Fairmont Pittsburgh

We got married at the Fairmont this spring and it was absolute perfection. We had our ceremony, reception and after party there. Joanna (event coordinator) is awesome and made the entire process so easy. She is super responsive and accommodating. The entire staff the day of the wedding was stellar as well. Would get married there again if I could! Lol. Highly recommend!

If you’re looking for the perfect all in one venue for your wedding then stop and book the Fairmont. Not only is the venue gorgeous but they treat their brides and grooms and their families like royalty. The wedding coordinator, Joanna, is a real life fairy godmother who will do ANYTHING to make sure your day is perfect and rolls with the punches better than anyone I have ever seen. The catering staff will provide any and all dietary needs and changes. The accommodations are excellent as well. I am genuinely sad my wedding is over because the whole experience was so wonderful. I’m so thankful that’s where we ended up and know you will be too!

If you want your wedding dreams to come true, then look no further than Joanna Bazzano and team at the Fairmont Pittsburgh. From the very first meeting and venue preview to the very last minute of our wedding we were treated like absolute royalty! The level of support, attention to detail and quality of service is NEXT level. The venue truly does speak for itself, but Joanna and team are there to help create a remarkable experience for you and your guests. Three months later and our friends and family are still complimenting everything! The Fairmont Pittsburgh is the epitome of one-of-a-kind wedding experiences!

I cannot recommend the Fairmont enough! When we toured the venue, we immediately made the decision this is where we are getting married, and we are so happy we did. We were able to have everything on site. We held our welcome party at Fl. 2, ceremony, reception, and our Sunday farewell brunch at the Fairmont. Joanna, Senior Wedding Catering Sales Manager, went above and beyond in her role, and was an instrumental part of our vendor team. She was timely in her responses for any questions we had. Her professionalism and ability to work with all of the other vendors was incredible. We cannot thank her enough for everything she did to make our wedding weekend even better than we could imagine. The entire Fairmont team was exceptional and were there to help with anything us and our guests needed. From the moment we checked in, we felt at ease. Brian, the bellman, was so kind and helped us throughout our entire wedding weekend. He was professional, timely and precise. He made sure all of our things were in the right place, at the right time, and did it all with a smile on his face! The wedding food was hands down the BEST I have ever had. The taste and presentation were unmatched. Also, they catered to our guests’ dietary restrictions with ease and professionalism. The waitering staff confirmed multiple times with the guests to make sure the dietary restrictions were correct. This was not your traditional banquet food and service you think of; it was dining at a 5-star restaurant. With our wedding package, it came with a cake. The pastry chef is top notch! The cake was so beautiful, definitely a show stopper! Not only did it look amazing, but it tasted amazing as well. It is hard to get a beautiful cake, with the delicious cake, but the pastry chef at the Fairmont did just that! If you are from Pittsburgh, you know how important the Pittsburgh Cookie Table is. The Fairmont set it up to perfection and made sure it was refilled consistently. I cannot thank the entire staff of the Fairmont enough for their professionalism and assistance. Stop your search and book the Fairmont!

We had our wedding reception at the Fairmont in September 2023, and it turned out beautifully. We chose this venue for its size and convenience since they include a lot of elements within their package (food, drinks, cake, chairs and tables, basic linens). The room was lovely, the food was delicious, and everything came together well. It was great having Joanna as a contact. Throughout the planning process their were many ups and downs but at the end of the day, it all came together and the day was picture perfect. Our first tasting was not great as they had an interim chef, and most of the food was cold. They made it up for it by offering us to come back for a second tasting, and they had their new wonderful chef (Tyler) who was absolutely a pleasure -- all the food was hot/incredibly delicious. If getting a room block, we would recommend you reserve more rooms than you think you would need. We definitely did not err on that side and had to reserve additional rooms at a significant upcharge (due to Steeler’s home opener).

