My fiancé and I had such a positive experience with Mary the events coordinator at St. Nicks. This was our first vendor we toured and interviewed in person and we decided to cancel the rest. The staff and the venue at Saint Nicks went above and beyond. Mary was always communicative and attentive to our needs. She's also excited and passionate about making your event the best! Anytime I wanted to come look at the space and speak to Mary she was there. The venue provided flexibility for us to come decorate and drop off cookies Thursday and Friday prior to our event which eased our anxieties to make sure everything was organized to our expectations. Mary always made sure we felt heard and always stood by our side. The bartenders during the reception were great and friendly and the rest of the staff we met were absolutely wonderful. Saint nicks is adorable as well and you will not be disappointed!!! We had our reception in the crystal room as we only had 65 people. If we have another event in the future we will definitely be reusing saint nicks space! Can't recommend it enough!! Thank you Mary!

Stacie and her team at The Cathedral Room were FANTASTIC. I can't say enough wonderful things about Stacie. She was extremely communicative, ON TOP of everything, honest, organized. Everything that you would want. They are extremely flexible to your vision and have great recommendations to help get you there. Something that was super important to me and my husband was the ability for our older relatives to have easy access to parking and an elevator to avoid stairs - which was all possible at The Cathedral Room. We were able to get in a few days prior to get things set up which made for a stress-free wedding day. It was simply beautiful.

Alicia and JD, September 2019We had our wedding back in September at St Nick’s, and it was everything we could have hoped for. If you’re looking to be able to customize your wedding to be as inexpensive or as glamorous as you want, you can do it in the Cathedral Room. If you’re getting married at Heinz Chapel, the ease of having St Nick’s right there is unbeatable. It was really nice to not have to worry about our guests having parking for the ceremony, and it was easy for them to just walk over after. The real gem of having your reception at St Nick’s is their events coordinator, Stacie. My husband and I had a 2 year engagement, and Stacie never seemed to grow tired of us asking her questions, or having us stop by to see how another couple had set up their wedding so we could get some ideas. She had a lot of great feedback, and always let us know if she thought an idea wouldn’t work. Her staff is very professional, and she always had vendor recommendations to help guide us on what we wanted to do. The prices are very reasonable for a venue, especially the drink packages. Stacie allows you to make some changes here or there if you need to. Stacie couldn’t be there for our wedding day, but found a very capable fill in, so you can rest assured she even has a back up to fill in if something comes up! You need to at least visit with Stacie to see the venue, you won’t be disappointed Thank you, Stacie, and we’ll be sure to look for you at next year’s food festival!

Our experience working with St. Nicks and their amazing crew was absolutely phenomenal! They have great options for any sized gathering and the bonus of free parking. Our reception was just under 120 people in the Crystal room. Stacie was so incredible and had everything run perfectly smooth! She has a genuine passion for what she does and it shows. Anytime I began to have the pre-wedding worries about anything at all, she was already two steps ahead to calm me down! There was never anything hidden in our costs, the venue had every amenity needed , and the staff truly makes you feel like family. They really go above and beyond to make sure the event you have is a positive and memorable experience. I can not say enough wonderful things about this venue!

We had an overall great experience hosting our wedding reception at the Cathedral Room at St. Nicholas. We got married at Heinz Chapel and did not want our guests to pay for parking. Since the Cathedral Room was only a block away from Heinz Chapel and since they provide free parking it was the best fit for our needs. Another big factor as to why we chose the Cathedral Room at St. Nicholas was their event coordinator, Stacie. When we initially toured the venue and met her we immediately felt that we would be in good hands if we decided to host our reception there. She was excellent to work with! We really felt like she cared about the couples she works with and was always available to answer questions and provide her opinion on different things if we asked. A few months before our wedding there was an issue with parking at the venue. As any bride could imagine, such a big hiccup so close to the wedding made me immediately stress out! But Stacie quickly helped us to find a resolution and made us feel like she had our backs no matter what. Our guests had plenty of parking and there was not an issue at all. Stacie also put into place new policies that would prevent this same issue from happening to another couple. She is truly a huge asset for this vendor!! She was as involved as we wanted her throughout all the planning and was always quick to respond. Another great thing about hosting our reception here was that at the end of the night we did not have to clean up a thing! They gathered all our decorations after the guests left and placed them in a secure location for us to grab the next morning. It was so nice for our families not to have to worry about packing anything up. The only complaint I would have is the limited number of caterers they allow you to use. While it all worked out with the caterer that we used, we really wished we had a few more options. However, at the end of the day, we were very satisfied with our decision to have our wedding reception at the Cathedral Room at St. Nicholas. Thank you again, Stacie, for all your help!!

