Fairmont Pittsburgh

t of the wedding - how to hold onto the chair during the hora so I didn't fall off! Highly recommend them for a venue!

d is out of this world, as was the wedding cake, and the color scheme is neutral and inviting that everything goes. My finance, parents and I looked at a group of hotel venues and nothing compared to the Fairmont. Nothing came close at all. The décor is perfect and subtle, the room size is perfect and no ridiculous poles anywhere to block anyone view. They are very flexible with arranging the room - different sized tables if one table has 6 and one has 10. The food was incredible, our cake was gorgeous and was one of the best cakes I have ever had at a wedding. The set up for the cocktail our was perfect, as was the room for the reception. The staff is incredible. I hear of horror stories of brides being stressed out and I had zero stress. Natalie and her team took care of everything so I didn't have to worry about anything. They were attentive and quick to respond. Even the rest of the staff, from the doormen to the staff at the front desk, called us by name, did everything they could to make sure we had the perfect day, and we did. The next day the service was just as amazing as the day before. We would do it all again exactly the same way and we are so very happy that we selected the Fairmont for our reception. Best experience and that's exactly what you want for your wedding day - those memories and photos will last a lifetime! Thank you to Natalie and the entire staff at the Fairmont.

friends and family this wedding season! My husband and I first found this venue and not only did we love the location, but we loved everything the Fairmont had to offer. We went with their winter wedding package and got married on New Years Eve 2018. From the champagne toast at midnight and popping confetti we couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue. The weekend of our wedding the hotel staff went ABOVE AND BEYOND not only to myself and my husband but all of our guests staying in the hotel. From the moment we arrived at the Fairmont to the very second we left EVERYONE at the hotel was accommodating beyond words. Maria was outstanding and took the time to decorate our wedding cake plates specifically for us. She decorated the room we had breakfast in for our guests the next morning. (Which looked fantastic) Natalie Weiss our wedding coordinator was exceptional. Not only was she on top of everything but extremely responsive if you had any questions or changes. She gave us her personal cell to contact her anytime the week before the wedding. Working with Natalie put our minds at ease and gave us the feeling everything was under control (which it was)...and to not freak out the day before LOL They were under construction adding a new restaurant and bar to the Fairmont right before the wedding. The Bar is super cool and makes for GREAT groomsmen pictures. The day after the wedding my husband and I were pleasantly surprised when we went back to our room before check out to find customized robes as a gift from the Fairmont with our names and wedding date on them. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. If the Fairmont is available for your date...don't blink and eye....BOOK IT! I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. We will definitely be returning. - The Pappans

n every way possible. We needed a last minute delivery for the tuxedos delivered to the hotel, and they were 100% on top of it for us. In terms of the ballroom, it was everything we had hoped for and all of our guests were very impressed. The food was delicious, all of our guests still rave about how good it was, and the service for dinner was very efficient, making the whole flow of the reception that much better. The rest of the hotel was just as impressive, with excellent facilities and rooms; the bridal suite was lavish with amazing views of the city. The groomsmen all loved having the gym/sauna/steam room to use the morning of the wedding before getting ready. We really cannot say enough good things, and have already recommended to many friends and colleagues to consider having their wedding reception at The Fairmont Hotel.

