Question

Can I contribute to the Cookie Table?

Answer

The Cookie Table is a cherished Pittsburgh wedding tradition where loved ones bake and share homemade cookies to celebrate the couple. It's a community effort that brings together favorite recipes, each one a symbol of love, heritage, and generosity. If you'd like to contribute your baking to our cookie table, please reach out to Staci—we'd love to have you be part of this special tradition!

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

The ceremony will begin at 5pm so we kindly request that you arrive at least 20 minutes early to ensure you don't miss anything. This will also give you time to park and find your seat. Shuttles from downtown will arrive at the venue by 4:30pm.

Question

How do I get to the venue?

Answer

A shuttle will depart from the Hilton at 4:00 PM and arrive at the venue by 4:30 PM. At the end of the reception, shuttles will return guests to the hotel at 10:30 PM. Please plan to arrive and meet the shuttle no later than 3:45 PM. You may also drive to the venue. Pre-paid valet parking will be available on-site. Ubers and Lyfts are also available.

Question

Can I take photos?

Answer

We are having an "unplugged ceremony" (no phones or cameras). The greatest gift you can give us is being fully present as we say "I do".

After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos and videos as you'd like!
