Priory Grand Hall Inc — Attraction in Pittsburgh

Our May 2022 wedding at The Priory couldn’t have been more perfect! We worked with Courtney throughout the planning process. Her organizational skills and attention to detail really helped us to make our big day exactly what we imagined. Jennifer worked with us during the final two weeks, and she was at the venue on the day of our wedding. She really helped to bring our vision to life through her artistic eye and by carrying out all of the small details that we had planned for and requested. She also allowed us to come help her set up the hall the day before the wedding. We really appreciated being able to see the space come to life and to be able to hand place some of our most important details. Throughout the planning process, both Jennifer and Courtney were extremely responsive, supportive, and knowledgeable. They were truly able to make everything that we requested happen.

Many of our guests stayed at the Priory Hotel over our wedding weekend, as we were able to block the whole hotel. This was extremely convenient, and all of our guests were happy with their rooms. The proximity between friends and family also made the whole wedding weekend even more fun.

We used the beautiful courtyard for our cocktail hour. It was a great way for us to have outdoor elements in our wedding reception without the risk of having plans be ruined by bad weather. Courtney and Jennifer even allowed some of our guests with concerns about Covid to eat their meals in the courtyard! This allowed some of our family and friends with Covid risk factors to still be able to take part in our big day.

During our reception, all of the staff was outstanding, and many of our guests raved about the food.

We truly couldn’t have asked for more from The Priory for our...

A Spectacular Stay in a Unique Historic Gem!

My recent experience at this exceptional hotel was nothing short of magical! Housed in a beautifully restored historical girls' school, the hotel seamlessly blends rich history with modern luxury. From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the grandeur of the architecture, which pays homage to its storied past while offering contemporary comforts.

The cleanliness was impeccable—every corner of the hotel gleamed, and the attention to detail was evident throughout. The rooms were spacious, elegantly decorated, and provided a serene ambiance that made it hard to leave. Luxurious bedding, tasteful furnishings, and a nice but efficient breakfast created an atmosphere of pure indulgence. Definitely will be staying there again next time I’m in town.

The hotel's location is another major highlight. Nestled in a charming area, it's perfectly walkable to the city during the daytime, making it an ideal spot for both leisure and exploration. Whether strolling through picturesque streets or discovering local gems, everything is conveniently within reach.

The staff went above and beyond, offering warm hospitality and ensuring every aspect of my stay was flawless. Their knowledge about the building's history added a delightful touch to the experience.

In summary, this hotel is a rare treasure—a stunning combination of historical charm, luxurious comfort, and an unbeatable location. I can't wait to return and relive the experience. Highly, highly...

We had the pleasure of having our wedding at Pittsburgh's Grand Hall at The Priory in March 2023. Since many of our guests traveled from out-of-town for the wedding, we also utilized all of the rooms at the adjacent Priory Hotel for the weekend. We are beyond thrilled with how everything turned out and would highly recommend hosting a wedding or any other special event at this venue.

As a special event venue, the Grand Hall at the Priory is truly one-of-a-kind – with history, charm, and beautiful details unseen in other venues like stained glass windows and an overlook choir loft. When you combine that with the modern touches – spectacular food, valet parking, full-service packages reasonably priced, hotel on-site – it’s hard to find another venue in Pittsburgh that can compete in our opinion. In addition, we were especially dazzled by the outstanding service we received throughout the planning process, at the Grand Hall on the day of our wedding, and the Priory Hotel itself. Courtney (Director of Events & Catering Sales), Jennifer (Event Manager), and Luciano (Guest Services Manager) are absolute pros and everyone that we came into contact with was extremely helpful, friendly, and accommodating (Nicole and Logan at the hotel front desk, Janet at our wedding, everyone really).

If you are looking for a great wedding experience that will “wow” your guests (ours are still talking about how great everything was and how unique the Priory is), we would encourage you to...
