Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Lexie + Jordan

Lexie + Jordan’s wedding day was an intimate + chic soiree that not even a little unexpected rain could ruin. With less than an hour until ceremony, the skies opened + down came the rain. However, Lexie + Jordan’s love proved too much for mother nature as the skies miraculously cleared just in time for Jordan to wait for his bride in front of a stunning mirrored + greenery filled chuppah. After the ceremony, guests traveled to The Pittsburgh Field Club where all of Lexie + Jordan’s favorite “buds” found their place card from the custom floral seating display. The dinner ballroom was a twinkle light fairytale with gorgeous velvet linens + beautiful florals to compliment. The entire day was eloquent + stylish + SHE was so happy to play a part in Lexie + Jordan’s love story.

Pittsburgh Event Planner | Harley’s Sweet 16

*Cue MTV’s My Super Sweet 16 theme song* SHE is taking you inside Harley’s Super Sweet & Lilac themed Sweet 16. This party was a blast to plan + a blast to attend. As soon as guests walked into the backyard of Harley’s family home, they saw the most amazing shades of purple balloon bunches spilling over the pergola + floating in the pool with gigantic foam letters spelling out the Birthday girl’s name. From the make your own taco spread to the custom juice boxes to the Cupcake ATM…yes, a real ATM for cupcakes…guests did not go hungry. With DJ Cake spinning hits throughout the night + guests sitting for a caricature that turned into a custom phone case there was something for everyone. Happy 16th Birthday Harley! SHE hopes this party was as sweet as you!

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.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star - how {SHE} wonders what you are! Friends and family gathered to celebrate the soon-to-be arrival of the Buchner’s little star! Veronica’s Balloon Design made this event shine so bright by placing the balloons transversely on the tables + floating in the sky.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Siobhan + Brian

Siobhan + Brian’s wedding was a chic + stylish affair! The couple envisioned a clean + elegant reception, but in a not so traditional space, + therefore decided upon The Ace Hotel in Pittsburgh. This trendy hotel is unique in that they have a grand ballroom for events, but they also have a refurbished gymnasium which can be used for cocktail hour, dancing, etc. After cocktail hour in the gymnasium, guests moved to the ballroom for the sit down dinner where a mix of clear acrylic chairs + black chivari chairs created a modern twist on traditional seating. Each place setting had a menu delicately tied around a black napkin, atop a trio of classy black + white plates in gold trim. It was a perfectly polished look that complimented the beautiful white + green floral arrangements + gold candle lit vases spread throughout each table. The night ended with guests dancing to the groovy tunes of The Bachelor Boys + eating delicious cake from Bella Christie + Lil Z’s. Scroll through the gorgeous pictures below, taken by Meaghan Elliott Photography, for more on Siobhan + Brian’s special day.
