Venue

Parking & Transportation

Parking

  • Street parking: Available throughout the Mexican War Streets neighborhood—look for spots on Sampsonia Way, Monterey Street, and surrounding blocks
  • Note: The parking lot directly adjacent to the Mattress Factory (505 Sampsonia Way) is being used for the ceremony and is not available for guest parking.
  • Note: Some residential streets require permits, but most nearby blocks are open for visitors

Getting Around

  • Rideshare: Uber and Lyft are widely available and affordable—the North Side is just minutes from downtown and most Pittsburgh neighborhoods
  • From downtown: A quick 5–10 minute ride across the bridge
  • No shuttle: We won't be running a shuttle, but there are plenty of nearby lodging options within walking distance or a short ride

Dress Code

Dressy casual — wear something that makes you feel good!

Think autumn colors and comfortable layers. Part of the celebration will be outdoors, so plan for October weather in Pittsburgh.

Skip the jeans and sneakers, but no need for anything too formal—leave the tuxedos and ball gowns at home.

Accessibility

  • The main building at 500 Sampsonia is fully wheelchair accessible via elevator