d with how smoothly everything went at the Fairmont. We had a tasting several months back, and the chef and pastry chef were on hand to accommodate any special requests and answer all of our questions about the food selections, meal and bar service. The appetizers and entrees on the day of the wedding were absolutely delicious and we received SO MANY COMPLIMENTS about the absolutely perfect food and food service. And the CAKE! If you are considering hiring out for cake, DON'T DO IT. The cake was fabulous and looked EXACTLY as we envisioned. Their chef, pastry chef, banquet service managers and banquet staff are incredibly professional, organized and exceptional at what they do. The timing of the cocktail reception and salad/entree/cake service was impeccable. Beyond the event staff, the hotel staff (reception, bell hops, etc) treated us like royalty - as if our family and friends were the hotel's guests of honor. We - and our guests - were so impressed by the Fairmont staff's service and professionalism. We worked with the Fairmont's event coordinator, Natalie W., for the majority of the planning and she was SPECTACULAR. (Madeline, the former event coordinate for the hotel, was amazing and we were disappointed when she told us she was moving on, but we were so incredibly pleased with Natalie that the disappointment stung for, oh, 2 minutes.) My husband and I had ideas for a few of the things we wanted for the wedding (i.e. Pittsburgh pierogies and Cincinnati Skyline chili coney dogs for a late night snack for our guests) and Natalie executed every detail better than we could imagine. She also worked with us to identify and work out details we hadn't thought of. She was prompt, flexible, always available for a quick meeting, and kept this type A bride calm and confident about every last detail. She even personally steam ironed a crease out of my wedding gown a few hours before the ceremony. She was truly a dream to work with. We looked at several other venues in town to host our reception and are SO glad we chose the Fairmont. The Fairmont is worth every last penny and they just over-delivered at every turn (besides, many of the other downtown venues are comparable in price anyway and I can almost guarantee you won't get the same attention to detail you'll get at the Fairmont). You will not be disappointed!

sband and I were happy. We started working with Madeline, and finished out the planning process with Natalie. The transition was smooth and stress free. From the amazing venue, to the delicious food (everyone was OBSESSED with their dinners) , to the absolutely breathtaking cake, the Fairmont was by far the BEST venue and choice we made for our day. I would like to add that we had a "fusion" wedding, as my family is Indian, and we had quite a few out of the ordinary requests, and Natalie made every single one of them attainable.

de for my daughter. Our wedding coordinator, Natalie Weiss was amazing. She took care of every single detail to ensure our day was perfect. The venue was absolutely beautiful, the food was AMAZING and the staff was TRULY incredible. We are still talking about how magical this event was and how grateful we are to The Fairmont Pittsburgh for making this day absolutely perfect. I am confident my daughter, the groom, the parents of the groom and all 325 of our guests enjoyed the most magical wedding day ever! Thank you Fairmont Pittsburgh for exceeding our expectations in every single category. You all delivered!!! Your people made the difference!! We will never forget this past weekend and are thankful we chose YOU to host this very special day that will live in our hearts forever! THANK YOU!

erfect, my guests had a great time! I wanted to be married at a place that not only had a beautiful ballroom, but also had amazing food, which the Fairmont does! I wouldn't change a thing!

we desperately called any and all venues that might have our popular wedding date available. Enter the amazing team at the Fairmont! By a stroke of pure luck (or some serious accrued good karma), this fabulous team was available and met our every need! The hotel itself is beautiful, offering amazing picture opportunities in a light, airy and modern setting smack dab in downtown Pgh (which is great for guests). Then, there's the team - which could not have been more accommodating. They worked with our budget to get us everything we wanted and MORE, made themselves available for last minute meetings (I live out of town and could only be in Pgh certain days), helped find vendors, coordinated the entire day, and made sure the night went seemlessly. The Fairmont knows how to provide top notch service for an upscale event, and how to make a bride happy :) From the bellman and the front desk staff, to those in food services and wedding/event coordination - thank you for saving our wedding!

