Planning details
How booking, timing, vendors and the day itself work.
Booking and payments
The venue fee is due when you sign your agreement; an outdoor cocktail hour can be added up to two weeks before your date. A non-refundable deposit is due six months before your wedding, or when you sign if your date is sooner. Final payment is due five business days before.
Menu and tasting
You and up to four guests are invited to a complimentary tasting, and your coordinator will share the schedule. Final menu choices are due at least 30 days before your wedding.
Timing
Events at Wintergarden can start at 8 a.m. and must end by 11 p.m. Vendors, decorators and deliveries can arrive up to four hours before your start time.
Linens and seating
Floor-length linens in your choice of color for every dining table, with white, ivory or black napkins. High-top tables, banquet tables, chiavari chairs, china, flatware and stemware are included. Upgraded linens are available.
Staffing
All event staff are included, with at least one server for every 25 guests and one bartender for every 50 at seated events. Your sales manager handles the planning, and our operations team runs the day.
Cake and cookies
All food and drink is prepared by Wintergarden and enjoyed at the venue, except your wedding cake and cookies, which you may bring in and take home. The cookie table setup includes the table, linens and risers, with your cookies arranged on trays.
Your vendors
Every vendor you hire follows Wintergarden’s procedures for setup, loading hours, fire codes and noise, and their names and contact details go to your event coordinator. Vendors must be insured, licensed in Pennsylvania where applicable, and provide two certificates of insurance naming HRLP Fourth Avenue, LLC and Bottleneck Management, Inc. as additional insured. Discounted vendor meals are available; the count is due with your final guest count.
Alcohol
All alcohol is served by Wintergarden’s trained staff, who ask for photo ID from anyone who may be under 21 and may decline service to anyone underage, without ID or who appears intoxicated.
Decor and entertainment
Bring in your own decor and decorator, and our staff set up the room as planned with you. DJs, bands and other entertainment are welcome; plan power and placement with your event coordinator. Open-flame candles need a permit and inspection from the Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire. Everything brought in, including gifts and cards, leaves right after the event.
