About Grand Hall at the Priory

A wedding at the Grand Hall at the Priory takes place inside a former church on Pittsburgh's North Side, and it is hard to take a dull picture here. Rolling barrel vaults and arches, massive columns topped with gold-leafed Corinthian capitals, gold stencil work on the ceiling and Austrian stained glass windows surround you, so your wedding photos and video carry the feeling of a cathedral with the ease of a party.

You can do nearly the whole day here. In warmer months, the Priory Courtyard hosts wedding ceremonies for up to 150 among greenery and flowers, and it doubles as a backdrop for portraits and cocktails; the hall itself can also be set for a ceremony. Inside, the old altar is now a raised stage, perfect for a band or a large wedding party, and the balcony overlooks the whole hall, used as a private staging area before you are announced. That balcony gives your wedding videographer a high angle on your entrance and first dance. The hall seats about 350 with a dance floor and works for groups as small as 35.

Getting ready is easy, too. The Blissful Bridal Lounge is free on your wedding day from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., with four hair and makeup stations, professional lighting and mirrors, soft seating and a dining area, all good light for getting-ready pictures. The hall's own chefs prepare all the food, there's a full bar, and there's no extra fee for parking or valet. The adjoining 42-room Priory Hotel keeps your family and guests next door. The original organ is still in place but no longer plays.

  • Tour the hall, courtyard and bridal lounge.
  • Have a rain plan if you choose a courtyard ceremony.
  • Ask about photo and video guidelines, including the balcony.

A little about the Grand Hall at the Priory

The hall was built in 1854 as St. Mary's German Catholic Church, and its stained glass from Innsbruck was added in 1912. The church closed in 1981, was saved from a planned highway, and reopened as an event hall next to the Priory Hotel.

Check the location's own photo and video rules

Locations set their own rules about where photographers and videographers can stand, when they can take photos or film, and whether vendors need approval. We don't state those rules here.