asons why. My then-fiancee and I had a few fairly inflexible parameters when searching for a wedding venue: 1) Somewhere in Pittsburgh proper, as we had a large number of guests traveling from out of the country and wanted both a convenient hotel and reception location that were one in the same 2) A venue that could hold 250+ guests 3) Someplace that would let us party 'till late, like 2 a.m. or later (that's how we do). 4) Something classy, and upscale If any of the above resonate with you, look no further than the Fairmont Hotel. In doing so you will be starting a relationship with a Madeline Kelly, the hotel's young and pleasant event manager. I should mention that my wife and I are both medical professionals and are transitively somewhat neurotic when it comes to scheduling/planning. That said, we could not have been happier with how Madeline planned our wedding with us from the very start. She was responsive to our hectic hospital schedules and bent to our random availabilities. For an October wedding, she held sit-down meetings with us as early as March (upon our request) to comb through details of the wedding. We had about 4 such in-person meetings throughout the planning phase, each was productive and pain-free. In between these meetings she was responsive with both email and phone whenever we needed to reach out and make adjustments. She even met with my mother-in-law to discuss things when we were too busy to meet in person. As pleased as we were during the planning phase, it was really the day of the wedding when the Fairmont stood out. I cannot keep count of how many visiting (out-of-country) guests approached us and our family after the wedding about how impressed they were with the hotel experience during their stay. The service is simply on point, from Madeline and her staff to the front desk receptionist to the bartenders to the servers at dinner. Madeline was there from start to finish on the wedding day, overseeing everything silently, ensuring all was going smoothly. Our celebrations went till ~2am, and outstanding service was noted until the last minute. The attention to detail here is truly something impressive. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the food as a huge strength at this venue. It was far, far above par for a wedding, on par offerings from Pittsburgh's premiere stand-alone restaurants. Also, as part of the deal with the Fairmont package, you get a wedding cake made to your liking. I mean truly to your liking - send a picture of your fantasy cake to the pastry chef and he will make it for you. Biggest regret of my wedding day? Not eating more cake. Sweet Lord--this cake was perfect. Delectably tops. Best cake I've tasted, ever. If you have a number of guests traveling for your wedding, the Fairmont could not be more perfectly nestled in the heart of downtown. We wanted to pick a place that would allow our guests to really taste Pittsburgh and to do so with class--the Fairmont was a slam-dunk in that regard. All in all, we can't imagine our wedding being anywhere else. The Fairmont and all the people who helped make our wedding possible have become a part of our wedding memory in a very warm way. TL,DR: would marry there again, if only for the cake.

feel easto fit everyone comfortably and feel special on that day. The service and food were spectacular. We were provided with so many different options and creative choices for food and appetizers. The location of the Fairmont cannot be beat. Market square and the surrounding areas provided lots of options for out of town guests. The bridal suite was nothing less than fantastic as well. I highly recommend anyone who would want to have a fabulous downtown Pittsburgh wedding to consider the Fairmont hotel and working with Madeline Kelly and her team!

impressed by the professionalism and their attention to detail. From the planning stage through the reception we were never disappointed. They worked with us to transform the room into the romantic feel that we hoped to portray. In the final weeks leading up to the wedding Madeline's suggestions were spot on. During the cocktail hour the butler passed hors deserves were delicious and the bartenders were attentive. The food was plated as artfully as it was shown at our tasting, which is not an easy undertaking when you have three hundred guests. We had several guests comment that the dinner and service were the best that they had ever had at a wedding. Our confidence in Madeline and her staff made it easy for us to relax and thoroughly enjoy the evening.

m the bellmen, to the valets, to the front desk staff, are so incredibly attentive and professional. We had quite a few out of town guests and all of them raved about the accommodations. We've also been told several times that it was the best wedding food our guests have ever had, specifically the desserts. We decided to forgo a traditional wedding cake and did a platter of mini desserts including creme brulee and smores on a stick and people are still raving about them almost a month later. And honestly, its not that expensive for what you are getting comparatively. I had a friend get married the weekend before me at a more DIY venue and she said she spent the entire week of stressing out, whereas I just gave Madeline anything we wanted set up or displayed, along with my vendor contact info and she and her staff took over from there. They were very accommodating to any special requests we had. The open bar is the most expansive selections I or my guests have ever seen. If I could do it again I would 100% choose Madeline and her team at the Fairmont Pittsburgh every time!

food and cake were delicious! The ballroom looked amazing, they were even able to accommodate a balloon drop for a New Years Eve Wedding. We loved our wedding and if anyone is looking for a great venue in Pittsburgh, the Fairmont should be at the top of the list!

