Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Rachel + Andy

When our bride wanted a modern, art deco, + glam vibe for her wedding, the team got to work! Rachel + Andy decided upon the Urban Room at the Omni William Penn Hotel for their ceremony + reception + that room perfectly complimented their theme. Once the ceremony ended, we flipped the space + created a reception to remember. The mix of high + low tables led to a geometric top dancefloor surrounded by gorgeous forest green + gold vintage lounge furniture. The head table was situated in the middle of the room + stood out with beautiful velvet chair covers, + a mirrored top that reflected the candlelight + florals creating a romantic ambiance. The final product could not have been more beautiful + easily became one of ’s favorite weddings. Rachel + Andy were one of our sweetest couples + we wish them continued love + joy!

Heather + Mike might not live in Pittsburgh anymore, but that didn't stop them from showing their Pittsburgh pride with a reception at none other than Heinz Field, home to The Pittsburgh Steelers! Even the unpredictable Pittsburgh rain held off for Heather + Mike to sneak some pictures on the field! Inside at the reception, guests could not take their eyes off of the head table + it's beautiful greenery + hanging candlelight created by the talented Hens + Chicks. Heather + Mike's perfect day became even better when Heather's father's band got the party started + guests danced the night away! Congratulations again to one of {SHE}'s sweetest couples, we wish you years of love + happiness.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Sawina + Karan

Sawina + Karan's wedding celebration in Pittsburgh was a two-day affair full of tradition, bold colors, beauty + endless memories. {SHE} was honored to work with a dream team of vendors such as Elegant Affairs Inc. who was responsible for all of the stunning floral + décor + Jorge Santiago Photography who fabulously captured the weekend of events. Friday night, the festivities started with a sangeet that completely transformed the Pittsburgh Rivers Casino banquet hall into a room full of life + magnificent color. The night started with traditional dances + ended with a replica of a marketplace from India opening for guests to either trade in their custom keys, which they were handed when they walked in, for an intricately  beaded purse, or shop for other items.

Saturday, the ceremony + reception were held at the historic Omni William Penn hotel in downtown Pittsburgh. The ceremony was held in the Urban Room which connects to the main ballroom where dinner + dancing took place. Before guests even went to the wedding ceremony, they participated in the baraat tradition where the groom processes in on a white horse. The ceremony space was truly breathtaking, with a gorgeous white porcelain elevated aisle + flowers lining the makeshift altar, it looked amazing from every angle. As guests processed into the main ballroom, twinkling lights, massive floral arrangements + makeshift trees took guest’s breath away. The sides of the ballroom were separated by a custom marble dance floor + a sweetheart lounge for Sawina + Karan that included not 1 but 3 hanging chandeliers. It was truly a weekend to remember + {SHE} wishes the happy couple a lifetime full of love.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Siobhan + Brian

Siobhan + Brian’s wedding was a chic + stylish affair! The couple envisioned a clean + elegant reception, but in a not so traditional space, + therefore decided upon The Ace Hotel in Pittsburgh. This trendy hotel is unique in that they have a grand ballroom for events, but they also have a refurbished gymnasium which can be used for cocktail hour, dancing, etc. After cocktail hour in the gymnasium, guests moved to the ballroom for the sit down dinner where a mix of clear acrylic chairs + black chivari chairs created a modern twist on traditional seating. Each place setting had a menu delicately tied around a black napkin, atop a trio of classy black + white plates in gold trim. It was a perfectly polished look that complimented the beautiful white + green floral arrangements + gold candle lit vases spread throughout each table. The night ended with guests dancing to the groovy tunes of The Bachelor Boys + eating delicious cake from Bella Christie + Lil Z’s. Scroll through the gorgeous pictures below, taken by Meaghan Elliott Photography, for more on Siobhan + Brian’s special day.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Abby + Josh

Elegant, Classic + Timeless! These words not only describe our {SHE} couple Abby + Josh, but also their beautiful wedding ceremony + reception held at The Duquesne Club in downtown Pittsburgh. Our bride Abby wore a beaded Maison Valentino dress with complimenting Valentino shoes that was completely stunning + the perfect amount of chic! Friends + family gathered around Abby + Josh for an intimate ceremony in the Fountain Room at The Duquesne Club + from there, guests moved to the Founders Room for a sit down dinner. In such a historic + iconic building as The Duquesne Club, it does not take much to dress up the space. Therefore, Abby + Josh opted for a simple + sophisticated decor of white, gold + greenery. It was a perfect day that ended with the famous Duquesne Club macaroons + guests dancing the night away.
