Courtyard by Marriott Ground-Breaking

When a consortium of developers chose to build a Courtyard by Marriott in the Shadyside section of Pittsburgh, it called upon Emerald City to create a first-class ground-breaking event to announce its plans. Emerald City developed a VIP guest list that attracted the Mayor, County Manager and State Senators and Representatives. We staged a memorable event that attracted more than 250 area civic leaders and business owners. The event was covered by two TV networks, both city dailies and two radio stations,
prompting a Marriott executive to comment that, in his experience,
he’d “never seen an event as well planned and coordinated.”
