Everyone! If you're invited to the wedding, you're invited to the Welcome Party! Time during the wedding day will be limited, so to maximize as much time as possible with everyone, we'd love to have you join us at the Welcome Party.
Note: Olive or Twist only allows guests 21+ years old into the venue!
Is there childcare available on the Wedding Day?
Yes! We have the 3rd Floor Discovery Place reserved for kids. Food will be provided for the kids in this location (butter penne dinner w/ meatballs and side of fruit salad). We are aiming to limit this area to children 10 years old or younger. Please include the name/age of each child in your RSVP.
Childcare will be provided from 5PM to 11PM by Pittsburgh Event Childcare. There will be a minimum of 3 caregivers and each has been background checked and is trained in First Aid/CPR/AED. They can also provide updates on your child throughout the night, if requested. Below is a link to their Welcome Letter and feel free to explore their website or contact them or us directly for more info.

The wedding is on May 4th a.k.a. Star Wars Day... are we required to dress in Star Wars attire?
Nope! But you're certainly welcome to express your inner Star Wars nerd in any way you see fit!
I heard the Pittsburgh Marathon is happening the same weekend. How will that effect me?
We have blocks at two hotels, so try to get one of those ASAP. It may be difficult to find another hotel outside of the block. The 25th mile is run on Liberty Ave. right behind Heinz History Center, so you could go cheer the runners, if you're so inclined. Otherwise, we have no idea how it's going to effect you, plan for more time to get everywhere on Sunday morning, and godspeed.
What is the parking situation?
There are several lots and street parking near Heinz History Center. If you are staying at one of the hotel blocks, you are walking distance from the venue and can park at your hotel.