We had our room block at the Fairmont, we got ready there, and we had our after party at Fl.2. I can not speak of Joanna highly enough. She is professional, kind, and genuine. There is nothing that she won't do for you. She made us feel like A-list celebrities. Joanna has an air about her that makes you feel like you've been friends forever. She greets you with a hug, she's so excited for you and your day - and she really cares about your experience - your memories made. She put all of us at ease every step of the way. And she is just the tip of the iceberg. The entire staff at The Fairmont have the customer service standards of those at a Michelin-star restaurant. They are precise. They are diligent. They have a keen eye for every little detail. And most of all, they're warm and friendly and just really happy to have you there. I have to take a moment to call out Brian, at the Fairmont. I believe he is on their concierge team? He did everything from unload our cars and bring everything to our rooms - but he was there for literally any.thing. we needed. Anything. He gave me his cellphone number to message him if I needed something. I made the mistake of texting him on his dinner break (I didn't know) and he left his break to help me. And it wasn't just me (the bride) who he treated that way. He was like that for the groom, his brother, my father, my mother in law, our aunts and uncles. He must have been running around that hotel every single minute of the day. And - he did it with a smile on his face. A genuine smile. All this to say, in whatever capacity you're thinking of having the Fairmont be a part of your day, I say do it. You will not regret having this exceptional team of people serve you. They are the epitome of customer service and professionalism.

Our experience with The Fairmont Pittsburgh was nothing short of a fairytale. Joanna & Team made our wedding weekend experience seamless! As a type-A personality, planning a wedding was nothing short of insanity & stress inducing for me, but having Joanna guide my husband and I on our choices put me at total ease & comfort! We met with Joanna a handful of times, & she'd always be available to me to answer questions (even if it was via text at 11 pm LOL). As a day-of coordinator, you really couldn't ask for someone more responsive & organized! The entire staff was more than accommodating & we felt our needs were more than met. This place would be gorgeous without the staff, that's a given, but the PEOPLE here made our wedding weekend as perfect as it was. A total class act. Would recommend 10000/10.

Our daughters’s ceremony and wedding at the Fairmont Pittsburgh were both stunning! Joanna and her staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect! Brian was amazing with our guests in the lobby as they arrived. The food and service was excellent. The cake and cookie table were beautiful! Lovely venue!! We highly recommend the Fairmont and the amazing team that made this the wedding weekend perfect!

I can't even begin to explain how thankful I am that I made the choice to get married at the Fairmont. We looked at a ton of venues and without a doubt when we walked into the Fairmont and met Joanna, she made our decision 10x easier. From the beginning Joanna was always willing to answer questions quickly and help me make decisions for the big day. She not only put me at ease with how organized she was but both of our families. I also want to mention the ABOVE & BEYOND service we received from all of the staff at the Fairmont. They were accommodating, friendly, and extremely helpful. We absolutely loved them. The day went unbelievably smooth, and it was absolutely gorgeous. The renovations made this place so much more of a hot commodity. I would 100% suggest getting married at the Fairmont.

There are not enough words to express how beyond perfect everything was at the Fairmont Hotel! It was truly everything we dreamed it would be and MORE! My husband and I looked at close to 15 venues. When we walked into the Fairmont and met Joanna, we knew this was the perfect place for us! Joanna, the wedding coordinator, immediately made us feel at home and we connected with her right away. She went above and beyond for us throughout the entire process. She was beyond kind, friendly, caring, and was for us throughout every step! I am so beyond grateful for Joanna as she truly took the best care of us throughout. Anything we needed or anything we asked for, she made sure we had it! Joanna made the process so fun and enjoyable! We absolutely loved working with her. At our tasting, we were introduced to Rachael, the assistant wedding coordinator! Joanna & Rachael were the perfect team and did everything and more to make sure every detail was perfect in our space for our day! On our day, Rachael ensured that everything went beyond perfect! They made sure everything was the way I wanted it to be and I could not be any more thrilled about how the day went! Also, to our surprise the venue had a renovation just in time for our wedding! I fell even more in love with the space with the new updates! Everything about this venue was top-notch! From the incredible staff to the beautiful space, it has it ALL! The staff at the hotel took incredible care of not only my husband and I, but our families & guests! They were beyond kind and did anything we needed! One of our signs we brought had glue that smeared, one of the incredible staff members painted it for us himself so that it was perfect on the wedding day! To say that every member of the staff went above and beyond is an understatement! We were spoiled with care and love from the hotel staff and we are so grateful for all they did for us. The food was also INCREDIBLE and the chef did an incredible job with our meal presentation & our cake truly matching our vision! Our guests continuously complimented how first-class and beautiful our wedding was and that it was one of the best weddings they have been too! This truly is due to the wonderful staff at the Fairmont Hotel for making sure that our event was beautiful with incredible service throughout! I cannot recommend this venue and staff enough!

