Hi, me and my partner Andy recently got engaged. We live in DC, but are both originally from Pittsburgh, so I am in the process of planning a Pittsburgh wedding. Sometime in the next month or so we hope to drive up and start looking for a potential venue. However, I know we have some demands that might be hard to meet. It needs to be alternative (ie not looking for a church or religious wedding), affordable (hopefully under $1,000), capable of holding around 150 people, and preferably will allow an outside caterer.
I have been looking on-line and trying to google places but am not finding alot. The nice places we have found that might fit our need will not allow an outside caterer. Can this be done?
