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.

Cleveland Wedding Planner | Naeemah + Daven

On New Years Eve, with only 20 seconds left in the countdown, Daven dropped on one knee and asked Naeemah to bring in the New Year as his wife! The drama + romance behind their proposal continued with planning their dream wedding. Naeemah had a vision-a modern, chic black tie wedding along with a fun-filled weekend in the city. {SHE} knew it could only be brought to life with the help of a #detailsnob. The weekend kicked off with gorgeous welcome boxes (our favorite-to-date) that guests received upon checking into the Westin Downtown Cleveland. In the box guests would find custom-labeled, well everything! Mini champagne bottles. Mini water bottles. N+D’s favorite candies. And the hangover kit, which would come in handy after an eventful weekend! The party began after rehearsal on Friday with a welcome party at C’set La Vie and ended at The Vault for an after-party on wedding night. From the intricate bodice + lavish skirt of Naeemah's gown, to the breathtaking 10’ phalaenopsis orchid centerpieces to the 'X' shaped tables, the boldness of black, and perfect amount of sparkle, this bride loved drama just as much as {SHE} does! Naeemah + Daven’s city chic wedding was captured to perfection by Making The Moment and featured online in Bridal Bliss on ESSENCE.com. Now to enjoy all of the fabulousness that happened that one time {SHE} went to Cleveland-yup we travel!
