Heinz Memorial Chapel is a little camera-shy (for now).

Our local photographers haven't added photos from here yet. If you're getting married here, say the word and we'll round them up. Nothing gets a photographer moving like a couple who has already booked the place.

About Heinz Memorial Chapel

A wedding at Heinz Memorial Chapel takes place under stone vaults and some of the most celebrated stained glass in Pittsburgh, on the University of Pittsburgh campus in Oakland. The chapel's 23 windows hold nearly 250,000 pieces of glass, and the tall chancel windows rise behind you while you say your vows. For wedding photos and video, the chapel gives your photographer and videographer clear places to work: the base of the chancel steps for the processional and the rings, the side aisles, the back of the center aisle and the gallery.

You don't need any Pitt connection to get married here. Heinz Chapel welcomes every faith, interfaith couples and LGBTQ+ couples, and you bring your own officiant. Your reservation includes a rehearsal, two chapel wedding coordinators, a chapel organist who plays a prelude and your processional and recessional, and reserved parking along South Bellefield Avenue with a police officer directing cars. The chapel seats about 350, and each of you has a separate lounge for the final minutes before the ceremony.

Around 200 weddings a year take place here, so time is set: about an hour and fifteen minutes covers the wedding ceremony and your wedding pictures inside. Once guests have left after the recessional, your photographer can begin portraits in the chapel. For your wedding film, the organ fills the room, and the chapel's sound system and microphones help the vows carry. Your reception is elsewhere; couples who book the University Club for it get the chapel's ceremony fee waived.

Check the chapel's wedding calendars for open dates and book a venue tour.
Submit your ceremony and music forms at least two months ahead.
Share the chapel's photography and videography guidelines with your vendors, and plan your wedding day timeline around your access time.

A little about Heinz Memorial Chapel

Built as a family memorial gift to the university, the chapel was begun in 1933, in the depths of the Depression, and was dedicated in November 1938; it has never belonged to any denomination.
