I truly cannot recommend Wintergarden enough. The venue is absolutely beautiful (and photographed amazingly) and the food was way beyond what we were expecting - we’re still getting compliments on it. Shauna, Emily and Tiffany are amazing. Shauna was one step ahead of me the entire wedding planning process and Emily and Tiffany made sure the entire day went off without a hitch. I didn’t have a wedding planner or day of coordinator, and I was still able to fully enjoy my day and not worry about anything because they managed to stay on top of everything the entire day. They were also just unbelievably nice and friendly, and really fun to work with. So grateful to the Wintergarden team!! Reviewed on 17-01-2024

The perfect aesthetic + utmost professionalism and organization. When I walked into Wintergarden to tour the venue, I immediately fell in love and felt that it was \"the one\" based on looks alone. Now, post-wedding, I recognize that not only is it a beautiful venue, but the total package. The food is all in-house and was honestly incredible. I don't ever expect wedding food to be anything to write home about, but Wintergarden really commits to making exceptional meals and we heard this as feedback from guests as well. The team at Wintergarden, featuring the incredible Shauna, is incredibly responsive. In the two YEARS leading up to my wedding, there wasn't an email or message that Shauna didn't answer promptly, and quite honestly it was often within the same hour. It seemed that the notes from old conversations or planning meetings were always maintained and organized - I never had to send repeat requests or make corrections. We worked with Shauna and our planner, Madeline Kelly, to build our layout and wedding timeline, and Wintergarden was extremely amenable to accommodating our preferences and requests. I think the beauty of this venue really speaks for itself and is worth booking. But knowing the food, the team, and the all around experience is all equally as exceptional as the space makes Wintergarden truly a uniquely special find. I whole heartedly recommend it to all!

We recently had the pleasure of working with the excellent team at the Wintergarden for my daughter's wedding reception. Shauna, Emily, Tiffany and Chef Josh were absolutely incredible in every aspect. The venue setup is perfect. The food was amazing, with guests raving to me about the quality and how the staff was able to serve 175 guests so quickly and efficiently. The genuine care and warmth that the staff exhibited made the entire experience even more memorable. I can't say enough about the Wintergarden!

We were fortunate to have the opportunity to host our wedding reception at The Wintergarden, and couldn’t be more thankful we did. Aesthetically, the venue was exactly what we pictured for an elegant wedding reception in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh. The staff at The Wintergarden, led by Shauna, provided first class service from our first meeting through the final song at the reception, making concerted effort to deliver exactly what we had in mind. The food was the best we’ve had at any wedding reception and has been a frequent topic of discussion with our guests in the days since the wedding.Planning a wedding certainly brings stress, but choosing The Wintergarden was a major blessing in mitigating that stress and allowing us to have the perfect night with our friends and family. We could never imagine having our reception anywhere else and would strongly recommend anyone looking for a venue in the Pittsburgh area to choose The Wintergarden. Reviewed on 22-11-2023

Wow... where to start! First of all, what an absolutely stunning venue. This place looks incredible any time of the year. Second, the service was top notch. Shauna, Tiffany, and Emily were responsive, hardworking, and dedicated to make our day perfect. Third, the FOOD. Our guests told us that it was the best wedding food they had ever had, and I would have to concur! The Vegetable Bolognese is under-rated, it was delicious. From start to finish, the planning process was seamless and easy. I cannot thank the staff at the Wintergarden enough for making our wedding dreams come true!

