My wife and I celebrated our wedding at the LeMont this past New Year’s Eve and I couldn’t possibly be happier with the outcome. Bill Laughlin and his staff were the most attentive, thoughtful, and responsive vendors we could have ever asked for. The room was perfection, the food was exceptional, the service was elite… there is truly nothing that could’ve gone better! I would recommend this 11 out of 10 times!

We flew in from California to have our wedding here and it was the best time! Staff was amazing and you could not beat the views! The food was actually so good! We received so many compliments on the food. So happy we chose to go with them!

Everything at LeMont was top notch. From initial set up of the room to the attentiveness of the waitstaff throughout the night everything was perfect. Bill was great to work with and accommodated every request with no issues, including some last minute and day of changes to the number of guests. They made the whole process easy.

The LeMont was the perfect venue for our wedding. Bill helped coordinate and make the day go smoothly. He also helped answer my many, many, emails for the day of set up with vendors, tables, cookies, centerpieces, etc. The food (filet, salmon, chicken) and appetizers were amazing and turned out perfectly for everyone. Plus you cannot beat this view of the city. I am so happy we went with the LeMont, and a special thank you to Bill for exceeding our expectations.

We hosted our rehearsal dinner at the Lemont the Friday night before our wedding. I mainly put my MIL in charge of the rehearsal dinner and she did not disappoint! The view was beautiful for our out of town guests, the food and drinks were outstanding and the service was excellent! The cost is also way more reasonable than you would expect! We highly recommend Bill and the Lemont staff for any event.

The wedding night was fabulous. Bill (planning) and Tom (on the day) were so helpful and I felt throughout the whole process and day of the reception that I made the right choice!! The venue provides fantastic food, a stunning view, and attentive service. Everything was perfect.

Bill (banquet manager) did an incredible job with our January 2023 wedding. The moment my husband and I entered the restaurant, Bill was there to welcome us and get us drinks. His waitstaff attended to us the whole evening, meaning we actually got to eat the delicious food! And might I say, our entrees came out piping hot. Everything was delicious, especially the cake! Oh, the cake... Everyone had an absolute blast at our wedding, and I can't imagine having had it anywhere else. How could you beat the view, food, and service of the LeMont? They even put a card in our card box. Thank you, Bill, for making our day SO perfect, and answering every single email over a year of planning.

We had our July 2022 wedding at LeMont and I could not have been any happier with my decision to host our wedding here. From the moment we first reached out and met with Bill, he made the entire process so easy for us. Bill is a seasoned professional with a staff that goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect for your wedding. Not to mention, because of the view and decor of the restaurant you have the perfect backdrop for a classic and elegant Pittsburgh wedding with no need of additional "extras" which ultimately saves costs for you! Of course, it goes without saying that the food is incredible and our family and friends are still raving about their experience. THIS is classic Pittsburgh.

LeMont was an excellent venue for our wedding reception. LeMont is already quite well-known throughout Pittsburgh for its food—often, when we told people where our reception would be, they would get excited about how good our food and view would be.
We won’t go into too many details on the wonderful location and view—that speaks for itself—but will say that it provided an excellent way for our out-of-town guests to enjoy Pittsburgh. Additionally, the space and decor at LeMont are so beautiful that even our florist thought that floral centerpieces would be unnecessary, which really helped us stay in budget.
We worked with Bill Laughlin to plan our reception at LeMont. Bill is highly professional and was generous in accommodating our requests and answering our many, many questions. The hors d'oeuvres, dinner, and cake were all delicious and well-priced. The entire evening went very smoothly.
One thing that we were surprised by (and so grateful for) was the way in which LeMont helped us to stay in budget. We felt that the pricing was extremely reasonable—and even generous—given the iconic view, the delicious food, and all the time and care that went into our reception. Before choosing LeMont as a venue, we had read positive reviews about their pricing, but we were still surprised by the degree to which it ended up being affordable.
We highly recommend LeMont for a great wedding reception in Pittsburgh.

Bill and everyone at the LeMont made our wedding a night we will never forget! From the frantic need to relocate our wedding due to COVID (after pushing from 2020), to Bill's cool, calm, & collected demeanor upon meeting him, to his answering ALL the emails I sent to him between March and July, thanks to our rebooking during COVID, to the day of. We planned our wedding from out of state and he and his team were available to answer any and all questions via phone or email. They were even accommodating for our tasting to be a weekend we were in town. The day before, they received all our decorations - centerpieces, signs, favors, placecards and dozens of 50 different types of cookies and their nametags - all without hesitation or concern! Bill was at the door with catering carts and we were able to drop it all off, send pictures and descriptions of what went where and how the centerpieces were to be set up, and they took it from there. The new elevators they put in during COVID were life savers for this and for our older relatives that struggle with steps. Do not hesitate to book them! EVERYONE raves about the view, the FOOD, and the service! And the wedding party got appetizers and drinks in the cigar bar upstairs prior/during cocktail hour so we could take a breath, bustle my dress, and just enjoy a few moments of laughter without interruption. It was a dream come true venue and luckily was available months before our date without having to pick a 4th new date. When we walked down the stairs, we were in awe of how perfect it all looked. We cannot say enough good things about Bill and his team at the LeMont!