ge, clean and modern. Then we walked into the ballroom which was impressive, even though it was set up for a conference. Madeline was a great resource from a planning perspective. She was always available for the hundreds of questions we had during the planning process. She was professional, organized and put my husband and I at ease when we were completely overwhelmed! As our wedding day approached, Madeline was great in working and coordinating with outside vendors. On the day of our wedding, I had no worries. I had complete confidence in Madeline and the staff at the Fairmont that every last little detail would be perfect, and it was! The food was phenomenal, the staff was attentive but at the same time invisible. The ballroom was absolutely beautiful. The many years of dreaming of my wedding all came true at the Fairmont.

od was delicious and all of the hotel staff (everyone from the bellmen/concierge to the servers were great). If you're lucky enough to work with Madeline Kelly, the hotel's catering and event manager, your wedding will be one you never forget. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

started off our stay with warm greetings and amazing customer service. All of our guests and vendors had great things to say about them. Then our big day came, Madeline was there to help with everything, she was so easy to work with, laid back and nice. From the first time I contacted her, we both felt comfortable with her and how accommodating she was. Beth Zysk stayed until the end of our wedding and made sure we were taken care of, she had all of our stuff moved to our suite and her and her staff stayed late to ensure we had the best time of our lives. We did! Our guests loved the food and the beauty of the hotel as well as the amazing staff. We couldn't recommend the Fairmont more.

of making sure everything went the way we wanted it to go. She also recommended our DJ who everyone loved.

ur wedding there on 07/30 and it was simply incredible!! We planned our wedding in less than 6 months and it was only possible because of how awesome Fairmont is. Madeline is such a pleasure to work with! The food and the cake are amazing!! We got so many compliments! I highly recommend Fairmont to everyone because they truly gave me the wedding of my dreams.

Fairmont Pittsburgh. I was greeted as the Bride as I walked through the lobby, anything I needed they brought to my room in minutes, and the staff was the best to my guests the whole weekend! I can not rave enough about how special they made me and all of my guests feel! On top of it all, the ballroom can be transformed into anything a bride could dream! There are no limits when it comes to the Fairmont. My guests have not stopped raving about the food, the service, and how spectacular every aspect was! I recommend Farimont Pittsburgh to any bride hands down!!

day was everything we hoped for. She went above and beyond - helping us to coordinate suites, vendors, and day-of planning. On the wedding weekend - from the moment we checked in, everyone was wonderful. Bryan and Ron met us at the door and helped us carry in multiple car-loads (wedding dress, luggage, decor, etc) with ease and enthusiasm. Emily and everyone else at the desk made us feel more than welcome and truly catered to everything we could ever need! When it rained, immediately following our ceremony (which was held outdoors and nearby the hotel), The Fairmont brought us umbrellas and asked whether we'd like a Cadillac to come and pick up the bridal party. Our rooms were immaculate and just as we had planned. Many of our guests sought us out to compliment The Fairmont staff on a number of things...accommodating special room arrangements, excellent service upon arriving, special requests were all met with pleasure, etc. - the entire staff was just WONDERFUL. I truly cannot thank The Fairmont enough for taking such wonderful care of our guests; everyone had an amazing time and was truly wowed by the level of service they received. It was very important to us that our guests had a great time at our wedding and The Fairmont staff made sure that was the case. I have never had a hotel go so far out of their way to ensure that everyone was truly satisfied. THANK YOU to everyone at The Fairmont - you made our wedding an incredible weekend to remember!

