Karen and Larry are AMAZING! The venue alone is absolutely beautiful - you can create any type of atmosphere you wish, but with the combination of Karen, Larry and staff, you cannot go wrong! They go above and beyond what they are required to do, as Karen is the manager of Laube Hall, not the cake cutter and EVERYTHING else she does that isn't in her job description. After everyone else I have talked to, including brides that have had "downtown Pittsburgh" weddings, we by far got more than what we paid for. I read a few reviews that didn't give 5 stars for value - ARE YOU KIDDING???? I know of brides that didn't get clean linens downown, they were linens left on the appetizer tables from the night before. At Laube, they allow you decorate on Friday and then come back on Saturday if you aren't finished. NEVER has anyone told me this happens at any other banquet facility. If you don't give Laube Hall all 5 stars, you are very sheltered. Thank you to Karen and staff for all they do and who they truly are!!! read more
