It was such a pleasure to work with Sandy, Jill and Kayla in making the arrangements. All we had to do was select our food, explain our vision, agree to date and time, and sign our contract! They made it so easy for us. The night of the event, everything ran pretty smoothly. The food was excellent, the service exemplary, and a beautiful atmosphere with a lovely ambiance. Taylin, Hanna, and Alayna, along with the entire staff were so attentive but more importantly fun to interact with and the service couldn't have been better. They all contributed to a magical evening and experience. Thank you all so much. I highly recommend them for staging any special event, or any event for that matter!

I attended a wedding here as a bridesmaid. The event coordinator, Jill, was unpleasant from the…read moreget-go. When our bride was hungry, we asked for food recommendation. She encouraged us not to get food from anywhere else and to "wait it out" for 2 - 3 hours until dinner. The kind bartender offered us crackers and oranges which is all she could do, but was very sympathetic. There were also 3 very SNIDE remarks from her to various people, one was to the photographer, about how the bride "didn't get a rehearsal dinner so (she) has no idea what's going on." Let me be clear, we are all very pleasant and easy going people who have ALL worked various service industry jobs. This set the tone for the rest of the night. Jill failed to do her job of making sure the bride was unseen by guests MULTIPLE times. She also told us, although it was discussed previously, that someone would be able to drive the bride to the entrance of the ceremony area. We were then told it would be impossible, as the car would be seen in photos? There was no argument back, but as we were taking photos, we realized the car would have never been in the photos in the first place. Jill is keeping this nasty attitude. The night goes on, at a steady pace, which did not seem fast enough for Jill. Everything felt rushed, and multiple times Jill was seen rolling her eyes and tapping her feet. Why do you have this job if you lack patience for someone's special day? The icing on the cake for me was the bartending experience. There was a tip jar for cash tips, and a Venmo scan code. The kicker of the Venmo scan code is that the code went to JILL! The wedding COORDINATOR! NOT the bartender! That was absolutely the last straw for me. The bartender was the only person who cared about the wedding and wedding party. Insane that Jill feels entitled to ANY of her tips. The bartender assured me they split them at the end of the night... but for what? The coordinator was NOT behind the bar, was NOT serving drinks. As a matter of fact, she was serving only one thing : major attitude and annoyance. 915 rolls around and Jill is cleaning up everything. The beautiful table my bride neatly put together, all thrown on a tray before the DJ is even done. If your drink as unattended while on the dance floor it was in the trash, and 915 is last call so there's no chance to get another. My bride had a beautiful day, but I would NEVER recommend this place to ANYONE. The ONLY shining star was the sweet bartender, who truly deserves better. Edited to add: my husband just told me about how the chairs during the ceremony were PAINTED! So when everyone stood up they had huge white chalk like marks all over their pants and dresses. This actually forced people to sit on rocks during the ceremony. Another edit: no charcuterie board to the men's suite, and the DATE WAS WRONG ON THEIR BACKDROP (see picture!!!) when brought to Jill's attention, she said "well I'll HAVE to make a whole nother one if you want it fixed" what??? I would be SICK TO MY STOMACH if I messed that up. WOW. The more we discuss the night the more we all have to add. I'm sure this will not be the last edit.

I was extremely disappointed with the Mother's Day brunch experience this year. My family and I had…read morevisited before and absolutely loved the atmosphere and food, which is why I encouraged my family to celebrate here for Mother's Day. Unfortunately, this visit was nothing like our previous experiences. This was not a cheap brunch, yet it lacked some of the most basic brunch offerings -- no omelet station, no waffles, pancakes, or the variety that was offered in the past. The food overall was very disappointing and nowhere near worth the price. What made it even worse was the dessert area. Once desserts ran out, they were never refilled, and several members of my family never even had the chance to try them. For the amount charged, this is unacceptable. I even asked the host about the omelet station they used to offer and was told it was removed because the lines would get too long. That is not a good excuse. Other brunch places like Grand Concourse still manage to offer omelet stations, waffle stations, eggs, meats, and much more at a similar or even lower price point. I left embarrassed and disappointed after recommending this place to my family for such a special occasion. Sadly, we will not be returning, and I would not recommend this brunch experience to others looking for a quality Mother's Day celebration.

