Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Cara + Conor

Cara + Conor’s wedding last year was a stunner! As soon as guests moved from cocktail hour to the ballroom, they walked through a tunnel of flowing white drapery, decorated with gorgeous pedestals of floral arrangements. The Omni William Penn’s ballroom was transformed with beautiful white florals, larger than life candles + upside down roses stemming from oversized lamp shades. The tables were a mix of traditional rounds + rectangles but made more modern with white leather curved couches for seating sprinkled into the layout. The dancefloor was a custom mirrored floor where guests danced the night away. It was a night to remember! SHE loves this family so much + wishes them all of the love + joy that they bring to everyone around them.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Casey + David

Casey + David’s love story is a sweet one…literally! It started many years ago when they would both watch their younger brothers play baseball under the coaching of David’s dad. Fast forward a couple years + Casey was going into her junior year of high school + had a job at Bruster’s Ice Cream. David had just graduated high school + would frequently stop at Bruster’s where he spent many nights eating Birthday Cake ice cream, each cone with a few extra scoops, scooped by Casey. Fast forward again to 2018, David had finished his first season with the San Diego Padres minor league team + reconnected with Casey + the rest is history.

SHE loved working with Casey + David, their love for each other + their overall fun-loving personalities are contagious! The day could not have been more beautiful. The reception was held at the Hotel Monaco which was the perfect backdrop for the classic + chic design of Casey + David’s wedding. DJ Digital Dave + Jason Kendall Productions kept the dance floor packed the entire night with their combined sounds. It was an elegant + timeless affair + SHE sends all the love in the world to Casey + David + their families.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Jessica + Lacy

Jessica + Lacy’s wedding day was one to remember! The Pittsburgh weather decided to be difficult with a little rain, but that didn’t stop Jessica + Lacy from making the most of it. The ceremony was a dream with a backdrop of drapery + gorgeous white, tan + dusty pink roses.

Once guests moved into the reception ballroom, they were greeted with more drapery + a mix of long + round tables each with different chairs and linens. The tablescape was filled with custom menus that complimented the florals + linens. Once the party started, DJ Digital Dave had guests on the dancefloor all night long. It was a party + SHE was so happy to be part of Jessica + Lacy’s big day.
