New Pittsburgh Wedding Venues Opened in 2025

Planning a wedding in Pittsburgh just got more exciting – several brand-new wedding venues have opened their doors in 2025! Whether you’re dreaming of a chic downtown celebration or a rustic countryside affair, these new venues offer fresh options for Pittsburgh-area couples. Below, we highlight each venue’s location, style (indoor, outdoor, or hybrid), capacity, pricing info, vendor policies, standout features, and booking outlook. This guide will help you discover the perfect Pittsburgh wedding venue for your big day.

Downtown Pittsburgh’s New Event Space (Greenwood Building) – Opened April 2025

Location: Downtown Pittsburgh (Smithfield St.)

Venue Type: Indoor urban event loft (3rd-floor space)

Capacity: Up to ~499 guests

Pricing: To be announced (venue was newly opened in 2025; inquire for custom pricing)

Vendors: Open vendor policy with in-house coordination. As a Black-owned venue led by event planner Montia Robinson, it’s likely to offer flexible vendor options and planning services tailored to each event. (Catering details are forthcoming; outside caterers may be allowed, but expect recommended vendor lists.)

Unique Features: This downtown event space is a brand-new, Black-owned premier venue created to fill a need in Pittsburgh’s wedding scene. Housed on the third floor of the historic Greenwood Building, the venue offers a modern blank canvas with industrial-chic vibes right in the heart of the city. It’s an easy choice for couples wanting an urban celebration with skyline views and convenience for guests. Co-founder Khamil Bailey noted the significance of opening a large event space accessible to Pittsburgh’s Black community downtown: “It seems to be a need that existed…having access to something like that Downtown, it was a need that needed to be filled. The space is designed to host everything from wedding ceremonies and receptions to showers and live entertainment, with a spacious open floor plan that you can dress up to fit your vision.

Booking Availability: Opened in April 2025, this venue is brand new – as of mid-2025, dates for late 2025 and 2026 are likely available. Given the buzz around its opening, weekends book quickly. Couples interested in a downtown Pittsburgh wedding should reach out early to secure their date.

The Chariot Events at Meadowlands (Washington, PA) – Opened 2025

Location: Meadowlands (Washington County), ~30 minutes from Pittsburgh

Venue Type: Renovated barn venue with indoor and outdoor spaces (hybrid)

Capacity: 300+ guests (spacious two-level barn)

Pricing: Starting around $7,900 for basic packages, with most couples spending ~$12K for full reception packages. Custom quotes are provided based on guest count and services.

Vendors: In-house and BYO blend. The Chariot offers preferred vendors and some inclusive services (they have partnerships for catering, bar, décor, etc.), but you can personalize. In fact, their team provides a vendor guide with recommended caterers and vendors – from photographers to florists – making planning easier. (The venue is woman-owned and offers planning assistance as needed.) Notably, bar service is provided in-house (they are licensed for alcohol), and you can choose from their list of caterers or inquire about bringing your own – flexibility is a hallmark.

Unique Features: Set on a historic property once used for horse racing, The Chariot combines rustic charm with modern elegance. The centerpiece is a huge brick barn being lovingly updated into a two-story event space. Ceremonies can be held indoors (downstairs in a dedicated ceremony area or cocktail space) or outdoors on the grounds, while receptions take place in the barn’s spacious upper level. The venue’s story and architecture add character – you’ll literally be celebrating where “champions once made history,” as their website puts it, under original stone archways and high barn ceilings. Despite opening recently, The Chariot has hit the ground running – they started hosting weddings in spring 2025 and have already wowed couples with the epic backdrop and attentive service. Couples love the on-site bridal suite and the blend of indoor convenience with outdoor photo ops (think rolling fields and farm vistas). The Chariot is also fairly all-inclusive if you want it to be: they offer wedding packages that can cover catering, décor, coordination, and more, so you can relax and enjoy a “one-stop” experience.

Booking Availability: As a new venue, many 2025 dates were initially open; by now some prime weekends have filled. They have been actively booking 2025 weddings since late 2024, and popular months (May–Oct) are likely filling fast. If you’re eyeing 2025 or early 2026 dates, reach out soon. The venue prides itself on quick responses (often within 24hr) – they’re eager to work with couples as one of Pittsburgh’s newest wedding destinations.

Castile in the Eden (Scio, OH – Greater Pittsburgh Region) – Opened 2025

Location: Scio, Ohio – about 1 hour west of Pittsburgh, in the Appalachian foothills

Venue Type: Outdoor estate venue with castle-inspired ambiance (primarily outdoor ceremonies, with some indoor amenities)

Capacity: Up to 350–375 guests for weddings

Pricing: Packages range roughly from $4,500 up to $9,500 for use of the venue (per event), varying with guest count and options. Castile offers all-inclusive packages that cover “all the essentials,” helping couples bundle venue rental with basic amenities. Exact pricing is customized; expect higher-end pricing for larger weddings given the estate’s capacity and offerings (listed as $$$ on The Knot).

