Question

What is a cookie table?

Answer

A cookie table is an intrinsic part of the Pittsburgh wedding tradition. In addition to a cake there is usually a table full of cookies made by friends and family of the couple in advance of the reception. This tradition has roots in many of the immigrant cultures that moved to Pittsburgh. This tradition has spread from Pennsylvania to Eastern Ohio and parts of West Virginia.

Question

Won't it be cold?

Answer

Short answer? Maybe! Long answer? March is a fickle beast in Pittsburgh, it could be a beautiful spring day or it could snow. The ceremony will be held on the outdoor deck and will last no longer than 30 minutes and the rest of the event will take place indoors with heating. That being said check the weather and dress accordingly!

Question

Can we get off whenever we want?

Answer

As of right now, there will be two designated deboarding times. The first will be a courtesy docking approximately an hour before the end of the event for any that would like to leave early. The second will be at the end of the event, 10:15PM
