The Inside Scoop
FROM THE KNOT EDITORS
The First Look
Just ten minutes from downtown Pittsburgh, the Shannopin Country Club is beautifully landscaped in a private setting that would be perfect for a couple’s wedding day. Whether they're looking for an outdoor wedding or an indoor reception, the property will not disappoint. Couples are welcome to invite up to 250 guests to help them celebrate their big day.
This space is both classy and beautiful with its gorgeous chandeliers that hang above elegantly decorated tables. There's a fireplace that serves as the focal point of the room and a dance floor for getting your bridal party moving and grooving.
The Great Lawn overlooks the pristine golf course and also supplies a view of the city skyline that’s utterly stunning when the sun sets. This location is ideal for an outdoor wedding ceremony, as well as a perfect spot for wedding photography.
The Shannopin Country Club features not one, but two outdoor patio areas. They are covered, which means couples can use them rain or shine. These are great spots for smaller, more intimate celebrations.

Not worth the drive
Reviewed on 3/24/2014 Elizabeth WTo start we did not end up choosing Shannopin as our venue for one main reason...Jacquie. I scheduled an appointment to meet with her after a few emails to see the venue and discuss different options. From the minute we arrived for our appointment she made us feel like we were... Read More wasting her time. She did not ask anything about we what we were looking for, our budget or anything. When we asked her questions the answers we got were short and not helpful...ex. Are any of your plated dinner options particularily popular? Answer: No, its about what the bride and groom want. Every other venue we visited could at least tell us some of their more popular items. She did bring any materials to the meeting such as a menu or pricing. We were there for less than 15 minutes and felt like we were being pushed out the door the entire time. Do not waste your time here.

When we walked into the ballroom for our introduction, we were blown away by how beautiful it looked (especially the mantle). The food was delicious, our guests continue to rave about it- we frequently hear it was the best food they've eaten at a wedding. Shannopin also offers an incredible view of the Pittsburgh skyline, which served as the perfect backdrop to our outdoor wedding.