e with the idea of hosting our reception at the Fairmont. Madeline is a kind, professional individual who responded promptly to all of our questions and concerns. We were offered a very reasonable price per person which included hors d' oeuvres, a three-course dinner, our wedding cake, and an open bar. Two things that drew us to this location were that Madeline was willing to act as much or as little as a wedding coordinator as we would have liked at no extra cost, and our per person price covered all place settings, linens, set up, etc. which are normally charged separately by other venues in downtown Pittsburgh. At the end of the day, Madeline was an integral part of why our wedding reception was as wonderful as it was. She's an amazing human being and we are so lucky that we got to work with her! My husband and I, along with our families, dropped off decorations that we wanted to use for the reception and left it to Madeline to make it all look great. We really trusted Madeline to do her job well and she went above and beyond to deliver. We only gave general ideas for what we wanted with the space, and the entire Fairmont staff brought the room together for us. The food for dinner was prepared on the same floor, right next to the ballroom and was served promptly and professionally by the staff. Everyone was extremely polite and our guests loved their meals. Even the most picky and/or opinionated of guests made a point to compliment the food. In addition, our wedding cake was beautiful. The renowned pastry chef used our inspirational photos and made them a reality. There were no limits with what we could have done with the cake. We couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome, and the cake was delicious. We cannot wait to celebrate our one-year anniversary by eating the top tier! One last thing that should not go unnoticed is that we were able to extend our wedding reception for an extra half hour. While the reception time was nearing its end, my husband and I felt like it wasn't time to say goodbye. At the last minute, we asked if we could extend our open bar and the Fairmont was willing to accommodate our request. We appreciated their accommodation and for asking their team to stay with us. I could go on and on complimenting Madeline and the entire Fairmont staff, but bottom line-- choose this venue and you will not be disappointed! This location is the most luxurious hotel in downtown Pittsburgh and very little was needed to create the reception experience that we'd hoped for. We were a couple that wanted a modern space that spoke for itself and with the Fairmont Pittsburgh that is exactly what we got. The entire Fairmont team made our wedding planning experience completely enjoyable and we were sad for it to end. We had a wonderful time working with them and would recommend this hotel time and again. The art, layout, and immediate vicinity to Market Square created a welcoming environment for all of our guests and at the end of the experience, there is not one criticism that we can give. Thank you Madeline, Natalie, and the entire Fairmont staff! Our wedding would not have been the same without all of you!

to make. She kept us on schedule with vendors and payment schedules. The results were everything our daughter planned and i hoped for, but couldn't envision. The reception hall was beautiful and correctly coordinated with every detail. Even when I lost or forgot the name and table designation for one of our guest couples, wait staff made accommodations at the table I remembered they were to be located. There were no requests that weren't honored. Our daughter was the happiest I have ever seen her. The food is the best quality and presentation I have seen. There was plenty of time to enjoy each course as well. The hotel and wait staff were kind at every moment and never seemed rushed or bothered. Madeline has a wealth of advice and resource that I'm sure is tough to find elsewhere. The Fairmont was not the only location we looked at, and I am so glad it is the one our daughter chose

for us on our wedding day and throughout our wedding journey. We have received numerous comments regarding how beautiful our wedding was at the Fairmont and how nice all of the Fairmont staff were with all of our guests throughout the entire weekend. The food was fabulous, the drinks flowed, and our reception was said to be the best ever! We absolutely loved our wedding cake, and that was very important to us! Our guests loved our reception song, "Say A Little Prayer" and took notice of the waitstaff participating in the chorus. What a memory both we and our guests will never forget! We never had to ask for anything at the reception. We were waited on hand and foot by the waitstaff all night long and into the wee hours of the morning. We were so spoiled by everyone at the Fairmont that it made it difficult to transition back into commoners in our daily lives! What a surprise when we finally made it back to our lovely wedding suite and found chocolate dipped strawberries, champagne, and our personalized robes! Again, memories we will cherish a lifetime. Madeline Kelly and the Fairmont, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you have done to build us a memory of a lifetime. We will always hold both you and the Fairmont close in our hearts for giving us the absolute best day in our lives.