When my husband and I started planning our wedding, we could've only dreamed of having it at the Lemont. Bill and his colleagues made our dream a reality! From the professionalism, to the organization, to the AMAZING food and drinks - everything was PERFECT.
My wedding guests could not stop telling me how beautiful this venue is. Bill and Tony made it a perfectly organized and BEAUTIFUL day! I will be reminiscing about our wedding day for the rest of my life!

I don't think I could've dreamed of a better wedding venue than LeMont. My husband and I had to postpone and change our wedding venue multiple times, thanks to Covid. LeMont was the most beautiful & elegant spot, and I am relieved that we ended up tying the knot there. I attribute a lot of the smoothness of the day to Bill Laughlin and the LeMont team. Everyone was so incredibly friendly and helpful during our planning process, and the day of. (When I was an anxious spaz during planning and the day of, to be honest.) The #1 compliment that we got from our guests was how delicious the meals were. (We picked the filet, chicken bruschetta, and salmon.) Everything from the valet, bar service, food, and the entire staff was all impeccable. I could not recommend LeMont enough, and I encourage any future bride to choose this venue. You will NOT be disappointed. :)

My husband and I had our wedding at the Lemont this past weekend and five stars is not enough to give the LeMont! From the beginning, Bill and Melissa were so helpful and quick to respond if we had any questions. Tony helped to run the show the day of and between him and his attentive staff, there were no issues. The view (both day and night) is incredible as is the food. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure this was the wedding of our dreams and it really was.

I am the Mother of the Bride, and the Lemont went above and beyond for my daughter's wedding last weekend. The view, the food, the service from the bartenders to the servers, and the most fabulous wedding cake! My daughter does not even like cake but Bill came up with cake that Erin loved and so did everyone else. Bill Laughlin was the lynchpin and the key to such a wonderful night, he answers your emails immediately, he kept everything running smoothly- I cannot say enough about him and his quiet management, it was the perfect place for our reception!

We were so lucky to have held our wedding reception at the LeMont. What better way to show off Pittsburgh than at this venue.
Bill and the entire team at the LeMont were so easy to work with, and they went above and beyond to give us the wedding of our dreams! The LeMont exceeded our expectations- from the food, to the service, and every detail in between.
Bill is responsive and easy to reach, and working with him was a breeze! We had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic, and Bill remained supportive, optimistic, and positive throughout the entire time.
We cannot recommend the LeMont enough to anyone looking for a venue that goes above and beyond, is easy to work with, and provides the best experience.

I literally can’t believe that every couple in Pittsburgh doesn’t get married here. The service, the food, the views, the ambiance, and literally every single attention to detail is PERFECTION. I was so excited for all of our out of town guests to see this place. The food is 5 stars alone but you can’t beat the service. Bill is an extraordinary manager and is honestly the calmest and most easy going wedding vendor I’ve had the opportunity to deal with! He made our wedding planning so easy and smooth the whole way through. I could not have asked for a better night at the Lemont. I can’t wait to come here for every anniversary! Thank you for such a perfect night

My whole life, I've envisioned a romantic and glamorous wedding and I couldn't be happier that the LeMont made those dreams come true and then some. We had to change our wedding date and venue many times and during the process were able to pick up the LeMont and it was the best decision we had for our wedding. Bill, Tony, and the rest of their team couldn't have been more perfect. They were all so kind, friendly, and accommodating. If you're still looking for a venue, please look no further than the LeMont. I couldn't recommend them enough!!!!

It would be impossible to say enough wonderful things about the Lemont and their incredible staff! My fiancé and I started planning our wedding there in 2019, well before the COVID pandemic began. From early on during the pandemic up until the day of our wedding, Bill was incredibly calming and went out of his way to make our day perfect. His calming presence always made me walk away feeling a million times better about our wedding reception.
The week of our wedding we had several cancelations due to COVID and the Lemont was flexible with us and never held us financially responsible for any guest who didn’t attend. They worked with us to solidify our seating chart up until the morning of the wedding. In addition to having the spacing however we wanted, they also accommodated having two guests per table who wanted to sit without others. They were the definition of accommodating and were truly caring in their service!
Aside from Covid concerns, the Lemont is truly the most beautiful and elegant place to hold a wedding reception. The food cannot be matched anywhere else and the atmosphere is incredibly romantic! We simply dropped off our centerpieces, decorative items, etc to the restaurant on Friday and when we walked into the reception, everything was set up perfectly.
I could not have asked for a more beautiful, accommodating, and romantic venue for a wedding. Bill and his staff are beyond compare! If you’re looking for a classy, elegant location with the kindest and most competent staff, the Lemont is the ideal place for you!