My husband and I started checking out venues for our November 2022 wedding last June, and had already mentally picked out another very popular location here in Pittsburgh until we met with Joanna Bazzano at the Fairmont. The Fairmont Pittsburgh is already a beautiful place to have your wedding, but it was Joanna that sealed the deal for us. She was incredible to work with! You can tell that she loves what she does and she is amazing with her clients. She's extremely professional, but also very fun and down to earth. Not that we asked for anything crazy or over the top, but any request that we made was met without hesitation and with a warm and positive attitude. She also worked really well with my wedding planners and our other vendors...everyone loved her! She helped me with anything that I needed and even helped me come up with a very meaningful signature cocktail named after our daughter for our wedding guests to enjoy. The whole wedding planning process with Joanna was a fantastic experience, and the actual wedding day itself was even better! The entire day was flawlessly executed and I can honestly say that I had the wedding of my dreams thanks to Joanna and her incredible staff at the gorgeous Fairmont Pittsburgh!

The Fairmont is by far the best place to host your wedding in Pittsburgh. Between its beautiful interior and above and beyond event coordinator, you cannot go wrong.

Fairmont Pittsburgh was the perfect venue for our wedding. I don't use the word 'perfect' lightly! Between my wedding planner & Fairmont Coordinator, Joanna, everything was a fairytale. One example that comes to mind is right before my ceremony, it was important to me that no guests saw my wedding dress prior to, and Joanna and her assistant and my MOH carried me through the kitchen and service elevators to make sure my request was fulfilled. That is one of many examples where they went over and above everything I could ever dream of. I wish I could re-live the whole day and evening over again with my husband at Fairmont but all I can do is say have your wedding at Fairmont!!

Lindsay O. Everyone at the Fairmont was top notch! From the valet, to the front desk ( who provided wedding guests with sore feet from dancing with SLIPPERS!!) to Joanna who ran the show!! The day couldn't have been more perfect! The food was amazing, the waitstaff was so friendly and accommodating!

The Fairmont team, led by Joanna, made our wedding spectacular. We worked with them to plan our day for more than two years and no detail was overlooked. Everyone was very professional and courteous. Choosing the Fairmont for our reception was the best decision!

Everyone at the Fairmont truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a beautiful wedding. All the guests raved about how good the food was and how accommodating the staff was every step of the way. Planning the wedding from states away, the Fairmont took so much of the stress of wedding planning away. Joanna specifically made sure everything was flawless during the entire wedding weekend. I can't thank her enough!

Choosing to do our wedding at the Pittsburgh Fairmont was the best wedding planning decision that we made!! Hosting at the Fairmont allowed us to eliminate multiple vendor decisions with the added benefit of day-of coordination. The venue, food, cake, dance floor, bridal suite, etc. are all best in class. Joanna and her events team are there every step of the way, including in the preparation, and they execute every wedding day detail with perfection. Not only that, the Fairmont staff (front desk, valet, bellmen, and others) went above and beyond to make sure that our guests had a top notch experience and stay. Elevate your wedding by hosting here - highly recommend!

The wedding coordinator Joanna was amazing! She helped us every step of the way, from answering all of our questions to being there for our special day. I did not have a single reservation leaving all of our decor with her the week of the wedding, I knew she understood our vision and it was perfectly executed! She was sweet and made us feel like we were always a priority! I couldn’t have asked for someone better to help us on the most important day of our lives. The venue itself, was stunning!! The beautiful staircase and lobby made for amazing photos! Myself, along with my bridesmaids, stayed in a suite the night before the wedding; it was perfect for brunch and getting ready! The food was great and everything went off without a single issue. I could not have been more impressed!!!

