Local Venues To Offer Services To Those Affected By Noah's Sudden Closing

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- With a local event center suddenly closing its doors, other area venues are rushing to offer their services to those in need.

Planning a wedding can be stressful, and, with Noah's Event Venues closing two area locations without warning, many are scrambling to try and find a new venue for their special day.

According to Rebecca Abaray, General Manager of Edgewood Country Club in Churchill, their venue is offering special pricing and discounts to those affected by Noah's closing.

Treesdale Golf and Country Club in Gibsonia is another local country club reaching out to those in need of a new venue.

"We are so saddened by the closing of Noah's. Our hearts go out to all of the couples affected," said Dee Shilling, Private Events Director at Treesdale.

Shilling noted that Treesdale has available dates and are welcoming those affected to reach out to inquire about accommodations.
