Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Jessica + Corey

Jessica + Corey’s love story started years ago as friends, with both of their families having grown up together + spending weekends in Seven Springs skiing. As time passed, they reconnected + realized they were each other’s person for life.

When the time came to marry, it was only fitting they chose to get married where they spent those many weekends growing up. One of the family cabin’s was converted into a beautiful ceremony site + the other was used for the reception with a connecting white tent filled with tables + a dance floor to celebrate all night long. Jessica + Corey are the sweetest couple + SHE was so happy to be part of The Joseph’s wedding day!

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Nina + David

Nina + David like many couples this year had to pivot + change their wedding plans. However, even with the change of plans, SHE made sure that their dream day was nothing short of amazing. With the change of plans, SHE left Pittsburgh + traveled to West Virginia, to transform Oglebay Resort.

The cocktail hour was set in an outdoor tent with endless rows of string lights twinkling + three custom steel orb chandeliers provided by Every Every AV + Compound Creations. Afterwards guests moved inside to the grand ballroom where the room was beautifully transformed into a rustic wonderland. Move Makers got the party started + had the guests dancing until the end of the night. It was a perfect day + SHE was so happy to be part of Nina + David’s big day.

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!

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Nicole + Matt

The first time Matt saw Nicole, it was at their place of work, PNC Bank, + after listening to Nicole give a presentation, Matt turned to his friend + said “I’m going to marry that girl”. It was a love story that was destined to happen + seeing Nicole + Matt on their wedding day, it was evident that they were made for each other.

They had an intimate ceremony in the Founders room at the Duquesne Club + from there guests moved to the Patio room for cocktail hour where custom velvet floral linens from Mosaic Inc. covered the tables. After cocktail hour, everyone traveled upstairs to the ballroom where there was no shortage of romance + details. Gorgeous elevatored florals by Hens + Chicks lined the head table + numerous other tables while the mix of muted + neutral linens lined the tables. It was a beautiful evening where guests did not leave the dance floor all night thanks to the sounds of the Move Makers Band. Congratulations again to our beautiful couple, Nicole + Matt!

Sarah Jane + Brandon | Pittsburgh Wedding Planner

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! SHE loves a December wedding + last year Sarah Jane + Brandon had a perfect winter wedding with a classic design. Held at the Fox Chapel Golf Club, the scenery inside kept everyone warm with candlelight, traditional greenery + pops of burnt orange + red from Donati’s flowers. The mix of white + crème linens from Lendable Linens added to the chic design + let the gold + white chargers stand out.

Sarah + Brandon’s love for each other shined bright the entire day. From Brandon’s epic first look reaction when he saw his beautiful bride to-be Sarah in her stunning dress, to their first dance as husband + wife, it was a day to remember + the perfect way to wrap up the year. SHE adored working with this couple + wish them many more years of happiness + love.