Our wedding at Wintergarden exceeded our expectations. Everything went so smoothly and it was just so absolutely beautiful. Shauna and her team were so wonderful to work with and we loved how easy they made the planning process for us! I also cannot say enough good things about Emily and Tiffany. We felt so taken care of and so stress-free the day of and through the entire wedding. They were so wonderful to us and I cannot thank them enough. Moving on to food. I remember the tasting being incredible but it’s like it was 1000 times better on wedding day. Everything was so delicious and the presentation was gorgeous. Everyone there raved about the food. I might be slightly biased but the food was the best wedding food I’ve ever had. All my compliments to Chef Josh. The service staff was amazing. The way the food came out and was taken to each table by a line of servers was so organized and honestly amazing to watch from our sweetheart table. No one waited long for their food and all the food came out warm and delicious. The bartenders were absolutely incredible. The drinks were amazing. My signature drink, the cucumber gimlet, was probably the best cucumber gimlet I’ve ever had. The bartenders were all so kind to our guests and everyone loved them and the drinks they served. All in all this experience was impeccable. I was so stress-free day of knowing that every little detail was covered by the team at Wintergarden and the vendors they recommended to me. They made our big day so special. The whole day was perfect and that is hugely due to Shauna, Emily, Tiffany, Chef Josh, and the service staff at Wintergarden. So, thank you!! Reviewed on 30-10-2023

The Wintergarden is simply amazing. From the food, the team, the gorgeous space - the list could go on and on. Shauna was always so responsive and helpful when questions came up. She made the entire process feel so seamless. Tiffany, Emily, and Chef have the day of execution down to a system. People were raving about the apps/entrees, dinner was served so quickly, and we did an added on charcuterie which was a beautiful display and big hit with the guests. I especially enjoyed that as the bride and groom we had a designated server who made sure we had food and drinks at all times. The Wintergarden was the only venue that we toured, but we knew from the moment that we walked into the space and met with Shauna that it was the one. The space just speaks for itself - even with some rain on our wedding day it lit up so beautifully. I am so happy with our decision and we are so thankful to have worked with such a wonderful team!

I cannot recommend PPG Wintergarden enough!!!The space itself is STUNNING and it was worth every penny to have our wedding here. We were able to save money on flowers because there’s so much natural beauty at Wintergarden. You can’t help but smile and be overjoyed when you walk into this space. The staff was SO friendly, professional, patient, and went above and beyond between the planning and the actual wedding night. They took care of all the little and big details, and we trusted them with everything! Communication throughout the process from scheduling a venue tour, to our tasting, and through the big night was always quick and clear (especially as we planned this wedding from out of town). We never had worries about anything while working with Shauna. We also worked with Tiffany and Emily who were incredible! Maggie was one of the servers working on our wedding night and she made sure we were always taken care of!!Chef Josh made the best wedding food ever and was very accommodating with our long list of allergies. At the end of the night they made sure we had everything we brought with us. We were having way too much fun all night to be responsible for packing everything, so we are forever grateful to the staff who took care of this. Reviewed on 06-09-2023

If you are looking to get married in Pittsburgh, look no further, you have found the venue and team of your dreams. Not only is the Wintergarden a stunning venue in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh, but Shauna is one of the most wonderful people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She is organized, honest, kind, and full of amazing ideas and suggestions. She is so accommodating and made our wedding day absolutely flawless. The venue is so convenient, you do not need to think about and organize a million different vendors. Now to the food - Chef Josh is an absolute genius. I got married almost three weeks ago, and I still have friends and family texting me that they are thinking about the food from our wedding. From the passed hors d'oeuvres to the salad to dinner, every single aspect of the meal was delicious. Emily and Tiffany were the two who were on-site for the entire day of our wedding (and many meetings leading up to it), and these women are FABULOUS. Not only were they they best hype-women and made me feel like a princess all night, they helped every second of our wedding flow so perfectly. We cannot thank PPG Wintergarden, Shauna, Chef Josh, Emily and Tiffany enough. The wedding of my dreams came together perfectly without a single flaw. One thing I will note - I almost did not choose Wintergarden because I was not thrilled about guests sitting at their tables for the ceremony, but I actually ended up loving it that way. Every single one of my guests could see every moment of our ceremony because of it. We all know we have been to weddings where you cannot see the bride or the groom - not an issue at all here! And beyond that, Shauna ended up crafting a way for brides to set up the ceremony in a classic way if desired. Again - stop looking, this is where you need to have your wedding!