If you truly want to customize the experience your guests have at your wedding then St. Nick's is the venue for you. Stacie the wedding coordinator is one of the easiest people to work with and she will take much of the stress out of your planning. What we particularly enjoyed about having our wedding reception with St. Nick's was the ability to create a classy, but non-stuffy atmosphere that worked for every generation in attendance. We cannot thank the staff and team enough for all of their assistance in contributing to our beautiful day.

We absolutely loved our venue. We had 220 guests, and the space was big enough for lots of room to move around and a huge dance floor. By far the best part of the venue is the coordinator, Stacie de la Parra. From the time we toured the venue, we were convinced that she was more invested in our day going perfectly than we were! Every detail, vendor, decoration, and guest was taken care of by Stacie. We also loved the use of their Crystal Room for cocktail hour for our guests. That way, the dinner reception was a grand reveal to the guests. 110% recommend Cathedral Room at St. Nicks!

St. Nicks is such a versatile venue that let us create our wedding to be exactly what we dreamed. We looked at over 10 venues within the city and St Nicks was the clear choice. Where else will you find a beautiful space, free parking, affordable price, the nicest people to work with, and a ton of space to work with? I cannot express how much I recommend St Nicks for your wedding day. Go take a tour, it will not let you down.

Stacie and her team made our wedding day dreams come true! The reception venue was extremely affordable and convenient as our ceremony was held in the St. Nicholas Cathedral. This was also extremely convenient for our guests. They didn’t have to travel from one venue to another instead, they went down stairs for the cocktail hour before the reception began. The affordability of the venue allowed us to be more financially flexible with hiring a decorator. This flexibility allowed us create the venue we invissioned on our wedding day... a blank canvas (unlike all of the other venues we considered). Stacie was beyond flexible and patient with my now husband and I as we organizing our entire Pittsburgh wedding from Detroit. She answered her phone and promptly replied to my texts at all hours of the day, easing my worries or concerns as they came up. She was great event coordinator to have by my side every step of the way! And the venue was perfectly beautiful on our wedding day!

She ensures brides are on track to meet the rigorous timing a wedding demands, from booking vendors to planning details specific to each couple's wedding.

Stacie and the crew at St Nick's were just what we were looking for! We were aiming to have a large wedding with a somewhat limited budget, which meant a lot of diy and some non-traditional vendor options. Stacie was so flexible and willing to work with us and our vendors. We did a lot of our own decorating, including hanging our own lights and pennant banners across the hall, and Stacie generously accommodated us and the set up time that we needed. The hall and the church were beautiful, and allowed us plenty of space for 24 guest tables and a big dance floor. The set up and clean up crew were also very professional and helpful, as well as the bartending team!Other unique perks for this site:-Parking!!! Having our reception close to the University of Pittsburgh and St. Paul's Cathedral was important to us, and a huge parking lot to accommodate our guests, especially those not used to navigating city parking, was so helpful. -Set up and clean up was a breeze! Since they are primarily a church venue, St. Nick's allows for much more flexibility than a traditional wedding venue. We were able to drop off and store many decorations (and even cookies and cupcakes!) a few days before the wedding, and pick everything up the day after the wedding.-The foyer upstairs and downstairs lobby made a lovely, unusual space for our cocktail hour, and allowed for a more dramatic entrance into the Cathedral Room for dinner and the rest of the evening.-The lighting and acoustics of the hall were also great -- I loved that the big windows let in tons of soft, natural sunlight for our cocktail hour and dinner, and that we could dim the overhead lighting for dancing later on.-Great bar package options that work for every one -- we really wanted a full bar and one really great craft beer option, and we got it!-Friday wedding discount :)-Awesome bridal powder room and groom's room -- we wanted a place to crash and catch our breath in between our ceremony and reception, and adding the bridal suite to our package was the perfect way to do that! The St. Nick's staff even brought us appetizers and wine and beer while we relaxed in the room during the cocktail hour.

We had our October 14th wedding at the Cathedral Room. The facility is awesome, and there is so much space. We had 250 guests and still had the biggest dance floor I have ever seen. Stacie was such a pleasure to work with--very responsive, had great ideas that she shared with us, and just an all around wonderful person. Leading up to the wedding Stacie was extremely available and willing to answer my many questions that popped up. Because there was no wedding or event the night before our wedding, we were able to get into the venue and decorate on Thursday and Friday, which was such a relief since we did all of our decorations and stuff ourselves. It took a huge weight off my shoulders that we were able to be there Thursday and get most of the stuff done so that Friday we only had to do our flowers. Stacie was so helpful and did some of our day of decorations (put some single roses out for us so they could remain in the fridge til the last minute, etc.), and our wedding day went perfectly. The staff of St. Nick's are superstars. All of my guests raved about how wonderful the bartenders were, and I wholeheartedly agree. Also, the bar package is fantastic and flexible. They also are very good at making sure there is enough (our group was apparently drinking a TON of Corona, and they even sent someone out to buy more cases during the reception so that we would not run out).

