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.

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.

It's such a nice space, minimally decorated and pretty! You can visit for a tour by connecting with them and it's all self-serve. They'll email you a door code an hour before. That's the same process for your event day too - you get a social door code and you're set. Truly a great experience and will definitely be booking them again!

Also the complimets we heard is about the staff and we agree. The staff was not only quick and efficient, you had no idea that they were there. "how was my water glass never empty" was a comment we heard often. The space is also just beautiful and helped make our difficult day that much easier and memorable. Oh and out front of the building they had, on their sign, a message saying "Celebrating the life of (mom's name)". Nice touch.

The owners, Lenny and Dean and Amy, the Manager, were fantastic to work with and made the event everything we dreamed of. We felt very welcome throughout the planning. Cefalo's is a beautiful place to hold a wedding ceremony then dine on fantastic food cooked up by Dean and served by his staff in their dining room. After dinner, you can spend the rest of the evening partying the ballroom. They offer all the services, (or can recommend) you need when planning a wedding. For us and our guests, it was super convenient and easier to have everything for the wedding in one beautiful setting. The food, the hor's d'oeuvres, and entrees was amazing. There's also a huge bar attended by professional bartenders. The food servers were friendly, professional and very attentive. We received so many compliments from our guests on both the food and service. Many said that was the best food they ever had at a wedding! So, if you're looking for a top notch, First Class venue to have your wedding, look no further then Cefalos.

It's a brick and mortar for their mobile cocktail services to be used for prep, storage, etc. as well as a social club and bar. I've attended quite a few private events here and they have been out of this world! The owners, Lisa & Aubrey go above and beyond for their clientele. Whatever themed event or party you're having here, they've got ya covered with the finest cocktails and mocktails around. The establishment itself is a building that's been around for decades and the hip and quirky vibe is amplified with creative and kitschy art and decor. Everything is super clean, immaculate, even! Absolutely the highest quality and professionalism in the service industry. I wouldn't hesitate at all to host an event at Lo Places Social Club! The venue does have bar hours and they vary. It's my understanding that may change in the future but for now they're one of the best places in the surrounding Pittsburgh area to host a celebration.
