About

On WeddingWire since 2007

Children's Museum of Pittsburgh is a wedding and event venue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Boasting award-winning architecture, it's a wining property for your happily ever after.

Facilities and Capacity

Children's Museum of Pittsburgh is home to varied spaces, including the Big Red Room, Backyard, and MuseumLab. Originally built in 1893, the MuseumLab is a work of art, considering that it still retains that old world charm. From the archways to the columns to the windows to the mosaic tile floors, the ruin-like aesthetic are sure to make a lasting impression. With a total of 17,600 sq. ft, the capacity reads as 700 guests for full hire. But if you'd rather just book a single space, the third floor of MuseumLab will not disappoint. With exposed brick walls and arched windows, up to 200 guests can be accommodated in this assembly hall and gathering space. The Grable Gallery is yet another option worth looking into, especially if your guest list is somewhere between 60 and 150. Featuring a laser-cut ceiling installation, it's a backdrop for the most enviable photographs.

Services Offered

Children's Museum of Pittsburg has exclusively partnered up with suppliers and caterers to make your dream wedding a reality. For a full list and any other inquiries, you can contact the Special Events Manager. Free parking is also available at the property. However it's limited to 160 spaces and operates on a first-come, first serve basis.

Beautiful wedding venue with rich history!

The MuseumLab was an absolutely incredible backdrop for our wedding! We booked this venue during covid and they went out of their way to give us a tour of the space over zoom before we decided. That’s just one of the ways Allyson and her team went out of their way to make this process as seamless as possible. I must have sent dozens of emails with questions and Allyson responded to them all within a day. She also coordinated the arrival and set up of all our other vendors and make sure our rehearsal ran smoothly. Throughout the night, Allyson worked with us to accommodate any last minute adjustments and timing changes. I received so many comments from our guests about how beautiful and unique the space was, and the separate spaces for the ceremony and reception helped make each part of the event really special!

Perfectly Paired Pop-Up Wedding! MuseumLabs

My husband and I did the Perfectly Paired Pop-Up wedding at Museum Labs. This venue was absolutely gorgeous! Our event took place in the Assembly Hall and the Gathering Space. The entire location is amazing for pictures, there is so much character here! I loved the exposed brick. The room where our ceremony took place was brick with beautiful windows giving so much natural light and made for amazing pictures. The room was beautiful enough, all we needed was the arch with florals. We worked with Jenna from MuseumLabs and she was wonderful! She was so helpful and responsive! I would 100% recommend this beautiful venue to everyone, especially if there is another Pop-Up wedding here!

Wonderful Staff and Unique Space

We were scheduled to have our wedding in the beautiful MuseumLab space in May of 2020. We unfortunately ended up postponing and eventually cancelling due to COVID-19. However, I still wanted to give a shout out to Jenna at the MuseumLab for her flexibility and understanding throughout the process. My fiancé and I were both super impressed by her preparedness and organization at our first meeting to tour the space, and we leave the experience feeling even more impressed by her compassion and graciousness when we were forced to postpone and cancel. The building is stunning, spacious, and filled with character, but the real reason to book the MuseumLab for your wedding is the fabulous customer service.
