Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Hannah + Michael

Like many couples these past two years, Hannah + Michael had to reschedule their dream wedding, not once, but twice. However, SHE made sure that the wait was SO worth it! Their ceremony took place at Jay Verno Studios where guests were greeted with champagne from Pittsburgh’s newest bubbly vendor, The Cork + Bubbly Machine.

After the ceremony, the main studio was flipped into a gorgeous dinner reception where the head table literally took center stage. With the mastermind, GreenSinner, behind the design, SHE knew this head table would be one for the books! Breathtaking white florals were suspended from the ceiling + hung in two asymmetrical designs over the head table to create the main focal point, while the other tables were mixed with tall + short artistic floral designs. It was a night to remember + SHE was so happy Hannah + Michael were able to have their dream wedding day!

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Jaime & Aaron

Jaime + Aaron had waited three long years to finally be able to celebrate their marriage with family + friends but SHE made sure the celebration did not disappoint! The ceremony + reception were both held at the Museum Lab in Pittsburgh’s North Side which was the perfect space for an artistic + romantic cocktail style reception.

Once the ceremony + cocktail hour ended on the first floor, guests moved upstairs via the floral enhanced stairway to where the band welcomed everyone with a lively dance set before the three delicious dinner stations from Big Burrito were open. The attention to custom detail was apparent during the day + night, from custom monogrammed signature drinks, to the monogrammed band backdrop to the cappuccinos made to look like Jaime + Aaron’s adorable dog who had to miss the celebration. It was a gorgeous night to remember + SHE couldn’t be happier for Jaime + Aaron.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Elena + Ramy

Just give a girl her dog and her Choos and she can conquer the dreadful COVID realities to still magically marry the man of her dreams! After a year of planning what was set to be a detail-crazed, over the top, NYE wedding with over 300 guests, Elena + Ramy had a wedding for two---yes two! No family, no friends, just the priest and their planners as witnesses. Knowing they had to downsize significantly, the first change of plans initially was a dinner party for 50 of their closest friends and family at The Hotel Monaco. However, just two weeks prior to their holiday wedding, The City of Pittsburgh shut down through January 4 making it impossible for any venue to have indoor dining or gatherings of any kind on NYE. The couple was not entering the New Year without being husband and wife and made a bold decision to safely get married their way!

After walking down the historic aisles of one of the city's oldest churches to say 'I do' to frolicking through the city streets as Mr. & Mrs. with the best photographer, the fabulous Nubanis went back to their condo for a fine dining experience with a private chef and table scape styled to perfection. Looking back they both agree that after the rollercoaster of emotions, unknowns, heartbreak, and disappointment of having to drastically change their plans and vision, it may not of been what they thought they wanted but it was exactly what they needed and wouldn't change a thing.

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!