If I could give LeMont 100 stars, I would! LeMont went above and beyond the call of duty to make our very small wedding absolutely perfect for us! Bill, the banquet coordinator, was professional and made everything go off without a hitch! We had to downsize to a very small guest count due to covid restrictions and had to find a new ceremony and reception venue that would bring the “magic” for our day. My husband and I officially started dating at The LeMont, so we knew it would be a perfect fit. We just didn’t know how perfect at the time! Bill waived the normal minimum number of people required to reserve a private room on a Saturday night in light of the covid regulations. He also answered all of my emails and calls promptly- we had to pull everything together in just a little over a month, so there were a lot of details to work out! Bill was always calm, professional, and incredibly reliable.
At the time of booking, we were their only wedding for our date, so we were booked for the portion of the huge downstairs room that has the prime view of the city. (This huge downstairs room is usually separated by a divider so as to make two still very large rooms). A few weeks before the wedding, Bill informed my mother-in-law that another small party would be on the other side of the downstairs room that evening. At some point on the day of the wedding, my mom mentioned that the owners of LeMont were actually going to be on the other side of the divider celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary! To say I was shocked would be an understatement! I want to extend a sincere thank you to the owners of LeMont, Mr. and Mrs. Dunlap. I was truly touched and amazed that they permitted me and my husband to stick in the side of the room that has the particularly gorgeous Pittsburgh view. At any other restaurant with any other owners, we would surely have found ourselves bumped to the other side of the room, which while beautiful doesn’t possess quite the same iconic view of the city. It truly speaks to the Dunlaps’ character as well as that of LeMont as a whole that the owners as well as all staff put the guest experience at the forefront at all times. I would have totally understood the need to move us due to such a milestone anniversary for the owners of the restaurant...we will be forever touched that they put us, perfect strangers, above themselves!
I’m still pretty shocked - cannot imagine things shaking out the way it did for us at literally any other restaurant...My husband and I have always known that LeMont is a special restaurant, but the process of planning and having our small wedding there really made me realize that it’s the people, especially those with leadership roles, that set the tone for going above and beyond to maximize the guest experience.
Brian, the manager who managed our room on the day of the wedding, and countless other members of LeMont’s staff stepped up for us whenever we needed anything at all. The LeMont has also invested in and installed state of the art UV air filters all over the restaurant so as to make the indoor dining situation as safe as possible for staff and guests during these unusual times.
At the end of the day, our day was beyond perfect and we can’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else!

We had our wedding reception at Le Mont at the end of July and could not be happier. Bill helped us plan the whole thing from out of state and took care of everything! We didn’t have to worry about a thing. He recommended an awesome florist. Due to COVID, we didn’t have a wedding planner, but we didn’t need one at all. We dropped everything off to Bill in the morning and he and his team made sure to set everything up. Our bartender and server, Don, was incredible! He was so attentive and had a great personality. My husband and I got our first dance and We’re able to cut our cake as well as have our own sweetheart table. Thank you so much Le Mont staff, for making our reception absolutely amazing during this crazy time.

LeMont was the perfect venue for our ceremony and reception. They were very accommodating to our requests, and Bill was prompt with his responses.
My husband and I thought LeMont was a great value for the location, food quality, and services provided.LeMont was very upfront with costs, and allowed us to stock the open bar with our selection of beers and wines. LeMont allowed us to forego stocking any liquor, which allowed us to stay on budget. I'm pretty sure local guests thought we spent upwards of $20K on this venue, but realistically we spent about $10K for 125 guests, including gratuity and tax.
LeMont was also very accommodating to our schedule, guest food requests, table layout, and my mom's thousands of cookies.
Our guests were very happy with the food, service, and view, and everyone had a great night. I can't imagine anything we would have changed.

We had the most amazing reception at the LeMont. Bill and Tony are wedding connoisseurs & handled our large wedding reception with ease. We had a crazy amount of cookies that were displayed beautifully and everything was set up nicely and how we had requested. The restaurant is classic and beautiful which even takes stress away in the decorating process because things are already gorgeous in there. We even had our own special area for the bridal party before our entrances that makes you feel like your in the great Gatsby. The Pittsburgh view is stunning and we even lucked out with pirates post game fireworks during the reception. They accommodated to a selection of meals we chose for a large crowd, and although dinner was a little slower than projected timeline everything was cooked to perfection and every guest commented on how delicious their meals were. They made sure my husband and I were happy all night long and they couldn't have been nicer about our one million questions in the planning process. Gorgeous venue, great staff, fantastic food and surprisingly very reasonably priced for the high quality you get. Highly recommend the LeMont!