Vendors: Flexible, with in-house package inclusions. Castile in the Eden provides inclusive wedding packages (they even note all essentials are included – likely tents, tables, basic décor, etc.), which means they handle a lot in-house. However, since it’s essentially a private estate venue, you have freedom to bring your preferred vendors for catering, music, etc., or use their recommendations. There is no on-site catering kitchen mentioned, so they may work with partner caterers or allow insured outside caterers. (Always confirm policies, but couples can generally expect a collaborative approach: Castile will ensure your vendors have access and support on the big day.)

Unique Features: If you’ve ever dreamed of a fairytale “castle” wedding, Castile in the Eden is literally billing itself as the place. This brand-new venue is set on 100 acres of picturesque countryside, with landscaped gardens and panoramic hilltop views. At the entrance, wrought-iron gates and castle-like architecture greet your guests, setting a romantic tone. Outdoor ceremony sites abound – lush garden lawns, under a floral arbor, or even against a castle façade. There are also private suites for the bride and groom to get ready in style. Castile’s tagline is “Your dream castle wedding awaits,” and it delivers on atmosphere – think elegant European estate vibes amid Appalachian scenery. Despite being just over the state line in Ohio, it specifically markets to Pittsburgh couples seeking a destination feel without going far. Another standout feature is capacity: very few local venues can host 300+ guests outdoors, so Castile is ideal for large weddings. Even with a big guest list, you won’t feel crowded in their expansive gardens. From sunset photos by the lake to fireworks over the castle, Castile offers truly epic wedding moments.

Booking Availability: The venue launched in spring 2025 (website went live April 2025), so it’s brand new – meaning many prime dates were initially open. As word spreads, fall 2025 Saturdays may book up; if you want a peak-season weekend, move fast. The venue’s large capacity means they accommodate big events, but they typically host one wedding at a time (ensuring exclusivity). If you’re after a unique 2025 Pittsburgh-area wedding spot, this could be a hidden gem (with more availability than long-established venues). Pro tip: schedule a tour to fully appreciate the grounds – they often invite couples for personal tours to envision the magic.

Trailside Landing Event Center (Connellsville, PA) – Opened January 2025

Location: Connellsville, PA (Fayette County), along the Youghiogheny River – ~50 miles southeast of Pittsburgh

Venue Type: Indoor banquet hall with outdoor riverfront terrace (hybrid)

Capacity: Up to 250 guests in its modern ballroom

Pricing: Package-based. Trailside Landing offers flexible event packages and upscale catering options through its in-house restaurant. While exact prices aren’t published, expect competitive rates for the region – likely starting in the mid-range for full wedding packages. (For context, the base venue rental might be a few thousand dollars, with catering per-person on top. They promise “affordable options” for bar packages.) Given it’s connected to a hotel and restaurant, couples can often negotiate group deals (e.g. catering menus, room blocks). It’s best to inquire for a custom quote tailored to your guest count and menu choices.

Vendors: In-house catering & bar required; outside vendors for décor allowed. As a newly built event center adjacent to the Comfort Inn and River’s Edge restaurant, Trailside Landing handles food and beverage in-house. They have professional restaurateurs providing a “wide variety of amazing upscale” menu options, so outside caterers are not permitted (except specialty desserts – they welcome wedding cakes and cookie tables). Likewise, because they hold a liquor license, no BYO alcohol is allowed, but their licensed bartenders will serve your guests with customizable bar packages. On other vendors, they are flexible: you can bring your own florist, DJ/band, photographer, etc., and the venue team will work with them. They even note that outside decorators are welcome and can access the facility early to “make it shine” to your liking. Additionally, the Trailside staff can connect you with trusted local vendors and help coordinate – a nice perk for couples who want guidance.

Unique Features: Riverside elegance with modern comfort. Trailside Landing opened as Connellsville’s premier event venue and offers a blend of scenic beauty and brand-new facilities. The highlight is its location: it sits right on the Youghiogheny River, so your guests can enjoy waterfront views from the ballroom and outdoor deck. Imagine saying “I do” with the gentle river in the background, or hosting cocktail hour on the covered balcony at sunset. Inside, the venue boasts a modern, elegant ballroom – essentially a blank slate with neutral tones, high ceilings, and state-of-the-art lighting/AV, which you can dress up to fit any theme. It’s equally suited for a black-tie reception or a casual, cozy gathering. For convenience, lodging is next door: the award-winning Comfort Inn is literally steps away, which is perfect for out-of-town guests or a post-reception crash pad. There’s even The Chateau boutique hotel up the road, giving more overnight options. Trailside Landing’s creation was completed in late 2024, so couples in 2025 are among the first to celebrate there – meaning pristine facilities and that “new venue” sparkle. The venue’s restaurant ties mean the catering is a standout: reviews praise the gourmet approach of their menus (from elegant plated dinners to fun barbecue or Italian stations via their Pig & Fire BBQ and Spring House catering partners). With ample parking, easy load-in, and a helpful on-site coordinator, Trailside makes planning a breeze. It truly offers a full package: ceremony, reception, great food, and lodging all in one riverside location.

