Exchange your vows in a setting that combines grandeur with intimacy – the Grand Staircase at the Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel. The sweeping staircase serves as a stunning aisle, creating a breathtaking entrance for the bride. With its classic architecture and romantic ambiance, this iconic location promises a ceremony that is nothing short of magical. I love that my clients can light the dome in their color of choice, and that the staircase is a fantastic indoor location here in Pittsburgh – that really looks great, wows your guests, and photographs beautifully! Keep in mind: this is a big space, so a photographer who can properly and beautifully light your ceremony is important!