My wedding was this past Saturday, April 6, 2019. I can’t say enough about how amazingly perfect every thing turned out!! Bill was amazing to work with. He’s prompt at responding to emails and requests. He knows exactly how to make everything run smoothly. The whole venue was set up perfectly. The night of both Bill and Tony saw to it that all ran smoothly. I had my ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all at the LeMont. The whole event went off without any issues. Half of the wedding guests were from out of town and they were overwhelmed with the amazing views and the whole setup of the venue. My guests were raving about all of the food choices. If you’re looking for a classic venue with an amazing view and delicious food then you must choose the LeMont. You won’t be disappointed.

We choose LeMont for our rehearsal dinner. We wanted to have a view of the city the night before we were married downtown! Overall, the experience the day of the event was great! Good food and service.
We would've liked more communication when it came to setting up the room. We reached out a few times to make this decision, but were always told it was someone else we needed to contact. The night of the event, it was difficult to talk to guests with the set up they chose and there were NO cocktail tables to mingle. We asked the staff to bring in cocktail tables, which they did right away. However, it was awkward they were doing set up while our event was happening.

If you're looking for a simple, stress-free, elegant wedding with an amazing view, look no further. The LeMont provides an amazing value for any wedding.
The LeMont was a dream to work with. Their experienced staff worked with us efficiently on all of the details of our reception. They take care of a lot of the details that other places won't: they'll provide you a wedding cake, all of the linens, table numbers, set up the entire reception space including decorations and cookie table, and handled all food and liquor, all for an extremely reasonable price. Going with the LeMont allowed us to remove so many things from our to-do list.
After all of the planning and ceremony, the LeMont is the perfect reception location to celebrate with all of your loved ones. Elegant trappings, professional service, delicious food, and a jaw dropping view all form the backdrop for a perfect night.

Most of our guests are not from Pittsburgh, so when I was planning our wedding, I wanted to give our guests a day that really showcased the city. The LeMont is by far the absolute best location for that. There is not enough words to describe how beautiful the city looks from their banquet rooms. It makes for the most amazing backdrop. We had our wedding on 10/27/18 in the lower level. The space was perfect. We had our own private bar area with restrooms on that level, so we never even noticed another event in the upper space. It was perfectly private. The entire wedding planning process with Bill Laughlin, the event director was the absolute best. He was so kind and accommodating, understanding, responsive, and just generally so easy to work with. We did not have a wedding planner, so things could have stressed us out very easily, but it never did thanks to Bill and the amazing staff at the LeMont. When we got there for the reception everything was exactly as I had imagined it; the centerpieces, cookie table, cake, decorations, hors d'oeuvers...everything was perfect. Dinner service flowed perfectly with absolutely no issues and the waiters always made sure that myself and my husband had wine and were eating and taking time to enjoy the night. And the food was so so good...even better than at our tasting! At the end of the evening I was introduced to the owner who was just as kind as Bill and the rest of the staff. It's now almost been a month since our wedding and people are still talking about how amazing the LeMont was. Bill and everyone at the LeMont made our wedding reception perfect!

I cannot speak highly enough about Bill, Tony and the entire LeMont staff. They are true professionals. Very easy to work with and executed everything flawlessly on our big day. The food was obviously delicious and they were so accommodating for our guests with food sensitivities/allergies - not one mix up or complaint about the array of special requests we had. They also were able to serve four of our guests with special anniversary desserts. Everything went off without a hitch! The bartenders were excellent and knew every drink ordered by our guests. We had one guest even request nonalcoholic beer and they found some for us! The venue was beyond stunning. Honestly we didn't even need to bring in anything - it is beautiful on its own and you cannot beat the view. I would give more stars if I could they are that phenomenal!

Our extended family had the great treat of attending the rehearsal dinner for my daughter and son-in-law hosted by his family at the LeMont in July 2018. First the venue: old-world ambiance, good food, wonderful and attentive staff, with an AMAZING view of Point State Park and Pittsburgh’s many bridges. Our group of about 60 had a downstairs dining room (with separate bar area) all to ourselves. Lots and lots of space to mingle before dinner over drinks, enjoy the views and take pictures before the buffet dinner. Wonderful that we were encouraged to take our time, sit over coffee and dessert as the sun set and the view and light became even more beautiful. So many of the attendees had never been to Pittsburgh before—what a gracious introduction!

The LeMont was above our expectations. The food, staff, accommodations, affordability and VIEWS made our experience unforgettable. Planning with Bill and Tony was seamless and they made sure that everything we wanted was made possible. From our food tasting, to last minute requests and changes, and even day of "crisis", Bill was happy to help in any way and made sure my husband and I did not stress so we could enjoy ourselves. We were pulled aside for pictures right in the middle of eating and the staff made sure to take our food away to keep warm while we were gone and immediately brought it out when we sat back down. There was a small issue with missing name cards for guests and Bill made sure to handle calmly and efficiently. He really is a great person to work with, very laid back but does his job exceptionally. We were even introduced to the owner during the night which was a nice touch. As for price, don't shy away from LeMont. We had 160 guests and when looking at other places LeMont was the most affordable for everything you get. And they don't nickle and dime you like many other places do for weddings. Anything we asked for we got, with no hesitation. I recommend them to anyone having an event. And I plan to continue to use them for other events in our future. The LeMont was by far the least stressful part (if any) of our wedding planning process. Our guests raved about the venue, staff, food and could not get enough of that Pittsburgh view. I really have nothing negative to say about the LeMont.

