    Our wedding ceremony at Heinz Chapel was truly stunning. The space is one-of-a-kind and spectacular, and from the moment we toured it, we knew we had to get married there! The planning process with Wendy was so easy, and Sharon, our ceremony coordinator, was so organized and enthusiastic. She made sure to deal with every single difference in our ceremony with grace and elegance – from uneven numbers of bridesmaids and groomsmen, to my brother (a groomsmen) escorting bridesmaids to where they would stand and running to the back of the church to walk me down the aisle, to an a cappella group singing in the middle of the ceremony. We are so pleased with our experience with their team. Our wedding was also on a Friday, so we did not feel rushed out of the space at all. The best part of the whole day was that the garden right next to the chapel, which has been under construction since last year when we booked the space, opened specially on our wedding day. We were the first couple who was able to take pictures in the garden, which made it incredibly intimate. We loved our experience! Photo credit to Meredith McKee Photography!

    This is an exquisite building. I went to a Gong Bath here by Mike Tamburo and it was one of the most magical experiences ever. The way the sound carries in this building in tremendous and moving. The architecture and stained glass windows hold so much history. Really cool experience to even be inside the building let alone hear the acoustics. I feel lucky to have been inside 🫀

    Beautiful, intricate architecture and design! There was someone playing the organ when we visited which was super cool. Very loud and great acoustics.

    Located right outside the Cathedral of Learning. Many elect to have their wedding at this magnificent venue. Pitt students get 10% off wedding bookings here I believe. Wanted to share a pic.

    Beautiful, historic memorial chapel located within the University of Pittsburgh campus, next to the Cathedral of Learning. Inside, there are two organs, one in the chancel and another in the upper floor of the back of the nave/narthex. The stained glass windows were also gorgeous! Definitely a must visit!

    We had our wedding ceremony at Heinz Chapel and it is truly a magical place! The chapel speaks for itself on how beautiful it is... the stained glass windows and tall ceilings really give you chills! The whole team there is so organized, I know you have to book so far in advance (we booked almost 2 years in advance) but it is so worth it! We had Sharon as our wedding coordinator for the day of and you could tell she truly cared about making your wedding perfect! She set up a zoom call a few weeks before to make sure she knew exactly what we wanted and to go through all the details and was super organized and so friendly the night of the rehearsal. The day of the wedding was just beautiful - my husband and I took a minute during the ceremony to just soak in everything around us. If you are considering having your ceremony at Heinz Chapel I would definitely recommend!

    I have the honor of presiding over weddings at Heinz memorial Chapel. The staff are utterly amazing and the venue speaks for itself.

    Wow! Heinz Memorial Chapel is quite impressive! My first visit here was to FILM a wedding in the fall of 2022. This Chapel can be a little tight in places and maybe a little dark if you don't have the right equipment for filming. However, the architecture and design is AMAZING! I LOVE the stone work, the stained glass windows, the chandeliers, etc. I pretty much love everything about the design of this Chapel. If you are looking for a very classy place to get married in, definitely check out Heinz Memorial Chapel!

    Heinz chapel is an incredible wedding venue. The coordinators were excellent and made sure the day ran smoothly. They were so accommodating to our ceremony plans and made everything perfect on the day of. The organist played beautifully and our guests loved the venue. We couldn't believe it was also so cost effective for such a perfect spot!!

    They have a reputation for running a tight ship and they do not disappoint! All of the ladies at Heinz were responsive and great to work with throughout the planning process. They answered all of our questions and ran a smooth production the day of our wedding.

    Corinne is friendly and easy to communicate with! Our wedding tour was engaging and informative - we are so excited to have our wedding at Heinz Chapel!

    Nice quick visit to the Chapel - free and accessible. If you look at the details of the beautiful 73 foot stained glass windows, you'll see they're not the typical saints or Biblical scenes but secular figures like George Washington, Bach and other historical figures.

    Absolutely amazing building. Beautiful architecture and stained glass. The sound moves so beautifully through the chapel. It truly is breathtaking.

    The venue speaks for itself! I graduated from Pitt, so it was so special to have our wedding here! Most of our guests were from out of town and had never been to Pittsburgh and they were blown away by how beautiful the chapel was! I planned the entire wedding myself from California, where I now live. The staff made it so easy and were so well-organized. They stick to a strict time schedule and were very professional. Corinne was our coordinator and she was awesome to work with! She listed to all of our ideas and helped make sure everything ran smoothly during the rehearsal and on the day of the wedding. The organ music was incredible too! I really cannot say enough great things and couldn't be happier! What an awesome memory to be married in such a beautiful place!

    I went here for a public poetry reading for class. The church is a beautiful, picturesque, and well maintained historical landmark. This is a very popular wedding destination due to its stunning architecture and stained glass windows.

    Very beautiful. Definitely glad we made the stop. The stained glasses is absolutely stunning if you go while the sun is out! The employee working there was very kind to turn on the organ and let me hear it!

    This was our last stop before heading to the airport to go back home, so glad we decided to stop here. We were greeted by a docent when we entered and given a brochure that talked about the stained glass, it was very quiet and peaceful. The wood carvings are beautifully done. Well worth the visit and a quiet place for reflection.

    Very beautiful campus chapel on my last visit a group of choir students was singing outside and their melodious voices filled the air with even more beauty