The Fairmont Pittsburgh was nothing short of incredible from start to finish, while planning my wedding! I got married on 10/9/21 with my reception held at the Fairmont Pittsburgh. From helpfulness, to preparedness, to attention to detail, the entire staff at the hotel was on top of it and it was amazing! The real MVP goes to Joanna Bazzano- I cannot say enough great things about her! She responded to emails quickly, always had the answers to my millions of questions and provided advice/suggestions when I needed some guidance. She has great connections around the city for various vendors, which were a huge help and took a lot of research leg work out of it for us! You could tell she knew what she was doing and was an absolute pro throughout the entire process! All the staff was so attentive and on top of everything, specifically Brian! He catered to our every want and need and was so nice to chat with! All in all, I cannot recommend Joanna and her staff at the Fairmont Pittsburgh enough- 5 star service and a gorgeous place to have your wedding! Our wedding day was absolute perfection and there were ZERO hiccups throughout the entire day!!

Everything at the Fairmont was incredible! Joanna was our saving grace! She had every detail perfect! Working with her was a joy! The actual day , she went above and beyond to make sure my daughter’s wedding day could not possibly have been better! We are all eternally grateful to her and the whole team who served that night! It was truly a fairy tale wedding come true!

Our wedding at the Fairmont was a DREAM COME TRUE!!! We chose this venue at the beginning not only because we loved the elegant feel and the space, but also largely because of Joanna, and how great she seemed! As soon as we met her, we knew she understood the vision of our wedding and was going to do everything she could to make our fairytale wedding come true, and that is exactly what she did! She was not only great and easy to work with, but an excellent communicator with both myself and my other vendors, ensuring my wedding day went as smoothly as possible. I was so at ease knowing the wedding was in her hands, and I knew everything would fall right in place. The food and atmosphere were amazing, and I had numerous guests come up to me and say it was the best wedding meal they have ever had! I can honestly say there was NOT ONE THING that I would change about my wedding day at the Fairmont; it was an absolute dream come true, and Joanna nailed every single detail. I could not have asked for a better venue, wedding coordinator, or overall wedding experience!!! JOANNA AND THE FAIRMONT ARE THE BEST when it comes to Pittsburgh Weddings!!

The Fairmont was amazing to work with from beginning to end. They were "on it'. Joanna was incredible. Her follow through was perfect. She and her team made you feel like they really appreciated the business and made the experience so much fun. Due to Covid our planning process was almost 2 years long and they never broke character. I loved working with all of them. I would highly recommend the Fairmont for your wedding! We also had approximately 150 guests stay at the Fairmont and everyone had wonderful things to say about the hotel as their accommodations. It was a perfect weekend and we owe it to the team at the Fairmont! Thank you all again for making our experience magical!

Our wedding at the Fairmont was classy and elegant with a touch of modern. The rooms have beautiful views of the city and the bridal suite was very spacious which allowed for a large bridal party, makeup artists and multiple hair stylists all to be together in one room getting ready. The Fairmont wedding planner Joanna Bazanno is amazing to work with. She is super responsive to any and all questions and did everything from the fist time we met through the entire wedding weekend to make sure our day went off without a hitch. The entire staff from the valet, bell hops to our wait staff during the wedding couldn't have been more kind, helpful and attentive. I highly recommend Fairmont Pgh as a wedding venue!

The Fairmont Pittsburgh is a beautiful place to have a wedding and is a very good location in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh. The wedding coordinator ( Joanna) was very easy to work with and is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and available. Food was excellent! Staff were very nice. Fairmont was willing to accommodate special requests of the band, hair stylist etc. Our guests thought the reception was perfect. We are very glad we chose the Fairmont for our son and daughter in laws wedding!

I don't even know where to begin to share how wonderful the Fairmont was for our wedding reception! Joanna helped us plan from the beginning and was so patient and accommodating through all of the challenges and changes we faced through Covid. Although the reception looked a lot different than we had originally planned, Joanna and her team truly made it feel like a normal wedding and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Jen was our day of coordinator and she was also fantastic making sure that everything was perfect and meeting any of our requests immediately. Everyone at the hotel was so accommodating from the bell hop, to valet, to front desk, to the restaurant and everyone in between. The servers and bartender were all excellent and so kind and professional. There wasn't one thing throughout the process or the day itself that I wish would have been different. You will never regret choosing the Fairmont for your wedding day!

