Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Elena + Ramy

Just give a girl her dog and her Choos and she can conquer the dreadful COVID realities to still magically marry the man of her dreams! After a year of planning what was set to be a detail-crazed, over the top, NYE wedding with over 300 guests, Elena + Ramy had a wedding for two---yes two! No family, no friends, just the priest and their planners as witnesses. Knowing they had to downsize significantly, the first change of plans initially was a dinner party for 50 of their closest friends and family at The Hotel Monaco. However, just two weeks prior to their holiday wedding, The City of Pittsburgh shut down through January 4 making it impossible for any venue to have indoor dining or gatherings of any kind on NYE. The couple was not entering the New Year without being husband and wife and made a bold decision to safely get married their way!

After walking down the historic aisles of one of the city's oldest churches to say 'I do' to frolicking through the city streets as Mr. & Mrs. with the best photographer, the fabulous Nubanis went back to their condo for a fine dining experience with a private chef and table scape styled to perfection. Looking back they both agree that after the rollercoaster of emotions, unknowns, heartbreak, and disappointment of having to drastically change their plans and vision, it may not of been what they thought they wanted but it was exactly what they needed and wouldn't change a thing.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Cassidy + Saied

Cassidy + Saied like many 2020 couples had to shift gears when planning their dream wedding. Luckily SHE knew just the spot to host a much smaller than originally planned guest list to witness Cassidy + Saied say I Do! The venue was our own event studio, Slate + the day could not have been more beautiful. As the two-day setup concluded + the florals, draping, + lightbulbs were all hung from Slate’s ceiling SHE knew this ceremony + reception was going to be one to remember.

When guests arrived they walked through the beautiful cocktail hour space to the other side of the studio where the ceremony took place. The ceremony was set in a gorgeous draped + greenery filled setting as guests watched from all sides. Then, guests moved to the cocktail hour side of the studio as our team got to work on flipping the ceremony studio into the dinner reception space. The end result was a gorgeous + chic dinner party reception with two long family style tables filled with greenery + candlelight. It was a night to remember for Cassidy + Saied! SHE was so happy we could make this couple’s wedding even more magical than originally planned.
