Looking for an indoor reception venue in Pittsburgh with outstide catering for about 350 guests

I've searched high and low for an indoor reception venue (in or around Pittsburgh) that can accommodate about 350 wedding guests  and have found nothing This is a cultural wedding so it'll have to be a place that permits outside catering because the food will be cultural cuisine. We want somewhere like a banquet hall that is traditional, nice and classy. Any suggestions? Please help!!!

I'm actually a Pittsburgh bride. Well, a Greensburg bride, but same area. The only place you'll find 350+ in Pittsburgh or around would be hotels. Marriott I know can hold that many, but the catering is done through them. Also, the Pittsburgh Zoo does receptions, not sure on how many they hold though and once again, I'm pretty sure the catering is done by them. You most likely won't find a place that allows that many people and outside catering. Caterers can work with you though to provide the food you want. My suggestion, look for a place that would hold that many then talk food and see if they can do what you want. I know Stratego's (Irwin) can hold that many people but it is expensive (like 25,000 for 300 people) but that includes food and drink.

This is an international board - you might also want to post on your local board as well. Good luck!
