Sitting on the junction of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers, The City of Steel is home to more bridges than any other city in the world. In a place with such a rich history and culture, couples will find a variety of wedding venues to suit diverse styles and tastes.
Known for being a hub of art and culture, Pittsburgh has many museums and theaters. Couples who like the idea of old-world charm and red-brick backdrops for their big day might choose one of those more historic venues. For nature lovers, plenty of conservatory and botanical garden venues are available in the area. Couples can exchange vows against a stunning backdrop of lush greenery and colorful flowers and dance the day away in a bright, airy space.
The music scene in Pittsburgh is very diverse and vibrant. Whether you're into rock, rap, folk, pop, jazz, or something else, you can find live music here that will make you groove. The city is also famous for its infrastructure like incline cable railways, tunnels, and staircases. Out-of-town guests can wander through the city and marvel at the unique architecture.
The best months for a wedding in Pittsburgh are May, June, and September due to the temperate weather. For a more budget-friendly off-season option, the city also makes an ideal location for a dreamy winter wedding.
A certified wedding officiant or a non-denominational interfaith or secular minister can officiate your wedding ceremony. If you have a friend or family member ordained by a recognized organization, they can also perform the ceremony once they register with Allegheny County Marriage License Bureau.
Complete a marriage license application online or in person at the Department of Court Records. You must then wait for three days after applying for the license to be issued. It's advised to have your license issued 2-3 weeks before your big day.