Absolutely could not say enough about the Fairmont and our wedding coordinator, Joanna! Planning a wedding during COVID was a nightmare. We had planned at 2 other venues first and with the restrictions we couldn't fit everyone even in our VERY condensed guest list. In a moment of desperation, never thinking it would work out....5 weeks before our wedding date I emailed the Fairmont. They not only fit us in but helped us beyond belief! Joanna held my hand for 5 weeks straight and made every accommodation possible to make us feel comfortable. The whole event was more beautiful than I could have ever anticipated. The level of service was flawless and exceeded all expectations! We couldn't be happier with our decision to have our wedding here and would highly recommend this venue to any bride!

I can’t recommend the Fairmont enough! The elopement package that they offer is PERFECT for anyone looking for a small wedding, especially during the pandemic. Everything I could have asked for was included: venue, officiant, photographer, flowers, dinner, champagne, cake, suite for the wedding night and breakfast the next day! Joanna Bazzano took care of every detail, I didn’t have to worry about anything! She was even able to accommodate some of my special requests. All of the hotel staff were also super friendly and accommodating. The team at FL 2 were exceptionally great and ensured we had a FABULOUS first dinner as husband and wife. If I had to do it all again, I wouldn’t change a thing!

As a corona bride who needed to change my entire wedding location, size, and plans, Joanna Bazzano provided an easy, effortless solution with the Fairmont Elopement Package! The VERY affordable wedding elopement package included every detail: flowers, dinner, champagne toast, the hotel room, the cake, cookie table setup, ceremony setup, reception, and even a delicious breakfast in bed (yes! this is seriously all included)! With Joanna and the entire Fairmont staff doing everything for us, the ceremony and reception were so easy and fun. If you're a bride trying to plan your wedding, especially during the pandemic - this is 100% the best venue in Pittsburgh. Can’t recommend the Fairmont enough!

Rebecca Hallman and Joanna Bazzano were an absolute DREAM to work with. Our wedding was on New Year’s Eve - they both spent the entire day (and night!) with us and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They made the wedding process easy and fun. We are still receiving compliments from our guests - the venue was beautiful, the staff was amazing, the food was amazing, and the bar service was amazing (there was never a line, which is hard to believe with our guest list!) The entire Fairmont team was very professional and had great communication from day one. Rebecca even helped coordinate a vendor for our balloon drop at midnight and a pianist for our cocktail hour. Rebecca and Joanna met with us multiple times before the wedding to confirm our wedding details - from our timeline to setting up the ballroom and cocktail hour - every detail was exactly as we discussed. We can’t recommend the Fairmont enough - it was the perfect wedding venue!

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!! My daughter and her (now) husband chose The Fairmont immediately after our intial visit. We cancelled all other venue visits and we are thrilled with our choice! Natalie Weiss greeted us with a big smile, and continued to do so throughout our year of planning. Most of our guests would be coming into Pittsburgh for the wedding, and The Fairmont provided "One Stop Shopping" for our wedding weekend. The ceremony, reception, and after-party at "Andy's" in the hotel lobby were truly perfect!! Our guests never had to go from once facility to another for the entire weekend, and guests could walk to all that downtown had to offer easily. We had a huge block of rooms reserved for out-of-towner's and friends that wanted to stay in town after the wedding parties. Literally, everyone commented that the service, accommodations and staff were the best they had ever experienced!! The wedding planning with Natalie, the hotel staff from valet parking to bell-boys to front desk staff to wait staff to bartenders and finally to check out -- FANTASTIC!! I have two more daughters and can't wait to do this again at the Fairmont!!