The space is absolutely beautiful and the staff is amazing.All of the food including cocktail hour apps and dinner entrees were amazing and were served HOT (unlike many other weddings) which was a huge thing for me. There is nothing worse than lukewarm food.There are so many hotels close by that guests can easily walk to post-reception. Shauna is so helpful and extremely quick at responding via email.

We booked Wintergarden without touring any other facilities. It was the PERFECT choice for our wedding. It had the vibes we were looking for and had some many items for us to use towards our design (linens, chargers, silverware, chairs etc).

I am a type A+++ bride which means I can be a little controlling and like to be involved in absolutely everything in the planning process, but I truly felt like I could trust everyone to execute and get the job done. Without Shuana the day really would not have been possible, she is so professional and ON TOP OF IT. PPG Wintergarden is extremely lucky to have her good talent is hard to come by and she is absolutely above and beyond!! To Chef Josh- the food was incredible. Here’s some feedback from the guests: 1. By far the best wedding meal they’ve ever had 2. The portion sizes were extremely generous - everyone was FULL which doesn't happen often at weddings 3. The people that got the veggie pasta were raving about how flavorful it was 4. Appetizers were 11/10 everything was cooked to perfection You seriously did one hell of a job! Thank you so much for all your hard work! Hats off to you and your team! Tiffany, Caitlin and Maggie- When I walked into that reception venue I was totally blown away. Everything looked absolutely perfect. As mentioned above I have such a hard time delegating tasks and trusting people to execute, but you all handled everything flawlessly. I’m SO glad you all were there to keep us on schedule and everything moving forward. Also, you all made the cleanup process SO easy. I was so worried about getting everything packed up and put away at the end of the night, but when I took a second to look around everything was already done. Thank you all for handling it and making my life so easy. So glad you all were there! Overall feedback 10/10 reception venue everyone was blown away by the space. I was worried I didn’t do enough in terms of decor and flowers, but the venue really speaks for itself there really aren’t a ton of extras needed. Im also so glad we didn’t do cake because I don’t think there was ever a moment when the dance floor wasn’t bumping. I don’t think anyone would’ve eaten it. Anyway, I had the freakin time of my life and all the guests were telling us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to (probably just being polite, but I’ll take it). Appreciate you all so much!!! Would’ve have been able to get through the day without everyone coordinating and working together. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! PPG Wintergarden blew it out of the water!!

As a bride navigating the wedding process through a pandemic, I found a picture of calm with Shauna and her team. They were fantastic and went above and beyond from the very minute we looked at the venue! The PPG building has been iconic for me since I was little girl. I fell in the love with the beauty of the building and the renovations that turned the space into a wedding venue have been truly amazing. I was able to host a cocktail hour in the lobby area with a live jazz band for guests. A huge movable greenery wall was a new addition that the Wintergarden provided to separate both areas when once the reception started. The bridal suite offered a separate space for me and the wedding party. Shauna and her team moved things around a million times to give me the exact vision I dream of when guests entered. They ensured everything was perfect and created a place for everything I wanted, including extending our cookie table, setting up an area to serve our favorite donuts and having Chick-fil-A deliver late night sandwiches. Shauna and the head chef worked with us to create a menu offering of Filet Mignon and Crab Cakes to serve to our guests. Every meal was cooked perfectly for the 240+ guests we hosted. I cannot emphasize enough the number of compliments we received and continue to receive on our wedding. It was extremely elegant and everything went so smoothly thanks to Shauna’s detailed timeline which she created down to the minute! Shauna is hands down the best coordinator. She was ALWAYS readily available, prompt, professional and just an absolute dream to work with. She met with our families multiple times prior to the wedding day and simply took care of every detail.