Booking Availability: Having opened in early 2025, Trailside Landing still has plenty of availability for late 2025 (and is actively booking 2026). Many couples in the Laurel Highlands region are just discovering it, so you might snag a prime fall 2025 date that would be long gone at other venues. Weekends will fill as local awareness grows – the Connellsville mayor even promoted its opening, so inquiries are ramping up. If you want a new venue with open dates and are flexible on location outside the city, this is a fantastic find. Schedule a tour and the Trailside team will likely treat you to a tasting at their restaurant to seal the deal!

A Touch of Class Event Center (Penn Hills, PA) – Opened 2025

Location: Penn Hills (East Pittsburgh suburbs)

Venue Type: Indoor event center, consisting of two elegant halls (one larger, one more intimate)

Capacity: Approximately 150 in the larger hall (200 combined across both spaces) – ideal for medium-sized weddings. The venue can be configured for smaller events or opened up for a single large reception of up to ~200 guests.

Pricing: Tiered packages available. Uniquely, A Touch of Class is run by event specialists who offer planning + venue packages. They have three package tiers – Classic, Premium, and Infinity – to suit different budgets and needs. Classic is a basic rental with some décor for intimate celebrations, Premium adds more services, and Infinity is an all-inclusive, worry-free package where their team handles every detail. Because pricing is customized per event and based on your selections, you won’t find a one-size number; however, the approach ensures you get value for your budget. (For example, the team can do full design, coordination, and even centerpieces in-house, which can save money versus hiring separately.) It’s best to contact them for a consultation – they’ll craft a proposal that includes the venue rental and any services you want to bundle.

Vendors: One-stop-shop style (full-service available), but open to outside vendors. True to its name, A Touch of Class not only provides the space but also event planning and design services. If you go with their Infinity (all-inclusive) package, they will arrange vendors for catering, décor, DJ, etc. through their trusted partners, making your life easy. However, you’re not locked in – you can also rent the hall and bring in your own licensed caterer and vendors if you prefer. The facility has a prep kitchen and allows outside catering (often important for cultural cuisines or special preferences) – just confirm any requirements (e.g. insurance or staffing). They strive to be flexible: “from weddings to business meetings, our elegant space accommodates all occasions” and client needs. One thing to note: because they emphasize “we handle everything for you,” many couples choose to let the in-house team decorate and coordinate – the owner has 20+ years of event planning experience. But if you have a favorite florist or caterer, they’re happy to collaborate. It truly can be as DIY or as all-inclusive as you want, which is a huge plus for busy couples or those on a tight budget who still want professional support.

Unique Features: A Touch of Class Event Center is a boutique venue with a planning twist. Opened in 2025 in a remodeled space in Penn Hills, it offers the convenience of city amenities without the downtown price tag or parking hassles. The interior is described as elegant and neutral – think chic banquet hall with classy décor, modern flooring, and up-lighting to set the mood. Because there are two separate spaces inside, you could hold your ceremony in one hall and reception in the other, or use one room for cocktail hour/dinner and the other for dancing. The flexibility is great for events that need multiple environments in one location. For example, one hall can seat about 100 guests for a ceremony, while the larger hall can host the reception dinner for 150, and then everyone can reunite on a central dance floor. The venue provides tables, chairs, and basic linens, and their team’s creative designs can transform the space – previous events have featured everything from lush balloon installations to elegant drapery. Easy accessibility is another perk: it’s located just off Saltsburg Road, with ample free parking and even a covered loading area for vendors (no dragging your décor through city streets!). Couples frequently praise the personalized attention they get here – being a smaller venue operation, the staff truly focuses on your event. From initial consultation to the final breakdown, they ensure your wedding has that “touch of class” – be it a custom floor plan, a signature themed decor, or simply a smoothly run timeline. If you want a stress-free planning process, this venue doubles as your planner, which sets it apart from many blank-hall rentals.

Booking Availability: As a newer venue, A Touch of Class still has openings in 2025. Their official grand opening was in early 2025, and they’ve been actively promoting open dates. Because they cater to a variety of events (not just weddings), you’ll want to lock in your wedding date early to avoid competition from other events. The prime wedding months (spring and fall 2025) have availability, but weekend slots are filling as local couples discover this gem. One advantage here: if you’re planning a short-term wedding (under a year out), this venue might have attractive dates open when others are booked solid. They invite couples for a walkthrough and consultation (often free) – during which they’ll discuss how to bring your vision to life. So if a customizable, full-service venue in the Pittsburgh area appeals to you, it’s worth reaching out to see what dates are still up for grabs.
