Rehearsal dinners and welcome parties in Pittsburgh

The night before, done right: a relaxed dinner for the wedding party or a welcome party for the whole guest list, at a brewery in the Strip District. Spaces for 25 to 300 guests, three-hour reservation.

Rehearsal dinners & welcome parties

Feed everyone well, keep it easy, and save the speeches for tomorrow.

A rehearsal dinner at the Warehouse is buffet-style, hearty and relaxed: the Enclosed Patio under the pergola for a candle-lit dinner, the Lounge for a wedding-party dinner of 28, or the First Floor with the bocce court and games for a welcome party where the two families actually meet. Sunday-to-Thursday rates apply to most rehearsal dinners, and the Upper Level has room for a DJ if the welcome party turns into one.

Rehearsal dinners, answered

Is the food a sit-down dinner?

Hors d'oeuvres and dinner are served buffet style and overseen by our staff, which keeps the evening relaxed. Our culinary team writes the menu with you and can customize it for allergies and dietary preferences.

Can the welcome party include everyone on the guest list?

Yes. The First Floor holds 110 cocktail style and the Upper Level 250, with room for a DJ and a dance floor. Ask for the Upper Level if you want the welcome party to feel like the first night of the wedding.

Is the wedding at Cinderlands too?

It can be: ceremonies and receptions are on the Weddings page. Many couples hold the rehearsal dinner here and the wedding elsewhere, or the other way round; both work.

How long do we have the space?

Three hours, not including set-up time. Longer evenings can be arranged with our Event Coordinator.

Can we do toasts and a slideshow?

Yes. A microphone is included, and the First Floor, Upper Level and Lounge have a projector or TVs with HDMI input.

Where do guests park, and is it near the hotels?

In the garage at The HUB at 3 Crossings next door, or on the street. The Warehouse is in the Strip District, a short ride from Downtown hotels and the Convention Center.

Is the Warehouse accessible?

Yes. Step-free entrance, an elevator to the Upper Level and private restrooms.

Can we host a farewell brunch the next day?

Yes. Daytime dates are wide open and book at the Sunday-to-Thursday rate; the Patio and the Lounge suit a brunch best.

What happens after I send the inquiry?

You get the rehearsal dinners packet by email, menus included, and our Event Coordinator follows up to hold a date and walk the space with you.
