Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Casey + David

Casey + David’s love story is a sweet one…literally! It started many years ago when they would both watch their younger brothers play baseball under the coaching of David’s dad. Fast forward a couple years + Casey was going into her junior year of high school + had a job at Bruster’s Ice Cream. David had just graduated high school + would frequently stop at Bruster’s where he spent many nights eating Birthday Cake ice cream, each cone with a few extra scoops, scooped by Casey. Fast forward again to 2018, David had finished his first season with the San Diego Padres minor league team + reconnected with Casey + the rest is history.

SHE loved working with Casey + David, their love for each other + their overall fun-loving personalities are contagious! The day could not have been more beautiful. The reception was held at the Hotel Monaco which was the perfect backdrop for the classic + chic design of Casey + David’s wedding. DJ Digital Dave + Jason Kendall Productions kept the dance floor packed the entire night with their combined sounds. It was an elegant + timeless affair + SHE sends all the love in the world to Casey + David + their families.

When Mady asked Mer to plan her wedding in Nashville, TN, the answer was ABSOLUTELY! The wedding was an intimate + chic celebration of about 80 people at the iconic Nashville restaurant + bar, The Acme Feed + Seed.
