For those looking for a luxurious wedding venue in the heart of the city, the Duquesne Club’s courtyard is a captivating choice. The courtyard provides a picturesque backdrop for both wedding receptions and cocktail hours. With its large fountain and beautiful architecture, it’s a unique and romantic setting that can be customized to match your vision. Whether you prefer an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, this versatile space can accommodate your needs. I especially enjoy cocktail hours in the courtyard with a string musician – it’s a lovely combination!
Courtyard Wedding Receptions and Cocktail Hours
If you dream of a grand and opulent wedding reception, the Duquesne Club’s ballroom is the perfect choice. With its soaring ceilings, ornate chandeliers, and classic décor, the ballroom exudes timeless beauty. It is located on the 2nd floor of the Club, and is easy to access for guests from both the grand staircase and the elevators nearby.
The spacious layout allows for various seating arrangements, and the dance floor is ideal for those unforgettable moments on the dance floor. I think that bands work very well in this reception space. Every wedding with a band at the Duquesne Club that I’ve photographed has been really fun! The Duquesne Club’s staff will work closely with you to transform the ballroom into the wedding of your dreams.
You can also host a more intimate wedding reception dinner at the Duquesne Club. I've photographed numerous small events here including wedding dinners and birthday parties. They've got a space for every celebration.

The flexible spaces, including the courtyard and ballroom, can be customized to suit your specific needs. The club’s event planners are experts at designing seamless experiences for weddings of all sizes, ensuring that your vision becomes a reality. I’ve photographed large weddings in the ballroom and more intimate weddings in some of the other spaces – it is all beautiful!

I usually like to take my couples to a variety of locations around the Duquesne Club for wedding photos. To start, we will get pictures on the main staircase, as it's my most-requested photo from my couples at this venue.
I also LOVE to take pictures of my couples and their families inside of the reception ballroom at the Duquesne Club. It photographs so well, and it's very elegant. It makes for a great backdrop to the wedding day gallery.
Additionally, photos in the library and (if empty!) the dining room are really visually interesting and pretty. Great choices!
