FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes! Our dress code is funky winter garden formal. We'd love to see you in unique silhouettes, colors, patterns and textures. Please avoid white for ladies.

Question

Where is the ceremony and reception?

Answer

The ceremony will be outside on the Patrick T Fagan Overlook on Mt Washington. Please note that it is outdoors and November tends to be chilly in Pittsburgh. Dress appropriately. Following the ceremony, we will proceed one block down Shiloh Street to the Summit, where the reception will take place. Please note that the restrooms are down a flight of steps.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Our venue has very limited seating. Only those named on your invitation will have seats for dinner.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We love your children so much and would love to celebrate with them at another time. Kids are welcome at the brunch on Sunday, but please treat the wedding day as your time to relax in an adults-only setting.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive fifteen minutes prior to the start time. The ceremony will largely be standing room only. If you are driving, please allot enough time to find parking on Mt Washington or to park at Station Square and take the Monongahela Incline up to the overlook.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Yes, please delineate your food allergy in your RSVP so that our venue has an updated list of all allergies. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the bride or groom directly to coordinate.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

No, we have not arranged transportation. The Westin is very central and is less than a 15 minute uber. The Sheraton is right at the bottom of Mt Washington and we encourage you to make use of the Monongahela Incline to make your way to the ceremony and reception. The Monongahela Incline’s hours of operation are 5:30AM to 12:45AM Mondays through Saturdays. You can find more information about riding the Incline here: https://www.rideprt.org/services/monongahela-incline/MonAbout/

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

We have two hotel room blocks at the Westin Pittsburgh and the Sheraton Station Square. Please use the link in the "travel" section to make your reservations.

Question

Should we bring gifts?

Answer

Gifts are not expected, but of course appreciated. Your presence at our wedding is the most impactful gift you can give us! We have prioritized cash gifts over items on our registry.

Question

Where should I park?

Answer

There is limited street parking on Grandview Ave and Shiloh Street. There is a two level parking lot at the intersection of Shiloh Street and Virginia Ave. You may also choose to park at Station Square and take the Incline up to Grandview Ave instead.
