Wedding at World Cafe Live - An Eventective User from Pittsburgh, Pennyslvania

I had my wedding there last year, and it was great. It had a total rock and roll feel with not being too tacky or over-the-top, it was beautiful. The staff were nice and courteous with still fitting in the theme, the only thing I have to complain about was the food. The proportions were small and the food was sorta stale. They didn't allow outside catering so we just had to deal. Also the DJ didn't take requests, that would've been nice. Everything else was perfect. They had these cool almost disco ball-esque lights in different colors, and during our first dance they had a spotlight on us, it felt like we were the only two there. The venue was perfect in adhering to our needs and our wants, we wanted a big reception and they served us well. We had a whole section for the children, full of rock style video games (ie; rockband, guitar hero, DJ hero) and it was a hit, we had drinks and cookies shaped like guitars. We had an open bar for the adults and plenty of finger food for everyone. I can tell everyone had a blast. Even the kids! That's always a problem, kids getting bored, but at our wedding even they had a blast! There was no one who was sitting down or who looked like they had a bad time, no one even left early! We partied all night. It was the wedding of the century, and I would marry him there again in a heartbeat. All in all I give it a 9/10.