Had a small luncheon style wedding on 3/11/18. Everything was perfect! Working with Bill and Melissa for the planning was very smooth and they made everything easy to plan. The day of the wedding I was able to get there early and set up my decorations/centerpieces. The staff was phenomenal and the banquet manger Anthony was a pleasure to work with. He made sure everything was perfect and his staff was friendly and attentive. The food was perfect and everyone who attended the wedding loved everything. No one left disappointed. I would recommend the Lemont to anyone who is looking for a small,medium, or large event as they are very professional and easy to work with. Plus the view makes for the best photos without having to stand on the side of grandview ave.

Bill was a pleasure to work with and did everything he could to accommodate us from dropping items off, to setting up, to cleaning up the next day. Out of town guests rave about the view of the city from the upstairs ballroom and everyone had good things to say about the food and service. The LeMont does not disappoint on making a wedding reception a special night to remember.

I am so happy that we chose the LeMont to have our wedding ceremony and reception at. We had a lot of out of town guests, and the venue truly wowed them. There is not a single thing I would have changed about our wedding day. The LeMont made sure that my day was absolutely perfect. Our guests told us it was the fanciest wedding they had ever been to, that the food was delicious, and the view was spectacular. It’s hard finding a venue that knocks all your wish list items out of the park, and the LeMont did it.
Bill Laughlin was also so easy to work with. He e-mailed back within a few hours which was nice, especially leading up to the wedding. You would have thought I was the only Bride he was working with, which I know is not the case since he has e-mailed me since my wedding and asked about one of my vendors. A Bride saw pictures of my reception and wanted to know one of my vendors. I think it shows how much he truly cares by going above and beyond to get this information to make another Bride’s day perfect. Bill also worked with all of my vendors to arrange set up and pick up times so that I didn’t have to stress. I was able to drop all of my décor off the day before, and the staff at the LeMont set it up beautifully with very little instruction. It was so nice not to have to stress about setting up the venue before the wedding. I was truly overwhelmed walking into the venue for the first time. Our ceremony was absolutely stunning since the setup is in the corner of the room overlooking the City. I loved showing off the City this way to our out of town guests! I would definitely recommend the LeMont to other couples looking for a wedding venue, it was truly amazing. Thank you, Bill and the rest of the staff, for making our day perfect!!

I could not rave enough about LeMont. The beauty of it is obvious. Our guests raved all night and every day after the wedding. The food was incredible. Appetizers were great. The cake was more beautiful than I had even imagined. But what REALLY made this place was Bill Laughlin, the banquet manager. Bill was amazing from the start. He replied to my millions of emails within an hour every time. He was SO accommodating. Basically everything I asked, he said yes to. He is really helpful with finding ways to keep the cost down, which is so nice because you expect people to push you to do the expensive option. Bill was there for the rehearsal and the whole day of. Every time I talked to him leading up to the wedding and the day of, he made me feel at ease. The whole staff was incredible the day of too. The view is the best in the whole city, the space was plenty big with room to spare, the staff is awesome, the food is amazing, it was just the most perfect venue for the most perfect day.

The LeMont was an absolute dream venue for our wedding! The whole process from beginning to end was organized, flexible, and simple. Bill was pretty much our wedding coordinator- helping and leading quietly but effectively. The venue provided the quintessential view of Pittsburgh that was wonderful for out of town guests to see! The food was delicious of course too! Highly recommend the LeMont to any Pittsburgh couple :)

We hosted our rehearsal dinner at the LeMont. With most of our guests being from out of town, dinner overlooking the skyline was the perfect introduction to Pittsburgh. Bill was easy to work with, incredibly responsive and his team provides first-class service all the way. The food was delicious and the menu was easy to customize for our needs. The entire evening was perfect from start-to-finish. We really could not have dreamed a better start to our wedding weekend.

Whether you are from Pittsburgh, or out-of-town (like half of our guests), LeMont truly highlights the beauty of the city. We were grateful for how easily everything fell into place at LeMont, but looking back at those "thank goodness XYZ happened moments," other than the weather, I can only thank LeMont Restaurant and Bill Laughlin for making our wedding planning and weekend run smoothly. I live in NYC and had limited time to visit LeMont, making food selections, and decide on the decor. Bill was flexible with scheduling, making decisions over the phone or by email, and in our unique requests (e.g. making a DIY photobooth with the gold curtains in the cocktail hour space as a backdrop, and allowing us to having wine bottles as guest books). He was honest about costs, and we knew months ahead of time what to expect of the bill, and when to pay it. My Pittsburgh family would say comments like "you must have spent a fortune at this venue," but in all honesty, I did vast research on affordability in Pittsburgh venues, and LeMont was the most cost-effective choice of the nicer places. I had both my wedding and my reception at LeMont, and they both turned out perfectly! In all honesty, I had always imagined my wedding at an outdoor venue, like a park or a botanical garden, but I am SO happy we decided to choose LeMont. We took our first look photos outside at a park, so I still had those classic, natural light photographs. Thank you SO much Bill and LeMont!

