Our Wedding

We met during the summer of 2021 as next door neighbors in the South Side of Pittsburgh. Now we love to spend our time with friends, being outdoors hiking or running, traveling and exploring new places, and cooking. Stephen proposed on November 9th, 2024 and it was a huge surprise! We are so excited for you to join us and celebrate our wedding day!

Venue Parking

Please note that our wedding venue, The Art Room, does not have its own parking lot. If you are planning to drive to the venue, there is paid street parking located all throughout the Strip District. Street parking is free after 6pm, but it can sometimes be tricky to find street parking in this area. There are also several paid lots and garages nearby. The parking lot we recommend is located at 1600 Spruce Wy, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, and is right across the street from our venue.

Getting Around

If you are staying in one of our reserved hotels, the wedding venue is just a short walk down Smallman Street. Ubers and Lyfts are common in the area, and are generally pretty affordable. Pittsburgh also has a bus system, and if you plan on using the buses to get around then just download the "PRT Ready2Ride" app. We also recommend downloading the "Go Mobile PGH" app, which can be used to pay for public city parking.

Hi everyone! As we get closer to the big day, we wanted to share a tradition that is near and dear to our city. In true Pittsburgh fashion, we will be hosting a Cookie Table at our reception! For those unfamiliar, the cookie table is a local tradition where family and friends contribute their favorite homemade treats for everyone to enjoy. If you have a signature recipe you’d love to share, we would be honored to include your cookies on the table. To make sure we have a good variety (and don't end up with 50 dozen chocolate chip cookies!), please reach out to Carlie or Stephen directly to let us know what you'd like to bake. A note for our out-of-town guests: We completely understand that many of you are flying in for the weekend and won’t be able to bake. Please don’t feel any pressure to contribute—your presence is the only gift we need! We can’t wait to celebrate (and snack) with you all soon! With love, Carlie &amp; Stephen

Carlie & Stephen
