Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Ali + Christian

Ali + Christian wanted their wedding to be a representation of their fun event for all of their guests. After a beautiful ceremony in one of the Hotel Monaco’s ballrooms, guests moved upstairs to the rooftop for cocktail hour while the SHE team flipped the ceremony room to be one of the reception rooms. Sticking with the fun theme, Ali + Christian wanted a cocktail style reception where guests could move around to different food stations + sit at any of the high top, low top or lounge furniture spread throughout both ballrooms. The fun didn’t stop there as guests were on the dancefloor until the lights came on! It was truly such a wonderful celebration of an amazing couple + SHE could not have been any happier for Ali + Christian.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Kaelyn + Steve

On the SHE blog this week, Kaelyn + Steve’s gorgeous + moody wedding takes center stage. It was a beautiful winter day that was a celebration of love. The ceremony was at the historic Saint Patrick Chuch where Kaelyn + her father made a grand entrance from the bottom staircase to a beaming Steve.

After the ceremony, guests traveled to the newest + trendiest hotel, The Oaklander, where the event space is located above the city on the top floor creating sweeping views of the city. Guests were able to find their seat from the custom black acrylic wall that read, Our Favorite People + later transitioned into the perfect photo back drop as the night progressed. An overflowing cascade of chic balloons marked the entrance to the ballroom where the designs only became more breathtaking! Take a look at the pictures below to see more of Kaelyn + Steve’s gorgeous wedding.