1 Star - Deeply Disappointed in Our Experience at Core Event Center (Irwin, PA)…read more Our organization, the Hempfield Spartan Youth Football and Cheer program, hosted our annual banquet at Core Event Center in Irwin (100 Colony Dr.), and unfortunately, the experience was incredibly disappointing from start to finish. The evening before our event, we were informed by the event coordinator, Joe, that our setup time would be delayed from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM. While inconvenient, we adjusted and rearranged our delivery and setup plans accordingly. However, when we arrived at 9:00 AM the next morning, all doors were locked. After multiple calls, we learned that the chef -- who was responsible for letting us in -- had overslept. We weren't able to access the building until 9:30 AM, which significantly cut into our already limited setup time. Upon entering, we discovered the banquet hall was still filled with leftover decorations and items from the previous event, and the seating layout did not match the floor plan we had been provided. Instead of immediately setting up for our event, our volunteers had to spend valuable time cleaning and rearranging the room ourselves. Once the event began, things continued to go downhill. We had clearly communicated that our event would include both adult buffets and a kids' buffet (chicken tenders, mac & cheese, corn dog nuggets, and penne pasta), since this was primarily a children's event for ages 5-11. When it was time to eat, there was no kids' buffet provided. Only two adult buffets were set out, and when the children didn't eat the food offered, much of it was wasted. By the time many parents reached the buffet line, the food had already run out -- just 30 minutes into service -- leaving several tables of guests without meals at all. In addition, soda and nonalcoholic drink stations were not maintained, leaving the kids with limited options unless they stood in line at the bar. This created unnecessary confusion and frustration for both families and staff. To make matters worse, when concerns were brought up to management, rather than offering a sincere apology or meaningful resolution, we were met with excuses about miscommunication, staffing, and scheduling. The owner did not take accountability and instead offered to "take money off" by removing items (like chair covers) that were already supposed to be included in our package. As a nonprofit organization that works tirelessly to create special experiences for our athletes and families, this entire situation was extremely disappointing. What should have been a joyful celebration turned stressful and disorganized due to poor management and planning. We truly hope Core Event Center takes this feedback seriously and improves its communication, reliability, and professionalism moving forward. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend this venue for large group events or banquets.

Ralph, the owner was great and very helpful. He permitted us to get in the day before to set up and decorate and the day of, the girls were able to go in at 9:00 am to spend the day getting ready in the spacious bathroom/dressing area. We set up for a little over 150 people. The tables are round and can fit 10 at each. There was plenty of space for the guests and a cute sweetheart table, DJ (Chris Moore-he is the best) and the food was in a separate room from the guests. Ralph helped with finding the caterer (manor grill which was fantastic too) as well as the bartenders (also great). Ralph helped us all with the ceremony since none of us were sure what to do! He was there for every part of the evening. Everything went perfect. I highly recommend this venue.

Parking wasn't bad - we found something across the steeet (on street parking). There's also a lot behind the place. I'm guessing this fills up, fast, but we got there fairly early. They opened the doors on time - at 7pm - and we weren't in line too long waiting for our ID check and wrist band (they could use more than *one* poor guy doing this, btw). I don't love this segregated/upcharge thing most venues seem to be doing nowadays, but at least the general admission SRO areas in this place have decent views. We grabbed a spot just behind the sound/lighting guys in the middle of the GA area. One note --- our friends who bought into the standing area right by the stage ended up joining us 1/2 way through, because they said the audio was blasting them. The place is nicely restored; has a good bar area with a better drink selection than many places we've tried in Pittsburgh. Hubs & I each got a hazy IPA, and he also got a big pretzel (which was ok - a bit too doughy for my taste). WOWZER those 3 things were expensive: **$43**!!! We decided to consider it a donation, so places like this can stay open, but oooffff. $$$$$$$$ Sound, lights were great. Staff were friendly. We'll definite be back.