Tony and his team were an absolute joy to work with for our March 25 wedding. We had both our ceremony and reception at the same venue. Initially, I was disappointed that our guest count ended up being too large to accommodate the ceremony in the space the way I wanted. However, Tony and team were quick to problem solve and come up with another option that ended up working well on the day of. The ceremony space holds only 180-190 (we ended up having 210).
All in all, the night ran seamlessly. We had dropped off all of the reception decor the night before, and the team set everything up exactly as I had requested. I have received (and am still receiving) countless compliments from our guests on the food, cake, and most importantly the view! We had a lot of guests from out of town, and with that stunning view of the city, we couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else.

We had our wedding at the LeMont in October 2016. Bill Laughlin is a gem in Pittsburgh. You will not find better! He is so knowledgeable about every detail of your wedding and made me feel at ease every time we meet with him, emailed him, or called him leading up to the big day! Also, he is very responsive! He will work with you to exceed your expectations! The venue itself is so beautiful... that view is the best in the city, and everyone at the wedding told me how much they enjoyed it! (We had a lot of out of town guests who were so impressed!) The food was outstanding! The bartenders were outstanding! I cannot say enough about the wonderful and professional experience I had with the LeMont! Book this venue if you are lucky enough to find a date you like (since it books up fast)! You won't be disappointed and will make the most beautiful memories on your wedding day!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Le Mont and it was perfect. The cost was surprisingly reasonable, and the service and views were exceptional. Bill and his team at the Le Mont were amazing and everything that we had planned ended up exactly as we hoped. Bill responded immediately to every single one of my (many) questions and I always felt like he had it all under control. He coordinated with the other vendors seamlessly and said 'yes' to any particular request or need we had. If you're thinking of having your wedding in Pittsburgh, we highly recommend the Le Mont!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful the LeMont was. We had both our ceremony and reception there and it was so easy and straightforward to plan. Bill, Tony, and the team were so accommodating; every issue/question I had was always quickly answered and every request was met. The downstairs private room was arranged nicely for the ceremony, giving everyone a view of the city as the backdrop for our vows. The wait staff was excellent; they even made sure to seek out the groom and I to be sure our glasses were filled, we had hors d'oeuvres, etc during the cocktail hour when we were taking family pictures. Dinner was delicious and efficient and the room was set up beautifully for the reception in such a short amount of time.

Bill and his team at the LeMont are so great and easy to work with! We had a small luncheon wedding reception, and they were very accommodating every step of the way. We were able to use the beautiful main bar area due to the small size of our party, and it was easily the best view in the whole place. Bill and the other staff decorated the room beautifully with very, very minimal instructions from us (because we were not the world's most detailed planners...). They were also so helpful with moving the timeline along without having an MC. The food was delicious: our guests loved the filet and all the appetizers! The waitstaff and bartender were wonderful and clearly seasoned professionals. Even though the LeMont isn't a "hip" new restaurant concept, they really lead the pack in terms of experience with weddings and events. Overall a wonderful venue and an iconic Pittsburgh experience!

Our LeMont wedding was perfect - easy to plan (Bill is great to work with), fantastic food, unbeatable view, way more budget-friendly than you would think. I didn't think we'd be able to afford the LeMont, but it is the best value in Pittsburgh. I'm pretty sure our guests think we spent a fortune. Everything was beautiful and so, so fun!

We had our wedding at The LeMont on New Year's Eve 2015. Everything was fabulous and I can't say enough good things about The LeMont. Bill is the absolute best to work with, EVERYONE raved about the food, and of course, it is a stunning venue. We held both our ceremony and reception there and the transition was seamless. I would recommend The LeMont looking for an opulent place to have their wedding. The pricing was very reasonable for everything we received. LOVE!

We worked with Bill and from start to finish he was organized and diligent and continuously checked on us during our dinner. We had a small wedding of 57 people and it was perfect! The food, the view, and the service was more than I could hope for. We were able to do made to order entrees since we had a smaller group and it ensured that all of our guests food was perfectly cooked. I would strongly suggest the Lemont as the perfect Pittsburgh venue!

The LeMont has the perfect art deco flare and elegance to make my small wedding celebration look like a million bucks! I had my ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner all in the same room and it worked out perfectly! 1. Best view in the city - AMAZING! 2. Beautiful décor with black and gold and crystal chandeliers. 3. Food was delicious and amazing (almost everyone ordered the filet).
I had to make a little more effort than I expected in the communications with the banquet manager, but it was okay since I knew exactly what I wanted and how I wanted everything set up. They gave me everything I asked for...I just had to know to ask.
I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who loves or lives in Pittsburgh and wants to feel like high society.
We will be back for our anniversary every year!

