MuseumLab — Attraction in Pittsburgh

We were the first wedding reception at the MuseumLab and we were confident that it was going to be wonderful. Jenna, the event coordinator, was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole planning experience. She was always available to have a meeting, go over the agenda for the reception, and layout of the space. We chose to use all three levels of the space: first floor for the cocktail hour and first dance, second floor for the dancing, cookie table, and La Prima coffee table, and the third floor for the dinner. We loved that we had the option to use the whole MuseumLab for our wedding reception. The space is so unique and we loved the look of the walls, and how it was left in, "ruins." It has a lot of character and gives you a sense of what the space was. The Grable Gallery was were we chose to have our first dance and it was so amazing! The floor is original and the ceiling features a laser cut fabric inspired by the original stained glass. Guests loved having the cocktail hour on the first floor, there were games, a photo booth, lots of exhibits to explore. Having dinner on the third floor was also really special, we had about 110 guests and it was a perfect size space for that amount of people. We did a kings table for the bridal party and significant others, plus round tables. The windows and brick walls were a perfect backdrop. The second floor was such a great space for a dance floor, it features a high ceilings and an option for the guests on the third floor to watch the dancing from the balcony. We had such a blast dancing the night away. Guests that didn't like to dance were able to go back to the first floor and continue interacting with the exhibits. Overall the MuseumLab exceeded our expectations for our reception. Even though it was the first reception, it didn't feel like that. The staff were wonderful and kept the night moving smoothly. I would recommend this space to anyone that is looking for a fun, unique space with lots of character that allows guests to do more than the typical cocktail hour. Every floor of the MuseumLab is amazing. I am so glad we chose MuseumLab for our...

My husband and I had our wedding at MuseumLab on August 28, 2021 after rescheduling four times due to COVID. We cannot speak highly enough about MuseumLab and their staff. They patiently worked with us as we rescheduled our wedding and made sure we were doing what was right for us.

They are punctual, helped us to develop floor plans, and were a great value for your money. You can bring your own alcohol which is a major cost saver, and the rental costs are split up by the rooms your guests are using at a given time.

MuseumLab itself is a STUNNING venue as well - it is a historic building that has a ruins chic vibe with a modern twist. Funky artwork made the venue both interesting and modern. Guests and other vendors couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful and cool the venue was.

We'd also like to give a special shout out to Jenna Shuknecht at MuseumLab who helped us with the majority oft he planning process before starting her own wedding planning business Wildly Loved. Jenna was responsive, creative, worked within our budget, and helped us to formulate our vision for the big day. She is pleasant and an absolute joy to work with! Allyson King who took over for Jenna a week or two before our wedding date was also amazing and made the whole day flow easily. Everyone...

We had our wedding at MuseumLab on 10/21/23 and it was the best day ever. I know now why every vendor I told our site to was so excited to be at ML with us!

Allyson is a fabulous venue coordinator who is friendly, organized, and thorough. She went above and beyond at every turn to help us keep everything together and create a beautiful space. It was great to be able to have our entire event in one space but be able to use multiple areas to really keep everything flowing and give every area a distinct job. The building is so beautiful on it's own and really is stunning at every turn. On our wedding day I was not worried about any set-up or tear down logistics, I knew that she had everything in the venue on lock and I was absolutely right! Everything flowed so well and they took great care to transform the space. You get a lot included for the reservation price like a lot of tables & chairs, drapes, and a great team of employees. We really felt taken care of and like everyone at the venue was just as excited as we were! Thank you to Allyson and her team for an...