My husband and I got married in April at the Fairmont and are still talking about our amazing experience with them! When we first met Natalie and toured the hotel, we instantly knew it was where we wanted our wedding. We loved the modern architecture and design of the entire hotel and especially the main ballroom. From our first meeting, our experience with the Fairmont continued to get better. Natalie was extremely helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. Her calm and confident demeanor helped eliminate any stress and assured us that everything was going to be perfect. Natalie was just the beginning of the wonderful staff we met at the Fairmont. When we entered the Fairmont on the wedding weekend, the staff at the Concierge Desk was extremely welcoming and accommodating. They immediately knew who we were and made sure we had everything we needed. They were also welcoming to all of guests. After the wedding, we continually received comments about how wonderful our guests’ experience at the Fairmont was and how much they loved all of the staff. The delightful people we met at the Fairmont did not stop at the front desk. The servers during our wedding reception were fantastic. Maria was the designated server at our sweetheart table. She made sure we were taken care of the entire evening. Her attentiveness and level of detail was outstanding. Throughout the evening, our guests kept commenting on how delicious their meal was and said our cake was the best wedding cake they have ever eaten! We are incredibly happy we chose the Fairmont as the place to have our wedding reception. It exceeded all of our expectations and made our day even more wonderful! My husband and I highly recommend the Fairmont to anyone planning a wedding, a special event, or a visit to Pittsburgh. From the food, to the staff, to the atmosphere, you will not be disappointed in the experience you have at the hotel.

I cannot say enough how amazing The Fairmont was for our wedding. From the first tour with Natalie to her checking to make sure our food was delicious on our wedding day, there was never a flaw in our year of working together before our wedding. The room itself is gorgeous as is, but Natalie took over and helped me add a white dance floor, chandeliers, and chivari chairs so I did not have to add another task to my list. The food was OUTSTANDING and looked and tasted exactly as it did during our tasting. The front desk staff, concierge, housekeeping, servers- every single person was SO lovely to us and our families and we had many guests tell us the same thing. We did our first look and family photos in the lobby and they are beyond gorgeous. I just can't say enough good things about this hotel, the people you will work with, the food you will eat, the immaculate cookie table they set up, or how downright genuinely wonderful our entire experience was. The Fairmont made our wedding day dreams come true and I would recommend it 10000000%.

Wow! Just WOW! It's been a little over a week since our daughter had her ceremony and wedding reception at the Fairmont and we were blown away! The staff is friendly and courteous, the hotel is clean and modern, the location is perfect and everything we planned (regarding our event) was amazing! We had a few phases and I'm so glad for the guidance of Natalie and her team! The ceremony in part of the ballroom was glorious. The cocktail reception with passed wine and hors d'oeuvres was elegant and made for great conversation. The dinner/reception - with choice of entrees was spectacular. Finally, the buffet breakfast for our guests the next morning was on point! The hotel staff even re-used our flowers from the night before! The hotel rooms were beautiful and I felt safe letting my 14 year old daughter come and go as needed. Our room block was handled with care and I was able to make adjustments as needed. We did rent the chandeliers and they added elegance to an already beautiful room. Our family is grateful to Mr. Stern, Natalie and the entire team at the Fairmont! It's the little things that add up and the attention to detail is superb! Make sure you call Natalie and set up a tour!

Planning a wedding is stressful in nature. If anyone tells you otherwise, they're a liar. When it came to picking our venue we immediately fell in in love with The Fairmont. The clean lines and beautiful space with all of its natural lighting, what wasn't there to like. The hidden bonus that you can't see in the pictures is working with all the amazing people at The Fairmont. Throughout the entire planning process Natalie was a step ahead of us and ready to guide us to the next decision that needed to be made. The million little details were broken up in a manageable way that didn't seem overwhelming or tedious. Working with Natalie was an absolute dream when it came to planning the wedding. After months of planning and came to the weekend of, literally every single person rolled out the red carpet and knew our names. Not only that, but they went above and beyond (what we ever would have expected) in providing or helping with anything we could have dreamed of needing. The Fairmont is obviously a well known name when it comes to luxury hotels. What I honestly think sets them out from the rest was the unprecedented hospitality from their entire staff. Which in my personal opinion is very hard to come by. Our wedding day was perfect and went off without a hitch. I know that I owe all of the thanks to Natalie and the entire staff that I'm sure played an even bigger behind the scenes role at The Fairmont. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't have changed a thing.

