She worked with us to reschedule our 2020 wedding to 2021 and helped us figure out all the steps through planning and implementing our ceremony and reception. She even ran out for more wine when our guests blazed through our original stock! Location wise, the WBU is very close to the city, so we were able to get convenient hotel blocks at North Shore hotels that made it easy for our out of town guests to see Pittsburgh. Our party hard guests had an easy time getting Ubers to / from the venue because of how close it was to downtown. There is plenty of parking as well, including parking close to ADA ramps. Natasha's bar tending staff were also friendly and kept the good vibes going all night. Their help with tear down and clean up made the end of the night easy and stress free. The venue itself was perfect for our vintage inspired wedding. The ballroom has a classic Americana vibe and an awesome bar. The private green room for getting ready was so useful. Our guests loved how unique the ballroom was - and they loved being able to try drinks from the brewery downstairs as well. The venue has so much authentic Pittsburgh charm. We really wanted a venue with a personality that would shine and be part of the decor itself, and the WBU did exactly that.

With over ~100 graduating students, their families, and faculty and staff, there was ample room to have he ceremony in a terraced auditorium with a catered reception afterwards. The building is both spacious and well apportioned with high ceilings, chandeliers, tasteful furnishings and comfortable sitting rooms. The catering staff was top notch and I heard from many families that this spot helped make their special day even more so. The University of Pittsburgh is blessed with many such spaces with old world charm. I would not rate this as highly as the PAA, but a treasure nonetheless.

We had many compliments on the food and the staff as well as how smoothly things ran throughout the day. There are several areas to get ready in and all offer a clean, calm and peaceful vibe. Our favorite part of this venue is how we could have our dinner and dancing separated in to two large lovely spaces, which that broke up the day and made things unique & special. The staff makes you feel at home and let us know we had use of any space or items that we needed. They set everything up beautifully and honored all of our requests. Thank you, David, for being me (the brides) go to person on the day of, and making sure we were all happy and comfortable. We would definitely recommend this elegant venue to anyone that is considering booking. We will always and forever love and cherish our wedding day spent at the TCC!

It is by reservation only, which is done online and you pay online ahead of time as well, which makes for enjoyable experience the day of, not worrying about the check, tip, etc. You get unlimited tea, and there are hot and iced varieties. I started with the mango passion fruit green tea and then finished the experience with the iced raspberry hibiscus -- you can switch it up as much as you want. The savories consisted of a red pepper quiche, spinach artichoke cups, cucumber Boursin sandwiches and almond chicken salad croissants. The standard tea includes one scone per person and I highly recommend ordering extra -- they're phenomenal and are served with strawberry jam and clotted cream. Our desserts were a raspberry lemon pound cake, chocolate and vanilla macarons and a vanilla custard in a pie crust cup with a fresh raspberry on top. Everything was amazing and they rotate menus seasonally. Children are permitted but it's the same menu and price for them, just FYI. I'll definitely return and recommend to others for special occasions or no occasion at all.

The building is well kept, the staff are kind, and the food is absolutely delicious. If you plan to dine here, be sure to make a reservation on their website! When you are seated, you get to choose from a list of hot, cold, caffeinated and non-caffeinated tea. Your waitress will bring your table milk, sugar, and your own little tea pot with hot water that is the perfect size for two cups of tea. The set menu includes savory and sweet items. The first course items on the bottom plate are a cucumber sandwich, quiche, pesto artichoke pastry, and a chicken salad croissant with an almond crust. The middle layer is a plain scone which is paired with strawberry jam and a whipped cream. The top plate holds the dessert portion. This included a sweet pastry, chocolate mousse cup, and orange cranberry bread. The bread flavor changes throughout the year. The Johnston House also hosts events like bridal showers and baby showers. This is a venue where alcohol is not permitted, so it is perfect for a relaxed, intimate event. I can not wait to be back for my sisters baby shower in a couple months!

After driving 40 minutes to the restaurant, we were turned away at the door due to a "no children under 13" policy. We were told we should have known because the policy is on their website, despite having explicitly mentioned the infant during the confirmation call. We turned around and drove 40 minutes back into the city, where we found another restaurant and had a lovely dinner. Here's the offending 4-month-old, silently smiling his way through his first dinner with his new grandparents.

You could seriously have one heck of an event here with some creativity. There's even a full working kitchen... which probably comes in handy for caterers. If I was getting married (again:) or looking for a large event space I'd look here. You could really work some cool themes into the event. I'd love to do a Mad Men themed event here, it just seems to lend itself to that era. But I kinda think you could do anything with the venue. The only thing that would be an issue is that you would absolutely need to hire a valet service. We all know what a pain in the ace parking is in the South Side, double that with a super narrow street and you're pretty much parking miles away.

My fiance and I were looking for a New York loft-type venue that could hold around 180 people. In New York this venue would cost the same amount that my whole wedding will cost (we looked there first and hurried it back to the 'burgh). We're planning our Pittsburgh wedding from San Francisco, so it's important that we have vendors who know what they're doing without meeting us often. Jay has been great. He's not so fantastic with email, so get him on the phone to schedule. We're even just dropped by to look at the space and never had trouble being buzzed in. Jay and his colleague Mike who works on videography are always very honest recommending vendors who know the space and can work with us from a distance. Totally worth the money for this space and the ease of working with Jay.
