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.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Petra + Brian

Petra + Brian’s winter wedding was a gorgeous + boho chic vibe in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh at the iconic Duquesne Club. The ceremony took place in the fountain room + was transformed like never before with the help of the team at GreenSinner. The fountain in the middle of the room was flanked by two bursting pillars of florals + Pampas grass that matched the pillars surrounding the ceremony. Later, guests moved upstairs where the reception was held. The boho-chic vibe continued upstairs with the pillars from the ceremony flanking the sweetheart table + gorgeous florals on each table.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Christie + Alex

Christie + Alex’s wedding was one of elegance + beauty. Their cocktail hour + reception was held at the Pennsylvanian, a location that SHE has worked numerous times, but this time we transformed the space into a unique + detail focused design. It started at cocktail hour with a custom display that housed the place cards + welcome beers + rose.

Once guests went inside to the reception, the bar became the focal point of the room with the 10ft draped floral pergola overtop of it. It was truly stunning + added height to the room along with the tall gorgeous floral designs from Hens + Chicks Floral Studio. The mix of chairs + chargers + napkins, specific to each set of tables added even more of the design details that SHE loves to incorporate into each event. It was the perfect night for a beautiful couple that SHE was so honored to work with!

Pittsburgh Event Planner | Sienna's 5th Birthday Carnival

Step right up to Sienna’s 5th Birthday Carnival! SHE loves our clients that become family + creating forever memories for them means so much to us. For Sienna’s 5th Birthday, SHE went all out with a backyard Carnival!

As soon as guests walked up to the driveway, they were greeted by a clown on stilts + got to play custom Carnival games such as Ring Toss, Balloon Pop, + Dunk a Duck. Then, after walking up to the custom Ticket Booth, they entered the balloon lined tent + made their way to the backyard, but not before grabbing a sweet treat off of the tiger caged dessert table. Once in the backyard, they grabbed a custom drink from the bar + hopped into the pool. It was a perfect summer party + SHE can’t wait to make more memories with this family!