LeMont did an incredible job for our wedding in November. The wedding coordinator, Bill, was exceptional from day one. Even before we booked the venue, he listened to me and answered all my questions in a very easygoing manner, not trying to push me in a certain direction. When I booked the venue, settling the details could not have been easier. For me as a bride it was so refreshing to work with someone who was so relaxed and chill, who put me at ease myself. He would answer my emails almost instantly, getting all the details down without a hitch. The day before the wedding, I dropped off a few reception accessories, and the next day our wedding was all set up by the LeMont staff. It was beautiful! The staff were incredible and knew what they were doing, always ready to help and make sure things were going smoothly. The guests couldn't stop raving about the venue, view, or food. LeMont certainly impressed. I would highly recommend this venue!

Everything was flawless with the LeMont. Bill was our coordinator along the planning process and Tony helped us out on the day of and we couldn't be more happy with them. They are genuinely nice men that have seen everything and I'm not sure anything would surprise them if you asked. Every request or question I had for Bill was met with an answer and easy solution. No drama, no stress. Actually, the entire staff at the LeMont was gracious and kind the day of the wedding. I believe they do over 500 weddings a year and it shows. They have it down to a T. Our food was DELICIOUS. Guests remarked on not only how good the food was but how the view was spectacular. We had a rainy wedding day but the city still looked as beautiful as ever from up there.

Unbelievable. This space is easily the best venue in Pittsburgh, hands down. Nothing can compete with what this venue offers - first class dining, attentive staff, gorgeous interior 1920's classic design, and THE VIEW. No other venue can offer the most breathtaking view in the country as their backdrop for their wedding while also providing 5 star meals. Everything went flawlessly. Bill Laughlin was amazing to work with - he would answer every trivial question of mine within an hour or so. He was able to accommodate every request I had from special drinks to after dinner snacks. Multiple times throughout the reception Bill went out of his way to find me and ask if I needed anything or what he could do to make the night better. I had many out of town guests at the wedding and over and over again people said that this was the best wedding that they have ever been to in their ENTIRE lives. Do not look anyway else - the LeMont is the only venue you should consider for a wedding reception! It was reasonably priced as well for the 5 star quality that we received. We expected the bill to be MUCH higher given the quality of our reception, but it was surprisingly affordable. THANK YOU to the LeMont for making our dreams come true and being the setting for the best day of our lives! We can't wait to come back and dine with you again and again.

The minute I stepped in the LeMont restaurant when venue shopping, I know that this was the place for our wedding. The view is spectacular and was a great way to show out-of-towners what Pittsburgh is all about.
Planning the wedding with the LeMont was an incredibly smooth process. Bill, the banquet manager, runs everything like a well oiled machine. As a high strung, type A bride, I found him very comforting! The groom and are are both from Pittsburgh, so we had to have a traditional Pittsburgh Cookie Table at the wedding. We had a ridiculous amount of cookies, and Bill ensured us that they could handle it (and they did)! Even when we had a few cancellations the day before the wedding, Bill was able to make the changes for us.
The day of the wedding was magical. All of the vendors worked directly with Bill to coordinate arrivals, etc. I didn't have to worry about a thing. Everything was so smooth and the venue looked beautiful (despite some rain outside, the view was still amazing). The food and service were top notch. I couldn't have been happier with my experience! Thank you to Bill and the LeMont!

The LeMont was the perfect reception venue. At first we wrote it off because we assumed it would be outrageously expensive, given its swanky reputation. However, after looking into the packages and meeting with the banquet manager Bill, we were pleasantly surprised to see that it was completely affordable and an overall great value!
Planning was a breeze as Bill was responsive to every email (I think the longest amount of time I waited for a response was 4 hours). He answered every question with ease and helped us make sure everything was in place. I had a lot of moving pieces, with extra decor, a candy bar, cocktail hour, and sparkler send-off. Everything went off without a hitch thanks to the LeMont staff's excellent planning and professionalism.
Aside from the ease of planning with everything included in one package (bar, meal, cake, linens, space rental), you really cannot beat this venue for a Pittsburgh wedding. The view is breathtaking - I still have guests telling me that our wedding was a highlight of their summer. We used the lower banquet room, which was perfect as it offered tiered floors - one for dinner and dancing, the other with restrooms and bar. This made the reception feel like a grand event that was private and exclusive for our guests.
The view of Pittsburgh from the LeMont provided the perfect backdrop for our perfect day. As I said, we felt on top of the world and we literally were on top of the city for the party! The value you receive for this venue is out of this world. I wouldn't have done anything differently!