From the in house amenities, including outstanding food and service, to the some of the nicest people you could work with, this is hands down the “it” place! Reviewed on 29-10-2021
Julia W.(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-09-2021 I don't even know where to begin... our day was absolutely perfect and even more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. Shauna and her team did the world's most incredible job. From answering my never-ending deluge of questions so promptly, to coordinating with each of our vendors to navigate deliveries around the **September** Saint Patrick's Day parade, to the room flip and setting up our flowers and decorations, to the food, bar, cookie table, and cake service... so many of our guests raved about how flawless the execution was, and how each and every detail was exquisite. My husband and I agreed. We could not be more pleased and amazed with how it all went. It really was the best day of our lives, and that is in enormous part to Shauna and the entire Wintergarden team. Reviewed on 16-10-2021
Alysia Libby(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-10-2021 Wow. We were blown away by our wedding at PPG Wintergarden. We had both our ceremony and reception at the Wintergarden. Everything was perfect: the food, the service, the bridal suite… everything. Shauna is responsive and beyond helpful. We can’t say enough positive things about this venue. Book it. You won’t regret it. Reviewed on 12-10-2021
Jessica Booth(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-09-2021 I may be biased but I had the BEST WEDDING EVER at the Wintergarden! Shauna, Emily, Tiffany and Chef Josh were all 5 stars in our eyes! The venue itself is breathtaking. Shauna and her coordinators are highly organized and got everything perfect! Chef Josh's food is beyond delicious. Our guest still comment that they have never had a better meal at a wedding. We had a Sunday afternoon wedding, during a Steeler game and there was no traffic and ample parking. I would highly recommend!! Reviewed on 12-10-2021
Lynn Sakanich(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-09-2021 As the MOB, I just want to say that the Wintergarden at PPG Place is a beautiful place to host a wedding. Our Saturday evening event was flawless. The food (salad, short ribs, fish and chicken) was delicious. The short ribs were so tender! Tiffany orchestrated her fellow servers to each table in perfect harmony. The bartenders were attentive and professional. The venue itself is spacious and beautiful. The bridal party had a private separate room. Bathroom was large (with numerous stalls) and always clean! If you parked in the PPG Place parking garage (down 3rd avenue on the left) there are specific elevators named \"Wintergarden at PPG Place\" which take you into the lobby. Special thanks to Shauna for assisting my daughter and son-in-law in planning their special day. She spoke kindly of you often! Reviewed on 27-09-2021
Dedra Totin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-09-2021 My husband and I rescheduled our wedding three times, and needless to say, we were really stressed by the whole process. Shauna in particular relieved so much anxiety and was so quick to answer our million questions and helped navigate so many things!! The venue itself was absolutely jaw dropping GORGEOUS!! Especially at night!! If you're questioning getting married here, I recommend going for it!! It was the most perfect night ever! And the photos in and around market square are beautiful, and you don't need to travel far for the perfect shots! Reviewed on 16-09-2021
Paige Erwin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-08-2021 We held our wedding reception at the Wintergarden on 08/28/21. We were originally supposed to get married the year prior, but changed our plans due to Covid. However, even with the stress of moving the wedding, we had the most AMAZING experience planning and celebrating at the Wintergarden. First of all, Shauna is an absolute rock star -- so personable, friendly, organized, and attentive. Every question, concern, or idea I had, she was quick to respond to. For our actual wedding day, we worked with Mike and Emily to help coordinate the day. They were also fantastic and made sure everything ran smoothly. The venue itself is stunning, and so different from anywhere else in the city. From the checkered floor, to the surrounding glass walls, backlit with city lights, the space is elegant, clean, and exactly what I had envisioned for my wedding reception. Let me also mention the food is DELICIOUS. Our guests went on and on about how much they enjoyed their meals. Choosing the Wintergarden for our wedding reception was one of the best decisions we made, and I cannot recommend it enough. Reviewed on 11-09-2021
Jacob Savitz(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-09-2021 Best venue in and around the Pittsburgh area, and it honestly isn't really close. The elegance and beauty of the space is unmatched. You walk in and you know this is the nicest spot in Pittsburgh. My wife and I looked at over 300 venues and Wintergarden is in a different league of its own. If you truly want to have the wedding of your dreams, pick this venue. The staff is great! Shauna, the wedding coordinator, is outstanding. Very organized, very communicative, and willing to work you. You would not know this is relatively a new wedding venue for how professional the staff is. My groomsmen broke a button 30 minutes before the ceremony. I went over to Emily, the day of coordinator, and she got it fixed within minutes. Chef Josh was awesome. The food was so good all around. They allowed us to be creative with the space and allowed me to have my good friend, Cole Bradley, who is a country music star in Nashville, to sing a song me and him co-wrote. If you go to the Wintergarden in your search, you won't even want to look at anything else because it is that much better then the rest! Reviewed on 08-09-2021
Angie Sciulli(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-08-2021 We worked with Shauna while planning our wedding at the Wintergarden and had a wonderful experience.