guests to explore the city, the ballroom is sort of a blank canvas that can be transformed into whatever style you want, the lobby is gorgeous, and Madeline inspired confidence from the start. To add to that from the post-wedding perspective, the food was definitely better than typical wedding food, they were able to offer just about any beer we wanted to have for our bar, the cake was AMAZING (do NOT source your cake from elsewhere. This was the best part of the meal), the house wines and champagne were all great, and the servers were top notch. At one point my husband and I tried to stop to get water from the bar but got pulled back onto the dance floor. The bartender came and found us to give us water. At another point a server walked by when we were with a big group of friends and offered to take a picture. Little things like that happened throughout the night. It was also great from a pre- and post-reception standpoint. The guys got ready in the bridal suite and everything was seamless- it was perfectly cleaned and ready for when he and I arrived post-reception. We got some really nice personal touches in the suite afterwards, like a card, champagne, strawberries, and personalized bathrobes to take home. I regret not being able to spend another night in that room- it was so nice! We chose to do our honeymoon through their platinum honeymoon program, where you get some % of your wedding spend to use at your honeymoon hotel (any other Fairmont). That was definitely a bonus, although getting the gift card situated with the honeymoon location was a little confusing. That being said, the second we said we were having issues, the Pittsburgh team was all over it to help. Really nothing but good things to say.

n the day of the wedding but every visit up until that point. Although my husband and I live in Pittsburgh most of our family and friends are from out of town so many were staying at the hotel, and the staff made everyone's stay the best it could be. From the second I walked in on the Wednesday before my wedding I was treated like a true bride, even the staff that helped me unload my car (which was a heavy job) immediately greeted me with "Oh the bride is here!", they would ask me every day if I was feeling stressed or needed anything. I can not say enough about how everyone on the staff went the extra mile to make sure not only me but my family and friends as well, were made to feel so special all week! The planning process went so smoothly with the help of Madeline Kelly. As my dad kept saying "this is turn key", it was so easy and everything was basically set up for us. We had 18 months to plan, which was ample time, but I could totally see planning it at the Fairmont in much less time. Madeline is so easy to work with and keeps things stress free. She understands every detail and knows how to execute. She was able to help me identify things I had overlooked, which was sooo helpful. I would not have asked for a better person to work with while planning my wedding (both reception and ceremony). The day of our wedding was amazing. I never had to think for one second that I was missing something or something was going to go wrong. Madeline made sure all of my venders had access to everything they needed and were set up appropriately. I do not think I got one phone call regarding issues with venders the whole weekend (which was the best thing ever). The staff on the day of our wedding was outstanding. Everyone was so friendly, and went out of their way to make the day so amazing and a day/night to remember. One of the most impressive parts of the night was the dinner service. We decided on a platted dinner with two options. We made our own menu cards which looking back was one of the best things I did. Each of the staff went around to the tables and asked if the guests were happy with their meal choice and ensured that it was exactly what they had asked for. The staff that worked at the head table was outstanding, they fulfilled every request and went above and beyond anything we asked. Lastly but most important to my husband and I is that the hotel is dog friendly. We wanted our dog to be involved in our pictures because he is important to us. Without even having to ask the Fairmont catered to that, which we loved. I think Remy (our dog) had just as good of a time as my husband and I did. Overall, we could not have made a better decision by choosing the Fairmont Pittsburgh for both our ceremony and reception. Madeline Kelly is truly awesome at her job; her and the staff will go above and beyond to meet and exceed every expectation you have for you wedding. We (and Remy) totally recommend booking our event at the Fairmont Pittsburgh!

