We graciously ask for guests to wear formal attire. For men, a formal dark suit with a tie is welcomed. For women, a tea length to floor-length dress or formal pantsuit would be beautiful. Please refrain from wearing white, ivory, and champagne as these are traditionally designated for the bride. Out of respect for our historic venue, shoes are required for the entirety of the reception. Please bring an additional pair of shoes, if needed, as we want you to be comfortable as we mingle, dance, and celebrate!
Limited reserved parking is located on the left side of S. Bellefield Avenue between Forbes Avenue and Fifth Avenue. The left hand lane will be closed to traffic and will be dedicated parking for guests. A Pittsburgh Police Officer will be present to direct the parking. Please note that cars not removed following the ceremony may be ticketed or towed. The Carnegie Museum of Art offers payment parking for guests who plan to drive. Heinz Chapel is in walkable .4mi (roughly 8 minutes) for those who are able.
We ask that you arrive at least 15-20 minutes before the start of the ceremony to ensure everyone is seated and ready for a prompt start of the procession.
While we love your children, we have decided to have both an adults-only ceremony and reception. We hope you understand and can still join us for a beautiful and romantic evening!
While the Casile and Sante Family's has reserved rooms at The Oaklander Hotel for our guests, the block is officially filled. There are other hotels around the venue which are listed our the "Travel" tab at various price points. Please note: Transportation to and from venues will only be provided to the Oakland Hotel.
For the ceremony, we will provide shuttle service for guests staying at The Oaklander Hotel to Heinz Chapel. Transportation to the Carnegie Museum of Art will be offered directly following the ceremony for guests in need of assistance. Shuttles returning to The Oaklander will be offered during and at the conclusion of the reception.
We will be sad to miss you! Please let us know as soon as possible so we can update our numbers. You can contact us at ersasante@gmail.com .
We would love to accommodate everyone, but we have a strict guest list as we desire for our day to be surrounded by our loved ones who have shaped our relationships. Guests in relationships will be prioritized as receiving a plus one offer. We respectfully request that the usage of a plus one is following the same criteria. We appreciate your understanding!
