Scottish Rite Cathedral

Few venues in the region carry the scale and architectural presence of Scottish Rite Cathedral. The exterior alone signals that the setting will be dramatic, and once inside, the historic detailing and sheer size of the rooms create an atmosphere that feels formal and memorable.
The main event spaces are expansive, with high ceilings and defined architectural lines that naturally frame key moments throughout the evening. The layout supports a large guest count and a full dance floor while still keeping introductions and toasts visually centered. It is a room that makes an impression without requiring heavy transformation.
Because of the scale and acoustics of the building, thoughtful sound placement ensures music and spoken moments carry clearly throughout the space. When coordinated well, the evening transitions smoothly from a polished dinner into an energetic celebration.
Below is a look at how a wedding at the Scottish Rite Cathedral comes together once the celebration is underway.

K’rin and Victor (Scottish Rite Cathedral)

When it comes to wedding reception decorations , I’m all about the little touches that help make everything feel so personal and unique.  K’rin and Victor included some fantastic elements which perfectly matched their style.  Their wedding and celebration were held at the Scottish Rite Cathedral in New Castle, PA.

Their ceremony was held in the lobby of the Cathedral and the light coming through the big windows was stunning.

Of all their customized details, my favorite would be their one of a kind cake topper.  K’rin and Vic also had me create a custom, winter themed monogram for the dance floor, which turned out great!

K’rin and Vic were so fun to work with.  They had a super-relaxed attitude about their big day, and focused on the chance to enjoy every moment.  They chose great music to include throughout the night, but also let anyone request the songs they’d like to hear.  They had a wonderful day that allowed them to create lasting memories with their friends and family.
