The Art Room

ll around incredible experience. The venue speaks for itself and is absolutely stunning. It is so unique and intimate. The staff was the happiest bonus. We initially toured and worked with Kirsten. She has to be the most kind and patient human who fully embraced our quirks. We then worked with Bre, who is top tier. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything needed and then some on our special day. Her passion and energy did not go unnoticed. We did not expect to make new friends out of this experience, but the folks at The Art Room deliver. We shared so many laughs and cries, and we thank you for the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding journey so exceptional!

en we emailed the team at The Art Room, we got quick responses and they went above and beyond acting as a spot person throughout! Bre was our day of coordinator and was amazing the day off, and weeks leading up to our wedding. I really cannot say enough good things about this venue.

we had questions leading up to our wedding day they were so helpful and our event coordinator was super helpful in ironing out all the last minute details and everything. The event space itself was beautiful and the coordination with all the other vendors was top notch. We had about 80 people and the space was perfect for us. We also chose to leave the art up and besides the flowers that was all the decoration we felt was needed. The Art Room will always hold a very special place in our hearts.

about our vibe, she suggested we check out The Art Room. When I saw the pictures, I think my heart stopped. Truly this space is stunning, and so versatile. It is unlike any other venue around. But the best part about the experience is Kirsten. She is an absolute joy to work with, and I am not exaggerating. Kirsten helped us personalize our experience and no request was impossible or too big. Planning can be stressful , but Kirsten makes big goals manageable and achievable. I will genuinely miss our weekly emails and planning sessions. On our big day, Bre and Amanda (our boss bartender) were also amazing. I highly recommend The Art Room! You will not regret this decision. Erin and Michael 7.16.2022

- the event coordinator, Kirsten, went above and beyond to help us create and amazing wedding. She is a dream to work with. Kirsten was professional, communication was prompt, and she was so much fun. She was a problem solver when it came to any concerns we had and the event ran smoothly thanks to her hard work. Kirsten helped us create our dream wedding, and was flexible with changes. The Art Room itself is the perfect venue for a city lover - right in the heart of the Strip District. We were able to bring in our favorite vendors for all of our wedding needs. The Art Room rental fee provides you everything you'd need for a wedding: tables, linens, chairs & set up. You can also choose to bring in your own for a more personalized look. You can choose any caterer. If you choose to do a cookie table, that is also included. You do have to go with their own in-house bar packages, but we absolutely loved the service provided by The Art Room bartenders. They went above and beyond for our guests. We would highly recommend the space to anyone for a wonderful wedding. 5/5 would host at The Art Room again.

d an amazing job executing our special day. We planned our wedding from out of town so the amount of back and forth with emails and zoom was crazy. But Kristen did everything we asked for. Having our New Years Eve wedding at the Art Room was fantastic, the decor and tin ceilings made everything pop. Plus the view of downtown and the fireworks was exactly what we dreamed of. Also our guests were able to easily walk back to the multitude of nearby hotels. We chose to have the Art left up in one room and down and the other, it looked great. The different bays and levels makes the venue feel much bigger than it is. And gives people lots of room to spread out and relax or dance all night long. The Art Room would get 10 stars from us if that was possible,

my vibe. We found a place and then it fell threw so we scrambled to find something new. Ended up going with a museum that I didn't love and then March 2020 rolled around. Of course as the pandemic went on, we made the difficult decision to postpone our big celebration to November 2021. At that time, the venue we were at was offering a full refund due to Covid. I'm not kidding when I say the universe was on our side for finding the Art Room. Because of the ongoing uncertainty, we also decided to cut our guest list in half. With our new total, my event planner recommended stopping by the Art Room because it fit my vibe and now fit our guest count. Immediately after meeting Kirsten I knew this was the place I wanted to have our big celebration. It is THE coolest space in Pittsburgh. We kept it pretty simple because I loved the interior design and exposed brick. We got to use all our vendors, which I also loved! We had our rehearsal dinner at PA market... honestly, PA market and the Art Room staff become your family during this process. They are there for you every step of planning, they love you and they celebrate with you. I'm not kidding, I wish I could get married every year just to use this space and work with these amazing people. My advice to you - only invite your nearest and dearest and then book the Art Room. It's the best space in Pittsburgh with the BEST staff.

ore Covid-19 hit, we were displaced from our original venue on the North Side in the fall of 2019 and in a desperate scramble to find another venue to have our (originally scheduled) September 2020 wedding. We toured this space and immediately fell in love with everything about it that we booked right after we toured. It's a gorgeous industrial, modern vibe which is what we were going for. Almost every corner of this building is able to utilized which is great if you have a large guest count. They have bathrooms on both floors and the ability to have two bars, which is also helpful for a big count. When Covid-19 came in spring 2020, Kirsten was very responsive and in constant communication with us and our wedding planners. Just like most venues at that time, she was trying to help pivot and keep couples up to date with all information. Ultimately, we made the decision to postpone our wedding until November 2021. Kirsten helped keep our spirits up that in due time, we would have the wedding we envisioned and when we picked up back up with planning in spring 2021, she was right back with us. She makes the contract and all the details (chairs, spacing/seating, where bars should be, etc) very easy to understand and deal with. She was very helpful with picking our bar package for our reception too. The alcohol choices with the Art Room venue are the most impressive I've seen for a Pittsburgh wedding venue in a long time and their bartenders are excellent. We loved our signature cocktail. From rehearsal evening to the big day, this team was amazing. Kirsten worked with our planners to make sure all was taken care of and that our guests knew they could freely move around the venue. The servers took care of our guests during cocktail hour perfectly. We really didn't have to worry about organization and our vendors cause Kirsten and crew were on it all night. We even rented out the Wine Library at the PA Market (right down the street, they own this venue) and had our after party there. Kirsten made sure we were all set up with that and we highly recommend doing that if you have your wedding at the Art Room, so convenient and we were well taken care of at the PA Market too! This venue really can transform into a dream space for any wedding style. The Strip District has been revitalized and Smallman St., where the venue, is looks so great now too. And there is plenty of street parking and several public lots right near The Art Room, so no need to worry if you have guests driving to downtown. Our long awaited wedding day was really made perfect by the hard work of this venue staff. You need to book this hidden gem ASAP if your looking for a great Pittsburgh wedding venue.

de complete by the venue coordinator, Kirsten. She is INCREDIBLE. She's a true gem in the wedding community. Kirsten helped calm all of our anxieties about such a big day, with a steady and fun presence. She provided direction when needed and met all of our requests with ease. We lucked out by finding Kirsten, and we are so very thankful to have found her. Her presence on our big day created a seamless, joyful memory that we will always hold dear. Look into this venue for a great experience!
