The WBU

Tell us a little bit about your venue.

The WBU is a historic Pittsburgh venue with roots dating back to 1880. Our distinctive spaces include a character-filled ballroom with an original tin ceiling and horseshoe bar, a cozy first floor venue and speakeasy-style bar, a private wedding lounge, and an outdoor garden with a porch, fire pit, and city views. Couples can use each space to create a natural flow from getting ready to the final dance.

What makes your space unique?

WBU blends more than a century of history with a warm, relaxed atmosphere. Architectural details tell the story of the building, while our variety of indoor and outdoor spaces allows every celebration to feel personal. It’s full of vintage Pittsburgh character without feeling overly formal or stuffy.

What is your ideal client like?

Our ideal clients are couples who want their wedding to feel genuine, welcoming, and unmistakably their own. They appreciate historic character, thoughtful details, and a little creative freedom, and care most about bringing their favorite people together for a memorable celebration.

Rave Reviews

The WBU made a beautiful setting for the best evening of our lives. Natasha has curated a space that is a thoughtful mixture of elements from Pittsburgh's past, blending a heavier, industrial framework with touches of Gilded Age antiques and finishes that bring the space to life and round out its edges. The space was the perfect size for our 125 person wedding. On the day of, our coordinators made sure that everything was running smoothly. They were friendly and professional and very easy to work with. We so greatly appreciated the friendly and professional staff, the flexibility and access to the venue on the weekend of our wedding, and of course the beautiful setting for our ceremony and reception. Don't miss out on this great space!

My husband and I had our reception at The WBU and we have not one regret! The space is unique and so thoughtfully decorated with odes to its history. We had our ceremony off-site at a church, then cocktail hour in their first floor event space and reception in their ballroom upstairs. We had the perfect amount of space for our guest count of 150. Laura, their manager, was so lovely to work with. We noticed her attention to detail and genuine concern for our wedding vision from the very beginning. We highly recommend this venue!

Andrea & Tyler September 13, 2025

We could not have asked for a cooler, more fun, or easier experience! We had our wedding ceremony on the ground floor, our cocktail hour and reception in the ballroom upstairs, and our guests spent a lot of time on the porch and outside throughout the evening. This space is so delightfully Pittsburgh with it's interesting history and endearing location while maintaining a level of class and comfort that allowed for every type of guest at our wedding to be able to have the experience that they wanted. More than half of our 110 guests were attending from out of town, and they are still gushing weeks later about how charismatic the space was. Natasha, Jeremy, and everyone on the WBU team were so kind and organized every step of the way. They run a well oiled machine, and were dedicated to giving us the day that we had imagined. You will not be disappointed if you host an event here!
