The Heinz History Center was an exceptional choice for our wedding venue. Their communication throughout the planning process was prompt, professional, and they were excellent listeners to ensure our vision came to life. The space itself is truly chic, grand, and unique, providing an exciting backdrop for our special day. The interactive spaces allowed our guests to explore during cocktail hour and reception, and ensured our custom decor was prominently displayed. The seamless flow between the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception kept the energy high and the day moving smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue to celebrate our marriage.

The Science Center made our wedding perfect! Vanessa and Tom were absolute rockstars and made the whole process very easy. Our venue was decorated beautifully with the decorations we provided, and we received endless compliments on the venue. The food was delicious and the CSC staff clearly put a lot of thought into the cookie table arrangement. Every staff member we interacted with was incredibly kind and helpful. They even allowed us to take some photos in the exhibit space, which was a ton of fun! I can't recommend the Science Center enough for any event.

I can’t say enough good things about the Terrace at The Hyatt Southside and ESPECIALLY Julie Hutto. Her and her staff are absolutely incredible. She completely goes above and beyond and truly cares about her couples. Not to mention the venue is just absolutely gorgeous as well, but Julie takes on every single detail, decorating, time keeping, talking with vendors. She takes care of it ALL. I never had to worry about a thing, and that’s HUGE on your wedding day. I wasn’t stressed at all that morning because Julie had it covered. If you are thinking about booking this venue I urge you to do it and tell Julie Megan and Josh say hello!

Mansions on Fifth Hotel

Pittsburgh, PA

Welcome to the Gilded Age. Right here. Right now. A unique Pittsburgh Boutique Hotel. Once home to one of Pittsburgh’s most prominent attorneys, when you cross the threshold of the Mansions on Fifth Hotel, you enter another world – one of elegance, sophistication and opulence. And yet despite its grandeur, the Mansions on Fifth Hotel honors the simplicity of that time. Our boutique, upscale accommodations offer a quiet respite from the hustle and bustle at the intersection of Pittsburgh’s most prominent universities, medical centers, and technology and innovation hubs. And, since September 30, 2016, the Mansions is operated by the Priory Hospitality Group, Pittsburgh’s premier owner, operator and developer of independent hotels and event spaces. Among its other holdings, Priory Hospitality Group owns and operates the Priory Hotel and Grand Hall at the Priory on Pittsburgh’s North Shore.

  • Bridal suite on site
  • Wheelchair accessible
  • Classic, vintage atmosphere

Venue considerations

  • No in-house lighting and sound packages available
  • Does not allow pets
  • On-site parking not available
The first time we saw the Mansions on Fifth, we thought it was the perfect venue for our big day... and it was! The entire historic property is absolutely stunning, both the exterior and the interiors of each room (you'll have some amazing photos!). The many food options we tried were all delicious and the chef was accommodating in making any menu adjustments we requested. The whole staff was super helpful and professional, with a special shoutout to the event manager Marissa, who helped plan our wedding though the months leading up; and to the day-of event manager Zach, who expertly kept everything on track and helped make the day perfect. I'd say the venue is ideal for a small to medium sized event, we had 40 people and it was great. Aside from events, it is still a very cool place to stay if you’re in the Shadyside area for a night or two.
