We chose to keep our wedding slightly non-traditional, simple and small, only including our closest family and friends. We will be having a courthouse ceremony followed by a formal dinner party. We hope you can join us!
Where do I park?
Valet parking at the Omni William Penn is the best and easiest option; however, you may also self-park at the Mellon Square Garage which is located directly across from the hotel. You will enter the garage from Sixth Avenue.
How will I get around?
The hotel, courthouse, and restaurant are all within a very short walking distance of each other (five minutes or less). Once you arrive in Pittsburgh and park at the hotel before the ceremony, you will not need a car for the rest of your stay. A walking map of venues will be provided to eliminate any confusion.
What is the dress code?
We would love to see everyone get dressed up for our big day! Dress to celebrate in your best cocktail or formal attire. Midi or floor length dresses and suits are appropriate. Please no jeans, denim, or sneakers.
Can I bring a guest/date?
Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. Thank you for understanding!
Can my children attend?
We chose to make our special day adults-only. We hope you can understand and use our wedding as an opportunity for a weekend away! Cheers!
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
The Allegheny County Courthouse is less than a five minute walk from the William Penn Hotel. We recommend leaving the hotel no later than 3:30. All guests will be required to pass through a security checkpoint when arriving at courthouse, so please keep that in mind and allow yourself a few extra minutes for security.
WHAT TIME CAN I CHECK IN TO THE HOTEL?
The hotel's standard check-in time is 3:00. We realize this is somewhat of a tight timeline to check in, get dressed, and leave for the ceremony by 3:30. If you wish, you may add on a guaranteed early check-in (12:00 noon) at the time of booking. As an option, family members will have extra room in various suites if you wish to start getting ready before your room becomes available.
