As a north of Pittsburgh wedding photographer, I have had lots of opportunity to get to know available event venues north of the city, in locations including: Cranberry Township, Mars, Wexford, Zelienople, Harmony, Warrendale, Butler, and Renfrew. A common question I am asked by friends, family, and clients is: what bridal shower or baby shower event spaces are available north of the city?

Thankfully, there are so many great options to chose from with a variety of price ranges and accommodations! Today, I’m going to share a few of my favorites that I’ve come across. This is by no means a completely comprehensive list, but certainly features a variety of different spots. I’ve worked events at some of these locations, and others I have only heard about, but all have their own unique features with their common thread being rentable spaces north of Pittsburgh.

With each venue listed below, I’ve listed approximately how many guests can be accommodated, if the space is indoor or outdoor, and other important notes. Each venue listed is linked to their website with additional information, including points of contact if you would like to learn more.

I hope this list is helpful to you as you plan your special event! And if you’re in need of any event photography coverage, please feel free to reach out to me by clicking here or by emailing me directly at jhidingerphotography@gmail.com. I would love to work with you!
