We co-hosted a wedding reception for our son and his fiancée at Pittsburgh’s Grand Hall for 130 guests in May 2021, many of whom also stayed at the Hall’s adjoining Priory Hotel. The event and weekend could not have been nicer. The cocktail hour and reception took advantage of the beautiful Grand Hall and the outdoor courtyard and gardens which were wonderful. The quality and presentation of the sit-down dinner, appetizers during the cocktail hour and the Priory Bakery’s wedding cake were amazing and professionalism of the service team were top rate. In addition, Grand Hall’s acoustics, lighting and other features, in addition to the outdoor courtyard, makes it a truly spectacular venue that we would highly recommend for weddings or even smaller or less formal events.We also found the historic and recently renovated Priory Hotel to be comfortable and the staff to be very professional and accommodating. With direct access from the hotel to the courtyard and Grand Hall, it provided a nice continuum of spaces for pre-ceremony, reception and post-reception enjoyment by our guests. As most of our local wedding guests had not previously stayed at the Priory Hotel, there was unanimous feedback remarking how nice it was as a “little known gem” as several guests put it.As for contracting and event planning, Courtney and the owners were extremely helpful and accommodating. Our date had to be moved from November 2020 due to the pandemic and with all the uncertainty around government restrictions, how many people would be attending, impacts to the organization’s workforce, etc., we needed some flexibility and the Priory stepped-up and worked with us. Never did we feel contractually concerned and the owners and management maintained full transparency over the entire period leading up to the wedding. While they were very professional, they also maintained a sense of humor through the tough times of the pandemic and strived to make sure that the bride and groom (and parents) and guests had a truly memorable day and weekend --- and we did. Special thanks to Courtney and the entire Pittsburgh’s Grand Hall and Priory Hotel team!

Spectacular one of a kind venue for weddings and special events. A WOW place. Their chefs, bakery and service staff rock. Family owned and operated too.

We had our wedding at The Grandhall at the Priory on 10/27/17. What an excellent experience. Courtney is so great to work with. She was such a big help through the whole planning process. Susy was our go to person the day of the rehearsal and wedding and made our days go so smoothly!!! The food and cake were delicious and the servers were the best!

Excellent space for an event. The acoustics were amazing. Very well maintained and very organized.

Has an outside court area. Inside has a small to medium dance floor and a bar area.

Went to a wedding there, what a waste of money. All the filets at our table were cooked inconsistently ranging from rare to well. The dessert table was a dirty white table cloth, wrinkled with some tacky xmas lights under it. Carpet was disgusting and dirty with lights on...good thing they kept them dim. Looks like it was maintained by a bunch of hillbillies, just paint on top of paint and nothing properly restored since it was built. Food was average at best. Lady running the hall was not very pleasant. Just unbeleivable what they charge....truly a shame to see what they do to a historic landmark. So sad to see no money going back into the place. They sbould be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves.

Went to an event here . Amazing venue, beautiful layout and architecture as well as general decor and painting choices.

The monthly wine tastings are fabulous!
