The Heinz History Center, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a fantastic location for weddings and events. If you are looking for a location that is truly Pittsburgh, this is the place for you. Recently, The Event Group had the privilege of assisting a wonderful couple plan their wedding at the History Center. The evening was an incredible night for the bride, groom and all of their guests.

The ceremony was in the library which archives the rich history of Western Pennsylvania. Guests sat on mahogany Chiavari chairs as the bride and groom walked down the aisle lined with a beautiful Oriental rug.

The ceremony was beautiful and took place under a gorgeous arbor of earth tones of fall foliage and flickering candlelight (battery operated for safety of the library, of course!).

The couple had originally wanted to have their wedding outside. Boy are we glad that they opted for indoors because October 5th was filled with rain! We recreated an outdoor reception in the ballroom on the 5th floor of the History Center.

Globe lanterns, string lights and candles covering all of the window ledges cast such an amazing glow, creating the perfect ambiance. It was truly breathtaking.

The couple chose to sit at a sweetheart style table which had a perfect view of the dance floor. The gorgeous arrangements at the tables kept consistent with the ceremony floral. There were succulents and an abundance of greenery in each arrangement which made for unique, interesting centerpieces. Mercury glass votives and vases were the perfect complement!

As guests danced the night away, they paused occasionally to grab a sweet treat by Bella Christie’s. Everything from pie pops to cupcakes were available in a visually pleasing display.

As the night wound down, so did the lights, which made for the perfect evening for Gina and Jim.

We wish them all the best; it was so wonderful to be a part of their special day! To check out more of this Heinz History Center wedding, please see the album in our gallery. All photos are by Elizabeth Vincent Photography.
