Emily and Garrett’s elegant affair was epic in a million ways, but still managed to retain a distinctly refined air that’s difficult to find in most weddings of this size. The venue ceilings were sky-high, the bride’s train was ample, and the dance floor was bumpin’! To help make this wedding a smash hit, the couple employed the help of The John Parker Band.
The talented team at Araujo Photography was gracious enough to give us these breathtaking photos of the bride and groom’s big day. Take a peek!
The bride and groom were wed on the epic staircase of the Renaissance Hotel lobby, giving family members the perfect view of the union above. Light shined down on the couple from the giant windows, granting even more symbolic meaning to this already heartfelt ceremony. What a view!
The reception took place in the hotel’s giant ballroom. The space was immaculately decorated. From the classic glass tableware to the towering centerpieces bursting with Hydrangeas, no detail was left untouched! Everything looked and ran as planned thanks to Christine Zimmick, a Renaissance Hotel Social Catering Sales Manager who took charge of making the magic happen!

The versatile tunes played by the John Parker Band only further ramped up this classy celebration, contributing to the unforgettable ambiance of this refined evening!

Amy and Patrick exchanged their vows on the Renaissance Hotel Pittsburgh‘s grand staircase. The luminous white walls, sweeping archways, opulent domed ceiling skylight, and bright red carpet only added to the magnificence of this magical moment!
The Renaissance’s glittering second floor ballroom dazzled the couples and guests alike, courtesy of the hotel’s gifted event coordinator Katy Simovski. The wedding celebration had a distinctly romantic atmosphere thanks to the space’s moody chandeliers and candle-lit tea lights. Finely polished silver and flourishing – yet modest – centerpieces added a few final sophisticated touches to the room.
