Schedule
Please join us for a special Labor Day weekend in Pittsburgh. Our wedding will take place on Saturday, the 2nd — but we hope you'll join us on Friday and Sunday for some additional fun in the City of Bridges.
Friday
12–2pm
Lunch at Primanti Bros (optional)
Joe Primanti invented this Pittsburgh-favorite sandwich during the Great Depression. The classic Primanti sandwich has both coleslaw and french fries on top of the sandwich. The Strip District location is the original shop, steeped in Pittsburgh history. You can walk off your sandwich on Smallman Street afterwards.

Explore Pittsburgh!
We have a long list of suggestions, including the Warhol Museum, visiting Carnegie Mellon's beautiful campus, or shopping.
Pro tip: If you are looking for an amazing dinner before drinks, we recommend making a reservation at Casbah, Mad Mex, or Muddy Waters.
8pm–12am
Welcome Drinks!
Join us at the Livermore from 8:00pm. There will be a cash bar, in a fun, casual setting, right around the corner from the Ace Hotel. Dress code, casual.

Pirates vs. Reds
Take me out to the ballgame! Hannah’s hometown Pirates are playing Ryan’s family’s team, the Reds. We pre-purchased a block of seats so that we can all sit together. Wanna join? Please sign up here to reserve your ticket.
PNC Park
7pm–you win
Poker Night (optional)
Hannah’s dad is a known figure in the poker room at the Rivers Casino. He’ll take anyone along who wants to play, for a $50 tournament. You’ll meet some yinzers for sure.

The Gym
The wedding ceremony and reception dinner will both be held in the Ace Hotel's iconic gym. After dinner, there will also be drinks and dancing.
Drawing from the heritage of YMCA and the building itself, the gym is the hotel's central gathering place. It offers style, grace and a nostalgic nod to the sporting history of Pittsburgh. And since Ryan's dad is a basketball coach, it serves as a fitting venue for such a special occasion.
