City Wedding vs Rustic Wedding: Pittsburgh Has It All
In the United States, there are over 2 million weddings per year. Happy couples walk down the aisle, say “I do” and plan the rest of their lives together. And some of these weddings are held at Pittsburgh wedding venues.
Known for its close vicinity to both the city and country, Pittsburgh offers something for every couple.
Host your wedding with views of the downtown area or Grandview Avenue, or choose to go right outside the city to a beautiful, rustic wedding venue. You have a lot of options when choosing to host your wedding in or near Pittsburgh.
But should you host a city or rustic wedding?
Where To Have a Wedding Reception in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh City Weddings
City weddings are a popular choice for many couples. If you're looking to get married in a city, here are some of the benefits of hosting your wedding there.
You can save money on your wedding. Instead of hosting everything in one location, you can have the ceremony and reception in two different places. By splitting the wedding between two locations, you can pick and choose your locations more discerningly rather than be forced into hosting your wedding in one place.
Some of the key benefits of Pittsburgh wedding venues in the city are:
If you live in the city and a lot of your guests are in the city, they’re far more likely to attend your wedding.
Cities make it easy for people coming in from out of town to find a hotel and transport to your wedding.
Cities are filled with venues, so you’ll have a lot of venues to choose from.
Pictures can be amazing, with a lot of scenery to choose from.
Vendors are a lot easier to find in big cities, and there’s less of a risk that they’ll get lost or be late to your wedding.
Of course, there are also benefits to a rustic, country wedding, too.
Pittsburgh Rustic Weddings
Are you and your partner the type of people who like the quiet life? A lot of couples don’t want to deal with the traffic or noise of the city. Rustic or country weddings are a good opportunity to get into nature on your big wedding day.
One of the hidden gems of living in or around Pittsburgh is that there are ample wedding venues right in the middle of the country yet close enough to the city.
You can have old farm or barn weddings that offer a tranquil setting and a lot of peace and quiet. A few of the main perks of these weddings are:
Spacious. You’ll find a lot of barn weddings have a ton of indoor and outdoor space that’s perfect for larger wedding parties.
Rustic. Exposed beams, elegance and charm are part of the rustic wedding experience.
History. You're making your own history with your wedding, but these venues are sometimes nearing 100 years old and are filled with vibrant pasts.
If you’re having a wedding in Pittsburgh, be sure to consider your choices; there’s more than just the city to choose from.
