Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Kaitie + Chris

Kaitie + Chris’s wedding was another standout celebration from last year! It was the third time that SHE has had the absolute honor of working with the Olivo family + planning one of their children’s dream weddings. This time, it was with their only son Chris + his beautiful bride to be Kaitie. Kaitie’s vision for her wedding was glamorous yet also chic. From the white-on-white linens + florals with teeny tiny pops of pale pink mixed in, the Westin Hotel’s ballroom was transformed into a magical oasis. SHE can’t talk about this day without mentioning the absolute gorgeous wedding dresses, a custom Inesdisanto + a stunning Berta dress, Kaitie wore, both from Chris’s family’s shop, Bridal Beginning. It was a fabulous night for a fabulous couple + SHE was honored to play a part. Cheers to the new Mr. & Mrs!

Pittsburgh Event Planner | Helen's 30th Birthday

When a 30th Birthday trip to Miami is cancelled because of Co-Vid + our client calls us two weeks before the party date asking if we can plan a backyard celebration, SHE’s answer is always YES! This party was the perfect celebration for a fellow girl boss to say goodbye to her 20’s + hello to her 30’s!

Guests enjoyed a chic backyard celebration with individually packaged appetizers + sandwiches from the Duquesne Club + a custom signature cocktail of Rose, Limoncello + basil leaves. For dessert they could choose from custom mini cakes + cookies from Tasty Bakery that were personalized to our birthday girl! As the evening went on, Club Helen, opened on the opposite side of patio. SHE transformed our client’s patio, into the prettiest club complete with a balloon ceiling, pink lounge furniture + custom pillows. The partygoers danced the night away to the sounds of our favorite Pittsburgh DJ, DJ Digital Dave.

It was a chic + stylish 30th Birthday Party for a chic + stylish client + SHE was so happy to have been a part of this epic celebration!