Working with Shauna from original planning to multiple reschedules due to covid she was phenomenal!! She promptly responded to emails at all hours of the day and was so efficient in making out day an absolute dream. We were fortunate to have Emily and Mike work with us the day of the wedding and they helped in SO many ways, even helping where other vendors fell short. Multiple guests commented on how good the food and apps were & the quickness of the bar, saying they were never waiting. Several guests also complimented the day of staff saying they were knowledgeable, professional, and accommodating. Thank you all around for an absolutely outstanding experience!!!

My husband and I couldn’t ask for more from a venue. Reviewed on 09-08-2021
Kelly Gallagher(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-07-2021 We're biased, but there isn't a better wedding venue in downtown Pittsburgh. The venue coordinator, Shauna, was the absolute best to work with and was incredibly helpful throughout our entire planning process (we were a postponed pandemic wedding so there was quite a lot of planning and replanning). The food catered through the venue is top-notch - Chef even created a vegan option for myself and others with dietary restrictions. The space is spectacular and only increases in beauty as the evening goes on. Seriously, when the sun goes down and the lights and candlelight reflect off the glass, it's something else. It was the absolute perfect venue for our perfect day <3 Reviewed on 03-08-2021
Elaine Oestreich(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-07-2021 We hosted our wedding ceremony & reception at the Wintergarden. Shauna & the whole Wintergarden team were amazing to work with, from the start (back before COVID!) all the way through multiple reschedules and changes. It was so comforting to know the venue was willing to work with us, and was the one stable part of our wedding planning!The venue was beautiful - during the daylight for our ceremony, and as the night progressed the space transformed into a beautiful setting with the lighted trees & ceiling lighting. The food was AMAZING - so many of our guests commented on it, which is not typical for a wedding! Shauna & Emily stayed close to the details as we planned (and re-planned) our day, and I could rest assured everything would go as planned on the day of, with no stress. Would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, iconic Pittsburgh setting for a ceremony & reception. Reviewed on 29-07-2021
Jennifer Murray(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-07-2021 Where do I even begin? From the very beginning, Shauna made us feel like an old friend. We toured a few venues afterwards, and always compared them to Shauna. From there- the entire team who ended up working our wedding- Mike, Emily, the entire wait staff, bartenders, and kitchen staff. Accommodating, kind, patient, and professional for the entire night. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for making our day such a PERFECT occasion for us and our family/friends.Before I go any further-- what we all care about: FOOD. Holy cow. I legitimately feel like I ate a dinner at Casbah or some other fancy restaurant. It was not your typical wedding food. I mean, our guests raved about it the entire night. I am honestly curious if the chef there would start doing takeout because I am going to dream about the sea bass and short rib for the rest of my life. I could have eaten the appetizers for the entire night. Mike if you read this- Shauna probably has my address somewhere, please send me the meatballs for Christmas.Leading up to the event, we communicated mainly with Shauna. Every question, concerned, inquiry was answered within 10 minutes via email. If she didn't know the answer she got back to you within the day. I didn't even really consider hiring a day of coordinator because Shauna was so reassuring.Our setup was impeccable- gorgeous. Honestly breathtaking. Emily and her staff was able to lead the tear down and had everything boxed up and packed away within 20 minutes of the reception ending. There was no stress on my end. They let me enjoy the entire time and had everything coordinated for my family to pack it up from there. The coordination with our other vendors (DJ, florist and photobooth) was taken care of completely. I was not bothered with anything- Shauna or Emily handled it all. Our DJ ended up asking to come in and see the place beforehand because he had never played there before and they were fine with it. All handled between the Wintergarden and vendors. As for the vibe- if you are looking for a downtown vibe, this, in my opinion, cannot be beat. We toured the typical ones (Pennsylvanian, Heinz History) and nothing against them they are beautiful-- this was just the whole package. Again, no other coordinator made us feel like real friends like Shauna. More than that, though, the venue fee includes linens, gorgeous glass charger plates, tables, chairs, glassware, silverware. You don't have to worry about any extra rentals/vendors/tedious stuff. It all comes with the venue fee (which compared to other downtown venues, was way more affordable). We were a Friday wedding, and they let us drop everything off the day before which was so helpful for my stress level to just have that checked off the list. I don't know that this could be done for a Saturday, but something to think about! There are multiple hotels within walking distance which makes it easy for your guests. We also couldn't find hotels with bars open late night because of Covid hours, so we ended up walking over to City Works and they accommodated a LOT of people who came until like 2am. The only thing I would change about the night is not asking Emily if we could throw down our credit card to extend the bar another 3 hours. It was the best night of our lives in the most breathtaking venue in the city. Reviewed on 20-07-2021
Jenna Boron(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-07-2021 Where to start!! I got married here on Saturday and I have absolutely nothing but fabulous things to say. From start to finish, our experience has been 10/10. For starters, the venue is (obviously) so STUNNING. It didn’t need a lot as far as decorations go. The food was phenomenal at the tasting and even better on our actual wedding day. Not sure how that is possible but it was! All of our guests have been raving saying it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had + portions were so generous!! We chose the short ribs, striped bass, and chicken. Bar service was also great! Shauna, the venue’s coordinator, was friendly, prompt, organized, and thorough with all forms of communication and planning. Which, I will say…. was not always the case in some organizations during the pandemic but she did not fall short!! She went above and beyond for us and helped with so many things even outside of her job title! Shauna: you are THE BEST! The other staff members (Mike + so many others) who helped on our actual wedding day made the evening run seamlessly. It was truly the perfect reception and we are over the moon about how everything played out! Reviewed on 15-07-2021