guests were served almost all at the same time, meaning no one waited for dinner, and an empty dish never lingered long on a table. Throughout our planning process, the staff members were always organized, friendly, and responsive. The staff is top-notch-- we couldn't be more impressed, and neither could our families and friends. Oh, and the food was out-of-this-world! The ballroom itself is fresh and modern, and with the in-house AV team, we were able to easily coordinate a lighting scheme for the space. We also appreciated that the hotel is dog friendly (so our Dog-of-Honor could attend!) and that the accommodations had beautiful views of the city for our out-of-town guests. My husband and I also loved the location-- since the hotel is situated in the middle of downtown, we were able to sneak outside for city pictures with our photographer without missing much of the action on the dance floor. When we returned to our suite after the reception, embroidered robes, chocolates, and champagne awaited us-- what a special touch! For any bride looking for a modern aesthetic, exceptional service, and the glamour of a downtown wedding, I highly recommend the Fairmont. They made me a very happy Mrs.

iful and memorable proposal), but never thought we would be able to afford such a beautiful and upscale venue for our wedding reception. However, we decided to chat with them anyway, and found that they could work with our budget if we were willing to be flexible with dates. Booking with the Fairmont was the best decision we could have made, as we never felt our reception could be anything less than perfect with their team on the case. This made out-of-town wedding planning from DC a breeze. Many of our guests went out of their way to let us know how wonderful the food and service was. I can't imagine how any venue could compare to the costumer service for which the Fairmont is famous. Antoinette went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us and that our guests were comfortable and happy. We will always look back on our wedding as one of the best days of our lives and the fairmont played a large role in making that possible. We are now even bigger fans of the Fairmont and already have a Seattle fairmont valentine's day trip planned!

ave hoped for. My husband and I are truly Fairmont loyal from now on! The ballroom is gorgeous and they will customize it to make it perfect for your big day!

best experience at the Fairmont.

for my event. Not only is the hotel a GORGEOUS place to hold any event(hello gorgeous photo opportunities!), but the food was UNBELIEVABLE(I had countless guests tell me it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding). They also do the wedding cake on-site which was such a weight off of my shoulders; they told my husband and I to bring them any design we wanted and they would make it! Our cake turned out to be EXACTLY what we wanted and it was delicious! Best of all, on the day of our wedding, I didn't have a single worry and if I ever needed anything, the amazing staff was willing to help within a second. My husband & and I couldn't have been happier with our decision to hold our reception at the Fairmont!

oney is definitely worth it. All of our guests raved about our selected cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres (crab cakes were the favorite) and dinner (both filet and chicken). Service was impeccable. Communication - via email, telephone, and in person - with catering sales manager (Meaghan Tiberio) was extremely easy, prompt, and efficient. The venue is easy to work with to accommodate various payment schedules. Venue is great for wedding photos (block and half from Clemente bridge, right next to market sq, has beautiful staircase). There were no issues coordinating any wedding tradition (dollar dance, cookie table, etc). This venue requires minimal decoration because it already so beautiful! We did not have to worry about anything pertaining to the reception on the day of our wedding - both Meaghan and personal waitstaff were constantly on hand. Such a great experience!!!

Pittsburgh restaurants like Primanti's and Mancini's Bakery next store. Though I was initially in love with the style of the hotel (sleek and modern), I was mainly sold after meeting with Meaghan Tiberio, the sales/catering manager that doubled as our day-of coordinator, too! She handled every last detail for us, including contacting all of our outside vendors and setting up all of the details I put into our big day. Though I work in events and was a more organized bride than most, I honestly felt little stress at ALL the days leading up to my wedding and the big day itself. Meaghan handled everything with ease and it was worth every penny. The accommodations there are top of the line, and the honeymoon suite my husband and I got to enjoy the night and next day after our wedding was honestly exquisite. The service at the Fairmont is unlike any other hotel we've ever stayed, and for that we will forever be Fairmont Hotel fans! In fact, we decided to make Hamburg a must for our honeymoon in Germany next spring because there is a Fairmont there as well! The food is delicious, too - in fact, we were able to make up our own menu (I based it off of my Nana's home cooking) to really fit our personalities and taste. If your budget cannot make this space work, I totally understand - however, if you can make it work, it is worth it all.

s so pleased with everything. My guests raved about the food and the service. I highly recommend the hotel for your special day!