We had our October 14th wedding at the Cathedral Room. The facility is awesome, and there is so much space. We had 250 guests and still had the biggest dance floor I have ever seen. Stacie was such a pleasure to work with--very responsive, had great ideas that she shared with us, and just an all around wonderful person. Leading up to the wedding Stacie was extremely available and willing to answer my many questions that popped up. Because there was no wedding or event the night before our wedding, we were able to get into the venue and decorate on Thursday and Friday, which was such a relief since we did all of our decorations and stuff ourselves. It took a huge weight off my shoulders that we were able to be there Thursday and get most of the stuff done so that Friday we only had to do our flowers. Stacie was so helpful and did some of our day of decorations (put some single roses out for us so they could remain in the fridge til the last minute, etc.), and our wedding day went perfectly. The staff of St. Nick's are superstars. All of my guests raved about how wonderful the bartenders were, and I wholeheartedly agree. Also, the bar package is fantastic and flexible. They also are very good at making sure there is enough (our group was apparently drinking a TON of Corona, and they even sent someone out to buy more cases during the reception so that we would not run out). Overall, I just love the facility and the people here. I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone.

My husband and I absolutely LOVED everything about the Cathedral room! The location, the people, the space it was all we could have ever dreamed of. We had our wedding of about 220 guests here in July and the Cathedral room was super spacious and comfortable for all of our guests and lots of dancing. Everyone who helped us prepare for the big day was amazing. Stacie would answer my questions at all hours of the day via text, and Vince the maintenance man also gets a little shout of for just being awesome and being so helpful! If we could start from the beginning and plan our wedding all over again- we would absolutely choose this venue over and over again!

This venue was perfect for our wedding reception!! The room is very big and acts as a blank canvas for you to decorate as you please. The wedding coordinator Stacie was great! She was always available if needed and was a great resource! The location is perfect if having your ceremony in Oakland. Overall, I would definitely recommend this venue!

AMAZING! I can't say enough about Stacie and her staff! Everything was perfect!!! She really made sure our day was magical. Stacie was like having a wedding planner without paying for one! I would text, email, and call her- she would respond immediately! She really enjoys what she does. The Cathedral Room was such a wonderful place to have the reception. It was beautiful and perfect! We got married at Heinz Chapel and we were able to have our guests use their parking lot so they would only have to walk one block! If I could give more stars, I would. Thanks Stacie!

We had a wonderful wedding day that ran smoothly. The new events coordinator did a fabulous job making sure I wasn't stressed out and was there for whatever I needed. I am very happy I picked the location. It was the perfect place for us in our price range and we were able to add personal touches without any issues. We had a lot of family and friends doing our cake, flowers, and other decorations so it was nice to be able to bring in outside vendors without worrying.

An elegant room with good staff, a good location, and ample parking. They told us that the room seats 300 so we were worried that it might be a bit large for our party of 150, but once we added the tables and the dance floor it was actually the perfect size. The staff was excellent at responding to our phone calls and emails (even after the event coordinator left 2 weeks before our wedding!). I was glad that we found a place that hired outside caterers (so we weren't restricted to one) but at the same time they had a good list for us to choose from with plenty of variety. Overall, I would highly recommend St Nick's!

Overall, I was very satisfied with St. Nick’s cathedral room. It is a large room, however without adequate decorations it is just a gym. The event coordinator was not very accessible the week of the wedding, but the cheap bar packages made up for it.

The Cathedral Room at St. Nicholas in Oakland was the most perfect venue my husband and I found for our reception! The Cathedral Room is very large and has beautiful hard wood floors! The walls are neutral colors so any wedding color scheme would go perfectly with the decor! Also, the event coordinator, Constance Zotis was extremely helpful and always cheerful when I would email her with questions leading up to our Big Day!!! If you book this venue, I guarantee that you will not be disappointed!!!

St. Nick's Cathedral Room is a great place to have a wedding reception! The Events Coordinator, Constance, is extremely helpful. The room is a blank canvas in which you can create any type of feel for your reception. One of the best things about the hall is that you are able to begin decorating days prior to the event instead of the morning of. I would highly recommend this venue!

We chose the Cathedral Room for our reception due to its proximity to our ceremony site. Though the wedding coordinator changed three times, our coordinator was flexible, easy to reach and responsive. She and her staff were fantastic, and we had a TON of creative freedom for decorations--and the bartenders were great, too! Great value--will recommend!

We chose to have a very small ceremony at Phipps Conservatory and then we had a large (200) reception at the Cathedral Room. It was a wonderful space for a reception! We rented the Atrium (upstairs) for cocktails/hors'douvres and then rented the Cathedral Room for the dinner reception. There is a bridal suite to freshen up, they do their own liquor (which is extremely affordable!), and you can pick from 4 caterers (we chose Folino's). They were wonderful to work with, they are flexible, do not have many 'rules' which allowed us to create the reception that we wanted. I highly recommend this site!
