Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum, Pittsburgh

We had both our wedding ceremony and reception at Soldiers and Sailors, and it was absolutely stunning all around! The ceremony on the front patio was everything I'd hoped it would be, and the ballroom upstairs was just beautiful! The coordinator we worked with (Angela) was EXTREMELY helpful and very communicative, and answered all of my questions very quickly along the way. I knew our day was in good hands with her! This is the perfect venue because both the patio and ballroom can be dressed up or kept simple, and you can't go wrong either way. It was the perfect size for us, and I wouldn't change a thing! HIGHLY recommend this venue for anyone looking for a classy, elegant venue!

This is one of my favorite locations in Oakland. Not only does it have a great concert hall that is great for all events, but it also has a great view of the Cathedral of learning. I like to come here to sketch and paint because the lawn is very quiet and relaxing. This is a great place to come to study, get some fresh air, and get away from a busy wife. Definitely consider spending some time here if you’ve never been to this venue.

Soldiers and Sailors was a great location to work with for my wedding reception (held in the ballroom/balcony area)! I worked with Angela from the very beginning who was an awesome communicator when it came to the various questions that I asked. The space itself is absolutely beautiful and overall doesn't take much decorating to enhance its beauty. Our guests also had fun looking at the Museum during cocktail hour! Soldiers & Sailors has you choose from a list of vendors for your different wedding needs that know how to successfully run a reception in the building. This made many decisions easy!

Visited during a recent trip to Pittsburgh and while I am not someone uniquely interested in military history, I enjoyed my visit and found the exhibits fascinating. The building is striking from a distance and the auditorium is as impressive as you would imagine.

Hello , this is an edited review.....Soldiers and Sailors built in 1908 , is a classic designated and celebrated landmark, in Oakland/ Pittsburgh, Pa.. I am here for a wedding reception. It has a beautiful , large hall, old style design, on the third floor.. on the 1st floor is an auditorium, and walking clockwise in the hall that surrounds it are the Historical displays, Starting with the Gettysburg room , Civil War , and each up.. There are Naval displays, including a huge model of the Battle Cruiser USS Pittsburgh no 72..There are Aviation displays , Army , Marine, Civil War, WW1, WW2, Korean, Vietnam Wars, up to the Gulf War.. It doesn't cost anything. We came for wedding reception and we're encouraged to walk around a view the displays until everything was ready.. Very nice people here!!! I'd you ever get a chance you have to stop in.. There is underground parking on the side street between Fifth Ave and Bigelow Blvd. Which was a plus!! Just going to show pictures of banquet hall. I don't want to spoil it for you on the beautiful displays..PS.. after reading some of the not so nice reveiws, I decided to show some pictures.. again.. this is a Historical place , that should be visited. When you walk in and view the exhibits, you get a sense of the enormity of these historical wars.. many precious lives lost to preserve freedom.. God Bless Keith.. Thank you to the owners for a very kind response!!!
