Military Ceremonies
Soldiers & Sailors is proud to offer complimentary space for service members and organizations to host enlistment, reenlistment, commissioning, promotion, retirement and change of command ceremonies, pending availability of space. Please note that hosting non-ceremony related elements, such as an after party may result in rental fees.
Entertainment
Soldiers & Sailors reserves the right to approve or disapprove any entertainment offered at a special event to ensure that the nature of the gathering is in the best interest of the museum. The name and type of entertainment must be provided to the Rental Department prior to booking your entertainment.
Lighting, Sound and Media Services
Soldiers & Sailors includes a built in sound system as a part of both our auditorium and grand ballroom rental areas. A portable sound system is available for our patio, Gettysburg Room and Joseph A. Dugan, Jr. Hall of Valor. Outside systems cannot be plugged into these systems. Clients are required to contact and utilize our authorized sound and lighting vendors for any additional sound needs.
Security
Soldiers & Sailors will have special-event personnel on-site for event setup and breakdown. Certain special events will require security, including all events serving alcohol. If the client’s entertainment, speakers, VIPs, dignitaries or special guests have their own private security, the Rental Department must be notified. Failure to do so may result in individual(s) being refused admittance to the museum.
Parking
The museum does not own or operate the subsurface parking garage or street parking adjacent to its property. The City of Pittsburgh Parking Authority controls the street parking if variances are needed. The garage is operated by the University of Pittsburgh, but is publicly accessible via Bigelow Blvd, the side street to our right. For more information on the parking garage visit here.