The hotel is absolutely beautiful and wonderful to stay in. The service was amazing. Natalie will be as hands on or hands off as you need her to be, yet attentive nonetheless. I personally liked the fact that the hotel has only one ballroom. You can rest assured that your big day will not be overlooked by another wedding that needs to be taken care of down the hall. Natalie’s full attention will be on you and your partner that evening. I cannot say enough good things about my experience. Everything was beautiful.

August 25, 2018.......Our Daughter's Wedding - PERFECT! Natalie, the Events Manager, supported every step of the way & made us feel very informed & comfortable. Never having done this, she eased my fumbling & stress to get to this day. When we had "another" question or two or three, it was no problem to email, talk on the phone or meet. Every menu selection we made was delicious, hot when served & very well received. We were continuously told throughout the reception that the food was excellent, the party was phenomenal & how much everyone loved the venue. EVERYONE we came in contact with could not have been more friendly or supportive. Sadly I don't recall everyone's name, but our bellman was prompt & smiling when we needed to move all the extra items we had for the wedding....multiple times. The waitress we had for breakfast Saturday went beyond the call of duty when asked for some salt to treat an on coming sore throat - she grabbed a salt grinder & ground it for me. Ron, the doorman, was phenomenal in helping us get all the "stuff" we needed to bring home packed safely in the back of our SUV. We didn't have near enough boxes so he came up with a number of towels which he wrapped each large glass terrarium in. Made it home with no problems. Again, thank you for everything.

We got married at the Fairmont on September 2, 2018 and it exceeded all our wildest dreams. Natalie was amazing to work with. From the moment we began planning to the end of the wedding weekend she was always accessible, helpful, and creative in helping us take our ideas and execute them. The planning meetings, meal tasting, and all the phone calls and emails were professional and thoughtful and we left every conversation feeling confident and well taken care of. On the wedding weekend we felt like royalty- every employee at the Fairmont did an amazing job and took such good care of us. Natalie and her team made sure everything was perfect and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We had our ceremony in the ballroom and it was beautiful. During our cocktail hour in the lobby outside the ballroom you would have no idea the work that the team put in to quickly flip the ballroom into the reception space. The room was stunning with a large dance floor, stage for the band, and plenty of space for our 200 guests. The meal was incredible and we got so many compliments on the food and the impeccable service. Natalie helped us plan an after party at the hotel bar complete with pizza and fries which was a big hit! We finished off the weekend with a beautiful brunch the next day outside the ballroom and left the weekend feeling like it was a dream. Our decision to have our wedding at the Fairmont was the best one we could have made. Everything exceeded our expectations and I would recommend the Fairmont to anyone looking for a beautiful, elegant, and fun wedding!

From the moment we walked into The Fairmont for our first consultation to the day we left after our wedding, it was five star, impeccable service. Natalie, the events manager, and the rest of her team does a truly incredible job. Throughout the planning process, the attention to detail, organizational skills and general advice given was extremely helpful and allowed us to stay at ease. We knew if Natalie was on it, it was covered. The best part was keeping everything under one roof and with one person. The second we made a decision with an outside vendor (i.e. linens), Natalie took care of the rest. Even when we asked for specific ice cream all the way from Penn State, The Fairmont team made it happen! Before the wedding, Natalie walked through every detail of the night, so we knew it would be perfect. Even the breakfast the next morning, which we decided to do just a few weeks before the wedding, was executed beautifully! The staff of the entire hotel was also incredibly accommodating all weekend. From the greetings at the door through to the bartenders at the wedding, we - along with our guests - were in awe of their kindness and service. Prior to the wedding, multiple people gave me the advice that “something will go wrong, just roll with it.” I can honestly say thanks to Natalie and the wonderful service at The Fairmont, nothing went wrong and our dream wedding came to life just as we imagined.

It was an absolutely lovely event from start to finish, the entire staff was wonderful and professional. Thank you to all the staff at the Fairmont!

Natalie at the Fairmont was responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. She answered every single question quickly, was a great sounding board for ideas, dealt with unruly groomsmen, and gave me the most valuable advice ever the night of the wedding - how to hold onto the chair during the hora so I didn't fall off! Highly recommend them for a venue!

