Imagine finding a wedding venue that feels like it was made just for you—a place with both beautiful outdoor and cozy indoor ceremony options, so when your mother-in-law inevitably asks, “But what if it rains?” you can finally smile and say, “We’ve got it covered.” Picture the relief of not having to make a million separate decisions, because from the very beginning, the experienced wedding coordinator at Kittanning Country Club is right there to guide you. They’ll help you find trusted vendors, map out your day, and make the planning feel manageable and even fun. It’s the kind of venue where you can fully exhale, knowing the little details are taken care of so you can focus on what really matters—marrying your best friend.
Every time a couple tells me they’ve booked Kittanning Country Club for their wedding, I light up. Not just because it’s a beautiful venue tucked into the hills of Armstrong County—but because it feels like coming home. This is where my own wedding took place, and every time I return, I’m reminded of how special this place is.
As a Greater Pittsburgh wedding photographer, I’ve had the chance to work at so many venues across the region, but Kittanning Country Club holds a unique charm. It's a true hidden gem just north of Pittsburgh, with all the warmth of a small-town venue and the flexibility of a full-service space. Located just off Route 28 and only 15 minutes from Sarver, it’s incredibly easy for guests to find, but once you’re there, it feels like you’re in your own little world.
From a photographer’s perspective, it’s an absolute dream. There are so many beautiful locations for portraits—lush green fairways, tree-lined walkways, and charming nooks that catch the light just right. Whether you’re planning an outdoor ceremony or an indoor celebration, there’s no shortage of stunning backdrops. The venue flows naturally between spaces, making it easy to create a timeline that feels relaxed and unhurried.
One of the things couples love most about Kittanning Country Club is how many parts of the wedding day can be held right on-site. The venue now features a gorgeous new patio area, perfect for hosting cocktail hour while guests take in the scenery. This addition adds an elevated touch to the day and creates a natural transition between your ceremony and reception.
Inside, the reception space is filled with natural light thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows. It’s elegant yet welcoming—an ideal space for dinner, dancing, and of course, the beloved Western Pennsylvania cookie table tradition. The room is spacious, adaptable, and filled with opportunity to make it your own.
The main reception hall is made even more magical by the glow of string lights that twinkle overhead, creating a warm, romantic ambiance for your celebration. At the heart of the room, the stone fireplace adds a cozy, elegant touch—and makes the perfect backdrop for your sweetheart table. It’s the kind of setting that feels intimate and grand all at once.
One of the biggest conveniences Kittanning Country Club offers is the ability for both the bride and groom to get ready on-site. There’s no need to coordinate multiple getting-ready locations or worry about travel time cutting into your schedule. Hair and makeup teams can come right to the venue, making your morning feel relaxed and seamless. And yes—while the girls are getting pampered, we can also keep track of the groom and groomsmen! Whether they’re hanging out on the patio, tying ties in the locker room, or sneaking in a quick toast, it’s easy to capture both sides of the morning without missing a beat.
And let’s talk about the team. The coordinator at Kittanning Country Club is truly a standout. She goes above and beyond not just for couples, but for vendors, too. As a wedding photographer, I’ve worked with a lot of venue teams, and I can say the experience here is seamless every time. When the vendor team and the venue are in sync, it makes everything smoother—for your timeline, your stress level, and the overall energy of the day.
One of my favorite photo spots on the property is the romantic wooden bridge. No matter the season—lush and green in summer, golden in fall, or dusted with snow in winter—it always delivers a beautiful, timeless backdrop for portraits. It's tucked just far enough away to feel private and peaceful, giving couples a quiet moment together in the midst of the celebration. Whether we're sneaking away for a first look or slipping out for golden hour portraits, that bridge is always part of the magic.
If you're searching for a Greater Pittsburgh wedding venue that offers timeless charm, convenience, and a personal touch, Kittanning Country Club deserves a spot at the top of your list. Whether you're planning a wedding from Pittsburgh, Sarver, or right here in Armstrong County, it combines everything you need in one accessible, meaningful location.
