Wow! If I could leave a 10 star review I would! We had the privilege of working with Brian to organize our reception. He gave us everything we could have asked for and more. He addressed all of our concerns, was quick to respond, and was very on top of everything! The reception went seamlessly and it was all to Brian and his team! To have a reception in a historic landmark in PGH meant so much to us and Brian and his team made it a dream come true for us!

We worked with Brian for my son's \"Post Destination Wedding Reception\". Best service you could ever want! He listened to my recommendations and also offered some suggestions. He made sure I stayed within my budget while providing us with such an impressive selection of food. When I emailed him with questions I received a response very promptly. It is so refreshing to deal with someone who is cooperative, pleasant and very knowledgeable. Hard to find these days! We started with light and heavy appetizers and a seafood section. Our meal was not sit-down but instead we had a mashed potato station, pasta station and carving station (his suggestions). The staff was wonderful all evening. Several of our guests commented on how nice they were to deal with. The night flew by. I was nervous about the typical things as the host of the event but had no doubts that Brian would make sure that their part would be up to my expectations and I was right. I highly recommend this venue for your special event!

We had our rehearsal dinner for our wedding at the Grand Concourse and WOW! It was a perfect way to start off our wedding weekend! Brian and his team went above and beyond on their service and attention to detail, not to mention that the food was excellent (I am still receiving compliments!!) If you are looking for a stunning and unique venue, this is your spot. The architecture and stained glass windows are unlike any in the city and with the venue being right on the Monongahela river, the views of downtown are spectacular. We would give an 11/10 stars if we could! Cannot compliment this venue and staff enough- you will not be disappointed to host your rehearsal dinner here. Thank you Brian!

Brian George helped us schedule everything for the reception at Grand Concourse. The service was top notch, Brian was very responsive with getting back to us with any questions we had, and had a wide array of services to choose from to ensure the party went perfectly. Very friendly and professional, with an elegant venue to boot. The food was terrific, and they also let us play our own music via their sound system. All in all, they were a big part on the day being memorable and enjoyable even though my husband and I plus the guests were all coming in from out of town.

Do not hesitate to book the Grand Concourse for your wedding reception! It's so beautiful that it basically decorates itself. But, beyond that, the staff is incredible - so friendly and helpful -- from the waitstaff, to the carver, to the donut maker, to the bartender. Brian, the events manager, worked with us to make our vision a reality -- to the point, where I felt comfortable enough to hand him my decorations and say - ok - just put these somewhere they'll look good. And boy, did they! The food is outstanding -- and they really worked with us to customize our menu and drink selections. Our guests are still talking about what an amazing night it was. Huge kudos to our Captain, Missy, who made sure we had food (it was a cocktail style reception) and that our glasses were never empty. Pickup the next day was seamless. I cannot recommend them enough!!

On June 1, 2019, Grand Concourse hosted our wedding reception and blew our expectations out of the water. Our group of 100 was treated to an elegant venue, delicious food and impeccable service. We chose GC after visiting 8 venues, some more expensive, some less because we knew we could count on the food and loved its uniqueness. It didn't take long to realize that beyond what we knew, we also received Brian. He is the GC's biggest asset. Accommodating, responsive, and knowledgeable he led a fine-tuned machine to near perfect execution on wedding night. Positive takeaways:We chose food off the lower tier of the wedding menu, and the portions were huge and it tasted just as good as it did during the trial run. We were able to amplify the beauty of the venue with an incredibly reasonable flower budget.The variety of table sizes and shapes made making a seating chart way easier than we imagined.The proximity to the Station Square Sheraton allowed us to avoid paying for transportation from the reception. The way the ballroom was set up made the GC feel as though we'd rented the entire place to ourselves and we hadn't. Major concern - avoided.Honestly, GC was the best decision we made through the wedding process. They were EASY. For us - the week of - with the vendors. Just easy. We didn't truly appreciate how important that was until everything else became difficult as the wedding came on. Everyone in attendance, including many from out of town, raved about the place. Absolutely no regrets. We'll be forever grateful to the Grand Concourse for hosting our stunning and flawless wedding.

The Grand Concourse was a wonderful venue for our wedding reception. Compared to other venues in the area, the pricing was AMAZING, it is in a great location (close to hotels for out of town guests,) close to downtown for great pictures and post-party celebration options, etc. The staff for the event were on top of EVERYTHING and checked in occasionally throughout the night to make sure everything was going as planned. The food is just second to none-- amazing-- great options to choose from for hors de 'ouvres and main dishes (vegan/vegetarian friendly, etc.) Not to mention the venue itself is GORGEOUS-- perfect for a vintage/art deco feel-- you barely need to decorate futher. (We had beautiful table settings, but we were able to keep them simple since the venue aesthetic does most of the work!) Simply said-- I couldn't recommend a better venue for a fantastic party/celebration.

