Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Jessica + Corey

Jessica + Corey’s love story started years ago as friends, with both of their families having grown up together + spending weekends in Seven Springs skiing. As time passed, they reconnected + realized they were each other’s person for life.

When the time came to marry, it was only fitting they chose to get married where they spent those many weekends growing up. One of the family cabin’s was converted into a beautiful ceremony site + the other was used for the reception with a connecting white tent filled with tables + a dance floor to celebrate all night long. Jessica + Corey are the sweetest couple + SHE was so happy to be part of The Joseph’s wedding day!

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Cassidy + Saied

Cassidy + Saied like many 2020 couples had to shift gears when planning their dream wedding. Luckily SHE knew just the spot to host a much smaller than originally planned guest list to witness Cassidy + Saied say I Do! The venue was our own event studio, Slate + the day could not have been more beautiful. As the two-day setup concluded + the florals, draping, + lightbulbs were all hung from Slate’s ceiling SHE knew this ceremony + reception was going to be one to remember.

When guests arrived they walked through the beautiful cocktail hour space to the other side of the studio where the ceremony took place. The ceremony was set in a gorgeous draped + greenery filled setting as guests watched from all sides. Then, guests moved to the cocktail hour side of the studio as our team got to work on flipping the ceremony studio into the dinner reception space. The end result was a gorgeous + chic dinner party reception with two long family style tables filled with greenery + candlelight. It was a night to remember for Cassidy + Saied! SHE was so happy we could make this couple’s wedding even more magical than originally planned.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Nina + David

Nina + David like many couples this year had to pivot + change their wedding plans. However, even with the change of plans, SHE made sure that their dream day was nothing short of amazing. With the change of plans, SHE left Pittsburgh + traveled to West Virginia, to transform Oglebay Resort.

The cocktail hour was set in an outdoor tent with endless rows of string lights twinkling + three custom steel orb chandeliers provided by Every Every AV + Compound Creations. Afterwards guests moved inside to the grand ballroom where the room was beautifully transformed into a rustic wonderland. Move Makers got the party started + had the guests dancing until the end of the night. It was a perfect day + SHE was so happy to be part of Nina + David’s big day.

The love story between Lexie + Christian began 12 years ago on October 10th. When the time came for this beautiful couple to get married, it was no question that October 10, 2020 would be their Wedding Date. Their special day took place at Oakmont Country Club, with the ceremony on the 1st tee + the cocktail style reception taking place on the patio + inside the ballroom.

The backdrop for the ceremony was a stunning custom acrylic 3 piece wall sandwiched between two stunning boxwoods, fit with monograms, florals + Pampas grass. After the ceremony, guests moved to the outdoor patio + inside lounge rooms for cocktail hour. With Co-vid measures in place, the main ballroom was opened + guests could remain on the patio or enjoy the ballroom for a cocktail style reception.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Carrie + Mike

When Carrie + Mike first started planning their wedding, SHE began calling it the Wedding Conference because it was going to be a whole weekend of events over Labor Day. Since covid made that impossible, Carrie + Mike switched their plans + had the most perfect + intimate outdoor ceremony + reception at Aspinwall Riverfront Park.

Once guests arrived, they enjoyed a small cocktail + then were witnesses to Carrie + Mike marrying themselves in a ceremony with their daughters. From there, all moved to the dinner reception where each couple had their own table + enjoyed 5 courses each with its own wine pairing + musical or comedic entertainment after each course. It was truly a beautiful night filled with what really matters, love + friendship.