The Fairmont Pittsburgh, amazing in every aspect of the wedding planning, the wedding day, the reception and the day after. The Fairmont is a class act. First the venue - the hotel is gorgeous, lots of opportunities for great photos, the food 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.

If you could rate over 5 stars I would have done so in a heart beat. Since our wedding one of the first things our guests tell us is how great the food was at the wedding and how great all of the people working at the Fairmont are. Impress your 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

My wife and I had our wedding reception at The Fairmont Hotel in September, and we could not have been more happy with the entire process. First, the staff was outstanding, friendly, and absolutely made us feel like they were there to assist in 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.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Fairmont Pittsburgh on September 23, 2017 and it was nothing short of perfect!!! The hotel itself is spectacular and that's just the beginning. From start to finish, we couldn't be more pleased 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!

We couldn't have asked for a more magical day than we had on the day of our wedding, July 15, 2017. From the beginning of the planning process, the Fairmont was absolutely attentive, caring, and willing to do whatever it took to make sure my husband 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.

I am the mother of the Bride. I have 3 children and have hosted 3 weddings in the last 4 years for my children. The wedding at the Fairmont Pittsburgh was by far, hands down, the most beautiful amazing wedding I could have ever hoped to provide 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!

I had the most amazing wedding, and it was largely due to this venue! The views of Pittsburgh are incredible. The staff is amazing! They were so efficient, attentive & professional. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The rooms are perfect, 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!

The Fairmont Pittsburgh saved my wedding! A mere 5 months before our wedding this past May, my husband and I decided to change our wedding venue last minute due to difficulties we were having with our original choice. In a panic-stricken week, 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!

The Fairmont is a very classy and modern hotel. My husband and I got a suite for our wedding night and there was huge bathroom and giant comfortable bed! The staff certainly made us feel like royalty during our stay!

My wife and I had our wedding reception at the Fairmont at the end of October after a long 10 months of planning. The finished product? In a word, outstanding. The Fairmont went above and beyond our expectations, and we'd like to share a few reasons 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.

We had the absolute best experience with the Fairmont and Madeline, the event coordinator for our wedding this past month. The entire process from start to wedding day went smoothly with all of Madelines help. We had a large wedding and made it 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!

We had the reception following our daughter's wedding on Oct 1. 2016 at the Fairmont. We would highly recommend the Fairmont for anyone who is looking for a wedding venue. From our initial contact with the team headed by Madeline Kelly we were 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.

I recently held my reception at the Fairmont Pittsburgh and could not have been happier. Madeline was a dream to work with, her calm and fun personality makes you feel reassured and enjoy the process. The entirety of the staff at the hotel, from 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!

Madeline and the Fairmont staff were easy to work with, accommodating and very professional. We would recommend them to anyone. About half our guests were from out of town and the hotel was in a great location for them to explore the city. The 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!

Right from the start, my husband and I knew this was the venue where we wanted to hold our wedding reception. We had visited a few other downtown and local venues, none of which had the grandness of the Fairmont. The cocktail hour area was large, 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.

We had the most spectacular wedding at the Fairmont Pittsburgh. The hotel is new, elegant, very modern and sleek and has a very lovely ballroom (along with several smaller function rooms) and is perfect for wedding ceremonies/receptions. The food 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.

Our experience at the Fairmont was top-notch. We already loved the hotel, as we stay there every Valentine's Day and frequent Andy's bar. It was a meaningful place to us and the staff just helped make it even more meaningful. Ron and Walter 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.

The Fairmont experience was spectacular. The venue was beautiful, the food was excellent, and the service was superb. Their wedding coordinator Madeline was very accommodating and was hugely helpful for our large event. She did an excellent job of making sure everything went the way we wanted it to go. She also recommended our DJ who everyone loved.

0Anna Kaminsky If you want to have a wedding that is perfect from the first minute to the last this is your place! I can't speak highly enough about how wonderful our experience has been with Fairmont and Madeline in particularly. We just had our 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.

THE BEST PITTSBURGH VENUE!!!! We celebrated our wedding at the Fairmont on 6/4/16 and I don't know where to begin other than to say it was PERFECT! There is no way that there is any other venue in Pittsburgh that goes above and beyond like the 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!!