Once I saw the space I feel in love with it and knew this was where I wanted to get married. We did our ceremony and reception here, which was amazing so your guests did not have to change locations and could immediately go into cocktail hour. We worked with Shauna who was so helpful through the entire process and always made sure to check in, especially when Covid was an issue. Her and her team did amazing work decorating the venue and service was spectacular. The venue also has a bridal suite which was a nice feature so you can keep you and your wedding parties items in the room. This venue is so unique and beautiful you can make any wedding vision come true.

Shauna, the venue coordinator, kept us updated and upbeat throughout all of the Covid craziness, and we were so lucky to have our wedding after most restrictions were lifted. Wintergarden made everything we wanted happen, from letting us drink champagne throughout our ceremony, to letting us bring in late-night primantis (and they fully planned on letting us bring in a slurpee machine for alcoholic slurpees for our first wedding which was planned for 7/11/20 ;) ). We, along with our guests, raved all night about the amazing food (not all wedding food is created equal and this is top notch! Hint to all future couples: everything’s so amazing, but the risotto stole the show!), the beautiful all-glass venue, and the attendants’ amazing attitudes and helpfulness. Every single person on staff stopped me throughout to tell me nice things about the wedding, my dress, the guests, etc. The alcohol offerings are sooo much more plentiful than every other venue we looked at and the guests loved that as well. With all of our frustrations about COVID, we are so happy we postponed and we’re still able to have the wedding and reception of our dreams :) Thank you so much, Wintergarden at PPG! Book this place!
