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 Wedding Planner | Hannah + Michael

Like many couples these past two years, Hannah + Michael had to reschedule their dream wedding, not once, but twice. However, SHE made sure that the wait was SO worth it! Their ceremony took place at Jay Verno Studios where guests were greeted with champagne from Pittsburgh’s newest bubbly vendor, The Cork + Bubbly Machine.

After the ceremony, the main studio was flipped into a gorgeous dinner reception where the head table literally took center stage. With the mastermind, GreenSinner, behind the design, SHE knew this head table would be one for the books! Breathtaking white florals were suspended from the ceiling + hung in two asymmetrical designs over the head table to create the main focal point, while the other tables were mixed with tall + short artistic floral designs. It was a night to remember + SHE was so happy Hannah + Michael were able to have their dream wedding day!

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Katie + Zemgus

When everything is blushing....the decor, the bubbly + the bride! Katie + Zemgus’ wedding at the Omni William Penn was the epitome of timeless romance with the most delicate details adorning the historic Grand Ballroom. Enchanting florals with gold gilded leaves atop crystal vases coordinated with crystal chairs. Uniquely knotted napkins with ribbon-tied custom menus and a florally laced dance floor were amongst the many details that made the couple’s celebration so special. 

Although Katie + Zemgus’ schedule was quite busy with the groom playing for the Buffalo Sabres + tons of traveling, the wedding planning didn’t skip a beat + no detail was forgotten — particularly as the dancing got underway. While guests were enthralled on the dance floor thanks to the uber talented Elite Show Band, they were also enticed to visit the Urban Room where they were greeted by servers with custom shimmery rose gold Happy Meals + the most stunning dessert table — a must for the couple who love their sweets. 

The evening was the absolute perfection + stunning in every single way. Enjoy all of the incredible imagery captured by Joey Kennedy Photography + ShoFims + witness how Mr. + Mrs. Girgensons celebrated stylishly!!

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Kira + Cam

Kira + Cam’s wedding was straight out of a fairytale! Even though the weather threatened rain, that didn’t stop Kira + Cam from having the sweetest first look before their ceremony, picture proof below. After pictures were done, it was time to travel to the ceremony, at our sister company, Slate Event Studio.

The ceremony was intimate + beautiful under a massive arch overflowing with greenery + candlelight. Once guests moved to cocktail hour, the ceremony room was flipped to create the dinner reception room. The dinner side of the studio was filled with even more greenery + candlelight + created the perfect reception space for Big Burrito to serve their delicious food. It was a night full of love + laughter at Slate, which is always SHE’s favorite type of night. Congratulations again to Kira + Cam, we wish you many more days of love + laughter!