My husband and I had our 200 person wedding reception at the Grand Concourse 9/8/18 and have had a number of guests since then tell us that this wedding was simply their favorite! A lot of this has to do with the beauty and uniqueness of this place. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but their food is exceptional. We knew that we wanted a place where it doesn’t look just like any other wedding and also where our guests would remember the food and they did! Brian, Scott, and the whole team worked very hard with us to make our vision come alive and it was perfect. They made sure that everything was to our liking and we even had our dance floor out on the patio, which was a huge hit and gave us more room inside. We highly recommend this venue if you are looking to stand out and not spend a fortune doing so.

He was so understanding and patient, answered almost all of my emails immediately even when they were oddball middle of the night questions. He truly wanted whatever would make our wedding day perfect for us. Any tweak I made to the menu, he made work. And the food was INCREDIBLE! The beauty of the grand concourse is a statement itself, but the staff doesn't just skate by. No detail was too small for them. I would not have changed one thing about my wedding venue!

My wife (now) and I were having a 'destination Pittsburgh' wedding and we immediately looked to the Grand Concourse for the WOW effect we both wanted. GC did not disappoint. We were fortunate to work with Dawn. Her patience and professionalism in the consulting that she provided was beautiful. All of our guests were amazed by the grandeur of the building itself, but the quality of food and service was welcomed just as much. Our captain, Steven, was attentive and eager to assist in every need, even those that might have been out of scope of the norm. In short, many of our guests proclaim our wedding as the most beautiful and best experience that they had ever been invited, which speaks in huge part to Dawn and her team of professionals. We couldn't be happier in our choice to host our wedding on the breathtaking stairs at Grand Concourse, as well as the quality of dining, service, and the attention to details. Oh and if given the opportunity, ALWAYS pop for the fresh doughnut machine!

We had our reception at the Grand Concourse and could not be happier with how everything turned out. First, as anyone who has ever been inside knows, the venue itself is absolutely beautiful and unique. This was one of our deciding factors, as we knew it wouldn't take much decoration or rentals to transform it from a restaurant to a wedding venue. From a practical standpoint, you will save yourself a lot of time and money as the linens, chairs, etc. are already provided and of good quality.Brian and Dawn were very pleasant and helpful during the planning process and especially in my frenzy in the days leading up to the event. We moved away from Pittsburgh six months before the wedding, and they were accommodating to me asking very detailed questions well in advance before the move. Additionally, most of my vendors have worked with the Grand Concourse team before and were also comfortable working with Brian.The set-up was absolutely beautiful. We had a French Quarter/Vintage inspired reception and everything actually ended up looking better than I imagined. Between the staff and the florist, we didn't have to worry about anything that day. I had a friend look things over prior to cocktail hour, and she basically said she didn't need to change anything. The tables looked classy and clean, and the cookie table set-up was amazing! By all means, have GC plate your cookies and GET THE DONUTS. You cannot go wrong with the donuts. Your guests will thank you.We had 165 guests, who fit comfortably in the main dining room. We also rented out the entire Gandy, which I highly recommend if that is within your budget. I think that played a role in guests staying till the end (along with the awesome DJ). It's a great space to mingle and was absolutely worth the extra money. We certainly didn't break the bank either; GC is a great value!

It's been a month and our friends and family are still talking about how much fun they had at our wedding!

We had our wedding there Halloween 2015. I have been in love with the Grand Concourse for years now, the environment is absolutely beautiful! The staff is fabulous to work with especially Brian! My Dad and now husband dropped off all of the decorations the day before and they told them where I wanted things but also gave them free range, of course they did a great job. Everyone is still talking about what a beautiful venue we had as well as how delicious the food was. I would and will continue to recommend everyone and anyone to have their wedding, party, shower, whatever it is to be held here. It is so elegant, warm, and inviting! I love it here! I can't wait to go back for our anniversary! :)

I had my wedding for 142 guests at the Grand Concourse on Saturday, June 27th 2015. It was an incredible experience. When I started looking for venues, I couldn't get over the generic look of the standard hotel ballrooms. I knew I wanted something unique where I wouldn't have to do much in the way of decorating. When we saw the Grand Concourse, I knew it would be our venue. It is so special, and for our wedding we had a lot of guests coming from out of town so I wanted to show them this beautiful, historic and unique part of Pittsburgh. \r\rMy guests raved about the atmosphere, the food, and the service. When I arrived with my bridal party, they had set up a private cocktail service for us on the 2nd floor where we had our own server (Susan). Susan was spectacular. She was so kind, accommodating and attentive. We ordered a few additional hors d'oeurves at the recommendation of the server who helped us during our tasting (dynamite scallops, lobster bisque shooters) and our guests loved them! \r\rThe entire staff was amazing. The servers and bar tenders took great care of my guests. From top to bottom and beginning to end the wedding was a fantastic experience. Brian George made the process of planning and preparing so pleasant and easy. He accommodated my every request and his calm, pleasant demeanor made me feel at ease. He quickly responded to all my emails and questions, and never made me feel like I was a bother. I am so grateful for everyone at the Grand Concourse who made my wedding day so perfect. I highly, highly recommend the Grand Concourse!

