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.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Brittany + Karl

One thing SHE loves is our never-ending relationships with our clients + families! We’ve known Brittany personally + she even attended our first “SHE event”. A decade ago, SHE was established + so were the Lozanne’s. They did not have a wedding as they were both super focused on their career goals, wrapping up medical school + law school. Fast forward to Karl’s 40th celebration that we planned in Charlotte, NC + now to their 10 year vow renewal in Blythewood, SC for Dr. + Mrs. Karl Lozanne Esquire! We could not be more honored to create this moment + share in this special milestone with their children, family, + friends. They’ve both worked so hard + achieved so much + this evening they could kick back and be celebrated. 

Doko Manor was so charming + the perfect backdrop for our modern garden design. The color palette was everything! Not your typical fall colors yet very appropriate for the season. The ceremony was set with a picture perfect background + floral arch. From there, guests moved inside + stepped into a completely transformed ballroom! The mix of high + low florals were able to make a statement with satin + crème linens accentuating the design. It was a celebration to remember with the sounds of Mike Stone Entertainment keeping everyone on the dance floor all night. SHE was honored to apart of Dr. + Mrs. Karl Lozanne’s celebration!

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Ashlee + Toner

Our fierce Beyonce-loving bride, Ashlee married the Jay to her Bey, Andy aka Toner! Their love was certainly on top and they shared a stunning day for family + friends to remember forever! As the daughter of the premiere wedding dress shop in Pittsburgh, Bridal Beginning, Ashlee served looks like no other!! So of course slaying details was a must! SHE completely transformed the ballroom at Valley Brook Country Club with their Tuscan garden wedding. Guests entered this magical celebration through a hand draped white tunnel adorned with greenery, lighting, and romantic statues. The foyer entrance certainly gave guests something to talk about as they found their seat on the ornate mirrors on the floral boxwood walls while white-gloved hands passed through the same wall to give them a pretty signature cocktail. It was too good to be true!

The build up and drama continued as you entered the ballroom boasting villa vibes and modern romance with an abundance of greenery + all white florals. The custom faux wood pergola anchored the room with thousands of roses over the dance floor; it was absolutely breathtaking. Acrylic tables tops were styled with their own floating green oasis while others had acrylic details paired with crisp white linens or a beautiful floral sequin overlay, all working together and complimenting perfectly with each centerpiece design! The garden glam fun continued on the patio with the custom swing that was the perfect social media moment and kissing spot! SHE couldn’t be happier with this spectacular production and we so humbled to share another dream wedding with this family who are not just clients but our dear friends…Ti Amo Toners!

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Sarah + Wouter

Sarah + Wouter’s love story is a special one that centered around family + tradition. They met as collegiate tennis coaches + formed a fast friendship that quickly turned to love. Their cocktail hour + reception combined the family + tradition aspects, as it was held on Sarah’s family’s gorgeous estate. Years ago, the Short family built the most amazing barn on their property for their kids to get married in + to date, Sarah was the second out of four children to get married at the barn.

When guests arrived to the property, they grabbed their hanging escort card + made their way to the cocktail hour where Sarah + Wouter arrived in the coolest vintage red Mustang. After cocktail hour, guests traveled a few short feet to the Short family’s barn that was decorated with gorgeous greenery + flowers created by the florist, GreenSinner + immediately had a dance set to get the night started. It was a perfect night full of memories that Sarah + Wouter will never forget!
