The Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium offer a once-in-a-lifetime experience for couples holding weddings in Pittsburgh. Elegant, beautiful and filled with animals (and we’re not talking about your guests), the zoo and PPG Aquarium have space for up to 300 guests, depending on the location chosen.
As a Pittsburgh wedding DJ, we love pulling into 7370 Baker Street in Pittsburgh, PA because we know that everyone, us included, is going to have an amazing time.
Three Vibrant Spaces for Couples and Their Guests
Couples and their guests can enjoy three main spaces where the party can last for four hours.
PPG Aquarium
Love aquatic life? None of the Pittsburgh wedding venues that we’ve been a part of offer an experience quite like this. Couples and guests party to the backdrop of cascading waterfalls and a lush rainforest.
Ceremonies can be held among the wild backdrop, and there’s room for 200 seated guests.
A shuttle bus is provided to bring guests to the venue to eliminate long walks, especially for older couples or their parents.
At the Water’s Edge
A personal favorite of ours is Water’s Edge, which has space for 140 seated guests and a lot of sea life. An awesome opportunity to take pictures, Water’s Edge has an underwater experience where couples are often seen posing surrounded by a tunnel of sea life.
The coastal village has sea otters, sea lions, elephant seals and polar bears, making for a wild night of adventure.
Or Perhaps the Garden Tent?
Don’t want to disturb the aquatic life? Bring the party to the Garden Tent, which is a massive outdoor venue that oozes elegance at every turn. Guests are surrounded by botanical gardens and lavish foliage as up to 300 guests gather around the space.
Beautiful string lights hang down from the tent’s canopy and allow for the perfect ambiance when taking wedding pictures.
Bringing Down the House with a Faint Sound of Waterfalls in the Background
Guests enjoy bar service, laughs and stunning scenery, but as a wedding DJ in Pittsburgh, it’s up to us to bring the party. We love the openness of each space, and it’s a little different from most venues in the Pittsburgh area.
Why?
Waterfalls. The waterfalls are an amazing opportunity to take pictures and to soak in the nature that surrounds you. But as a DJ, we have to compete with the noise – it's quite loud. For some couples, they want us to crank up the music to drown out the waterfall.
Others, they love the waterfalls and want to have the noise level just right so that you can hear the faint sound of the water crashing down the rocks.
For us, we’re here to please and make the couple’s special day unforgettable.
Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium are truly a one-of-a-kind experience where guests have the opportunity to explore the zoo and aquarium in a way that general admission doesn’t offer. Guests can explore the tropical rainforest or rush up to the upper floor to take pictures as we fill the venue with the couple’s playlist.
Final Wedding Thoughts
We just wanted to say that we love what we do. Being a part of the best day of a couple’s life is something you can’t get in any other line of work. From wedding photography and videography to wedding DJing and MCing, we’ve been involved in many capacities in many, many Pittsburgh weddings. With the coming year, we’re looking forward to being involved in many, many more!
