We had the most perfect winter wedding at Oglebay, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From start to finish, everything was absolutely flawless. The venue itself was stunning, with the winter setting adding the perfect touch of magic to our day. The food was fantastic—our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! The bar was kept busy all night, but the staff never missed a beat, ensuring that everyone had what they needed. They served our guests promptly and efficiently, and every detail was handled with such care. Oglebay -especially our wedding coordinator, Lauren, truly went above and beyond to make our day special, and we are so grateful for their incredible service.

From the moment we booked Chanteclaire Farm for our wedding, the team there was punctual, professional, and truly caring throughout the entire process. The venue itself is gorgeous, with a cozy and eclectic atmosphere that made all of our guests feel right at home. They went above and beyond to help us with last minute changes to the seating arrangements, and even took us around in their golf cart to capture stunning sunset photos on the hilltop. We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day, and we are so grateful to the Chanteclaire team for making it all possible.

We loved the venue, it had everything we were looking for. A beautiful venue, amazing wine, a beautiful place for our bridal party to stay on site for the weekend. Our day was truly beautiful. Jacque and Amanda did wonders to make everything flow, have our decor set up perfectly, communicating/assisting our vendors, and capturing how beautiful our day was. Early on in the planning we heard a bad review of the catering for Bella Terra and had expressed our concerns with the caterer and vendor. We had also received different quotes/menus from Elegant which made this process confusing. However, Bella Terra handed all of the remaining communication and the final product was excellent. The only true problem that had with our planning process was the lack of price transparency. The initial quote that we received was a pretty big jump from what the final price. We understand that decisions change through this process and we added/removed some options, but we were set from our first meeting despite our interest in the ceremony on site, open bar, cake cutting, and family style; which was not added in total to our quote until 1 month before. Payments kept getting bigger, estimates were never accurate with # of guests/what should be included vs not. Be sure that you are clear and keeping track of all of the add on's and requesting a updated quote/contract throughout. We did not have a correct estimate/contract until 2 weeks before the wedding... We were told throughout that we make payments on a credit card, but there will be a extra charge. We had used our debit acct for all previous payments but anticipated to make the final payment via credit card. It was a shock to learn that apparently we could not make the final payment via credit card? I asked them about this, if it was a misunderstanding and never had a clear answer as to why. We were lucky enough to be able to pull the final payment via ACH. However, if you do not have the cost of any upcharges in your account I have no idea what you would do. Expect upcharges, the cost per person is reasonable but everything is a la carte. We did opt for the open bar, which in reality was not necessary. When you host at a vineyard your guests do not think to order liquor unless you have a signature drink. Our day was truly beautiful and I will never forget it. But the stress and anxiety that built during the planning process could have been avoided if they had more time to iron our organization/ time for communication (they are also a business/restaurant though to just keep in mind). I will always look at our photos and just wish that day was longer. I cannot stop talking about how beautiful that day was, but I think going in and being sure to iron out the few speed bumps we had you will truly have a beautiful day.

Alla Famiglia 
Pittsburgh, PA
  • Up to 230 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $1,400

Alla Famiglia was started in 1997. Another fine Italian restaurant created from the mind of David Ayn. In 2005, Ayn approached a young & ambitious chef Jonathan Vlasic to purchase the 8-table restaurant from him. Mr. Vlasic was a perfect fit to receive the baton and move the restaurant into a new future. Alla Famiglia has evolved into a restaurant which is a representation of the years of formal culinary training of Mr.Vlasic and his family of Roman&Emilia descent. The result was an eatery of superior quality with disciplined technique, vivid imagination, and passion for perfection. Through the next 14 years, the restaurant evolves, expands and stretches its footprint to accommodate its increasing popularity and growing demand. In 2014, Mr. Vlasic decides to purchase the property adjacent to the restaurant and bring his vision to a full circle. “Il Teatro” is born in the winter of 2017. It is now reinvented into its original depression art deco-era for Alla Famiglia guests to enjoy.
