Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Jaime & Aaron

Jaime + Aaron had waited three long years to finally be able to celebrate their marriage with family + friends but SHE made sure the celebration did not disappoint! The ceremony + reception were both held at the Museum Lab in Pittsburgh’s North Side which was the perfect space for an artistic + romantic cocktail style reception.

Once the ceremony + cocktail hour ended on the first floor, guests moved upstairs via the floral enhanced stairway to where the band welcomed everyone with a lively dance set before the three delicious dinner stations from Big Burrito were open. The attention to custom detail was apparent during the day + night, from custom monogrammed signature drinks, to the monogrammed band backdrop to the cappuccinos made to look like Jaime + Aaron’s adorable dog who had to miss the celebration. It was a gorgeous night to remember + SHE couldn’t be happier for Jaime + Aaron.

The love story between Lexie + Christian began 12 years ago on October 10th. When the time came for this beautiful couple to get married, it was no question that October 10, 2020 would be their Wedding Date. Their special day took place at Oakmont Country Club, with the ceremony on the 1st tee + the cocktail style reception taking place on the patio + inside the ballroom.

The backdrop for the ceremony was a stunning custom acrylic 3 piece wall sandwiched between two stunning boxwoods, fit with monograms, florals + Pampas grass. After the ceremony, guests moved to the outdoor patio + inside lounge rooms for cocktail hour. With Co-vid measures in place, the main ballroom was opened + guests could remain on the patio or enjoy the ballroom for a cocktail style reception.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Ryan + Michelle

SHE started our 10th year strong with an amazing wedding celebration for an even more incredible couple, Ryan & Michelle Shazier. For those that don’t know this couple, Ryan is a Pittsburgh Steeler, who suffered a severe spinal cord injury in December of 2017 during a Steeler game against the Bengals. After undergoing extensive surgery, Ryan began his road to recovery & ultimately walking again with Michelle confidently standing by his side + encouraging him each day.

During this recovery time, Ryan & Michelle were supposed to be getting married in Ryan’s hometown of Miami, but ultimately postponed their big day. A few months later, SHE stepped in + helped Ryan + Michelle plan their dream wedding day that they most definitely deserved.

The day started with a beautiful ceremony inside the Pennsylvanian in downtown Pittsburgh. The altar consisted of a stage surrounded by 4 large cherry blossom trees + a gold mirrored aisle. After the ceremony, guests ventured outside under the rotunda while the SHE team + our incredible vendor friends flipped the ceremony space to make it part of the reception.

With such a large guest list + family + friends from all areas of life, Ryan + Michelle decided not to have a seating chart, but instead created a cocktail reception where their guests could progress through the space to the different food stations + mix + mingle with each other. The ceremony stage was then transformed into the DJ booth, where later in the night both Michelle + Ryan took a turn as DJ…+ kept the crowd dancing all night!

SHE was so honored to create a fabulous wedding + reception for Ryan + Michelle + we wish them many more years of love + happiness.
