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.