Everything about the Grand Concourse and how they handled our special day was perfect. The staff was beyond attentive to our needs and made everyone feel welcome. Brian was a great person to work with and he helped us with whatever we needed. There wasn't anything that could've been done differently or better. The venue speaks for itself and our guests had nothing but positive words to say about the evening they had. I hope others who use this venue have the same experience as I do and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a grand, vintage feeling for their special day!

My fiance and I looked high and low for a wedding venue in Pittsburgh that would have character, great food, and fit 165 guests (we ended up with 130 but we invited 165). Oh, and we had to be able to afford them. We could not have been luckier to have found The Grand Concourse. It fit all of our criteria and then some. Of course the food was amazing- the same high quality you get when you eat at the restaurant. The service was impeccable and they were always making sure we had everything we needed. Brian was so helpful in the planning process and was very accommodating to our ideas and needs. Our guests raved about how beautiful the wedding was and those who were from out of town were in awe of the beauty of the building. The price was great too. This is definitely a hidden gem of a venue in Pittsburgh!

The Grand Concourse Restaurant is the ideal venue for the bride who wants something unique and leave their guests with an indelible memory of your reception. The space itself is absolutely breathtaking and ideal for any size wedding. The sales manager, Brian George, is amazing and so easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. The food that was served during the cocktail hour along with dinner were simply “out of this world.” The service was absolutely top-notch! I cannot sing their praises enough – I wouldn’t have changed a single thing about our reception.

We had a very private, intimate wedding at the Grand Concourse and am SO glad we chose it as the venue. Brian is the event coordinator there, and he was great to work with. We had a small, private room near the piano(which was playing throughout our entire event!) and it was very elegant yet comfortable and relaxed. The food is great there, and they also arranged the cake delivery directly so I didn't have to worry about a thing on the day of the wedding. Another bonus of having your wedding here- the amazing interior of the restaurant is great for photos! Especially if you are worried about rain, there are plenty of great and unique spaces in the restaurant to take photos.\r\rThe price was reasonable for us compared to some other places we had looked. We ordered off the menu because we had a small number of guests, but we did pre-order a few bottles of wine and some appetizers, all of which were arranged prior to our arriving that evening. One thing nice about the venue is that they didn't seem to tack on little fees for everything like some other places tend to do for weddings.\r\rYou just can't beat the atmosphere here, plus the proximity to the Sheraton hotel for guests and the local scenery for photos. Overall, I highly recommend the Grand Concourse and staff!

Wow, where to begin with this venue. They were utterly spectacular!!! We truly felt like royalty and so did our guests. The Grand Concourse is so unique and opulent, and our guests were blown away by it, the service and the food. Janet, our event manager, was amazing!!! She went ABOVE AND BEYOND in every way. She guided us through the planning and made sure every detail was taken care with an end result of a reception night that flowed so perfectly well. It was an epic evening! (I will admit Brian, the manager, although nice was a little more vague with answers and follow through than you might want when planning such an event; however, Janet and the rest of the staff hit it out of the park!!! 5 stars are truly not sufficient for the perfect night they gave us.

The Grand Concourse is nothing but perfect. Our wedding was fantastic and a majority had to do with our reception venue. Working with Janet and Brian over the last year was nothing but a joy. Every time we went to visit they made us feel like we were the only wedding in the world and treated us like gold. Janet provided more of a family and friend feel rather then my vendor. This helped to make our event that much more perfect. This place was always a special place to go to dinner or brunch while I was growing up. It now is extremely special because of my wedding. We received tons of compliments for the appearance of the venue to the service and especially the food. Not one complaint!

With the outstanding reputation the Grand Concourse has I thought for sure it would be way out of my league for a wedding with a budget. But I was amazed and surprised at the willingness to work with me and my 60 person wedding. They didn't nickle and dime me for every little service. \r\rMy next issue was being able to plan this event from Colorado. Janet took my call or returned my call everytime! Answered every question and even gave me suggestions for things that other brides had done when using there facility. \r\rI can't say enough about Janet and her staff that worked my wedding. I provided them with an agenda/timeline for the days events and they followed it to a tee!! They consistantly asked me if everything was to my liking, if I needed anything, etc.\r\rMy now husband and I will enjoy visiting every time we are in Pittsburgh to visit family. And BTW, their Sunday brunch buffet is only rivaled by breakfast at DeLuca's in the Strip District. (You locals know where that is. :)