The Le Mont did an extraordinary job for our wedding reception!! The gorgeous view of Pittsburgh took our guests breath away and so did their amazing service. Our families are both from out of town (NY & MD) so to be able to provide them with such a beautiful view of the city was perfect to showcase our new home. Our sit down dinner was flawless and delicious. All the staff members were incredible. My husband and I greeted our guests during dinner instead of doing a receiving line at the church, the staff at the Le Mont made sure that our dinners stayed warm by placing covers over our meals and checking in with us every now and then to make sure we had everything that we needed. I felt like we were cared for all night!
Bill and Tony helped get everything in order from day 1 of meeting with them down to centerpiece decorations and things we didn't even know what to do with! They were helpful in every way possible and are professional in their field. I never had to worry about a thing, they had everything covered! No question is a silly question either, anything I had a question or concern it was promptly answered or resolved. I would highly recommend The Le Mont for a wedding reception or any other affair for that matter!! You won't be sorry you did!

My husband and I just got married and the LeMont this past weekend, and we are still flying high! Everything was beautiful, well organized and so elegant!
Bill, Tony and the rest of the team at the LeMont are so professional and knowledgeable. Bill was very responsive and helpful throughout the planning process, which was such a blessing to a stressed out bride. He made it so easy and I never worried about having any sort of issue with the venue.
We had our ceremony and reception downstairs, and the staff was just amazing. Everything was set up perfectly and the tables were moved very quickly in between the ceremony and the reception. The view is gorgeous, the food is magnificent, and everyone really made us feel so special. The LeMont is also very accommodating--they made two meals gluten-free and they made BBQ sauce from scratch for our ring bearer! Again, they just made everyone feel special.
Guests continue to rave about what a beautiful wedding it was, and we have the LeMont to thank for that!

I set up an initial appointment at Le Mont about 18 months in advance for our Oct '14 wedding (second wedding for both me and my wife) and considered several other well respected and highly rated venues in Pittsburgh as well. After our initial meeting with Bill Laughlin, the Banquet Manager, I knew we were in very good hands. While I think all brides and grooms believe their unique requirements might be forgotten in the details, I will say that Bill inspired confidence in us that things would go precisely the way we wanted. On things we were unsure about he offered suggestions that allayed our concerns, sometimes it was just his comment to us "Don't worry I'll take care of that" that reassured us. We came to dinner there the next evening and after a few more questions and answers Bill had all of our paperwork prepared and we put the deposit down. Our next big planning event with LeMont was nearly a year later and that was the tasting which went extremely well...done personally for us, full sized portions of all the items we requested so we could see the meal size...very very nicely done. I had explained to Bill that a number of our guests would be restaurant and/or winery owners, and I wanted to feature the best items on the menu.
The wedding day approached and my soon-to-be-wife (who is local to Pittsburgh) did most of the coordinating and she commented how smoothly and perfect all the planning was going with Bill. In the day or two prior to the wedding we delivered all the items we needed to have there, and all vendors told us they too had a very easy time coordinating everything with the restaurant staff. The venue itself is truly one of the most amazing views you'll get in any city...perched atop Mt Washington overlooking the city and the stadiums. We had great weather for the afternoon and into the night.
We had our wedding ceremony and reception for about 100 guests in the larger banquet room and it all came off perfectly. Bill and Tony orchestrated all the timing for the entrances of the bridal party, cueing the DJ, and other musicians. The food was really excellent...how often do you hear that about a wedding? This is first and foremost a restaurant, and the food preparation seemed much more personalized and precise than what I've experienced elsewhere for large groups. The service was excellent throughout the night. We had high end wines and the top shelf bar, and the bar staff was great with my crowd. My friends from the restaurant and wine industry all remarked to me how much they enjoyed the meal.
At the end of the night there were no surprises in the final billing, and my wife and I felt we had the wedding of a lifetime. Bill, Tony, (and the owner Mr. Dunlap) made us and our guests truly feel like VIPs and we most definitely got our money's worth. Two and a half months later I can tell you that many of our guests have contacted us to say what a great wedding we had, and how much they enjoyed the food, the service, and the beautiful venue that reminded them of a gilded-age mansion.
I would highly recommend LeMont for a wedding (or any other gala) for anyone who is looking for a Pittsburgh venue. My sincere thanks go to Bill for all the flawless coordination over 18 months leading up the wedding, and to both Bill and Tony for outstanding execution on the wedding day. We plan to continue to come back for many more special occasion dinners!

I have only good things to say about LeMont! Bill and the whole staff were wonderful. Bill was completely accommodating to all my requests - literally every time I emailed him asking to do something a certain way, or changing a decision, he made it happen. We had both our wedding ceremony and reception in the upper room (divided in half with a wall), and we had both a DJ and band, so I was a bit worried about how everything would come together, but these guys really are pros at this. The wedding was seamless and stress-free. My favorite aspects of Lemont were 1) It is such a fun atmosphere with a stunning backdrop t
