booked everything with, made sure we were happy with everything. I would recommend this venue to anyone, for any kind of event. The staff was very professional and their top priority was the bride and groom.

brother-in-law both had to track her down to correct the many errors the wait staff had during our dinner. As if things couldn't get much worse, she even had my name incorrect on the sign leading into our reception room (she gave me a completely WRONG last name!). My husband and I received excuse after excuse as to why our event sheet was not followed (the old lie of "miscommunication"). I could go on and on about the eight things that they did not do properly--trust me, I remember each one as I had to fight with them while on our honeymoon! Their "miscommunication" cost them over $600 as we fought to be reimbursed for their incompetence. They will lure you in with their package deal--stay away!
