Jessie and Matt (Gilfillan Farm)

Since the weather here in Western Pennsylvania can be a bit unpredictable, some people aren’t willing to take the risk of holding an outdoor wedding ceremony and reception. For those that do, the results can be spectacular. Jessie and Matt took that risk and their celebration couldn’t have been more perfect. Their big day was held on a wonderful and sunny day at Gilfillan Farm just outside of Pittsburgh, PA.

Guests enjoyed the outdoor ceremony and cocktail reception before heading over to a beautifully decorated tent for dinner and dancing.

Jessie and Matt planned their day to be relaxed and casual, where guests could get comfortable and spend special time with family and friends. There was plenty of opportunity for everyone to enjoy food, drink, games and s’mores. The dance party lasted for over 5 hours, and included a great variety of music from country to hip-hop. The newlyweds ended the evening surrounded by loved ones who clearly celebrated every moment of this fantastic and unforgettable day.

Italia and Seth (Heinz History Center)

One of my favorite questions I’ve included in my online wedding planner regards how much the bride and groom hope to be able to dance at their reception. Since guests want to be near the newlyweds, it’s so much fun for everyone when they plan to be dancing! Italia and Seth said they would be dancing “all night long”, and they could not have been more accurate!

Their ceremony and reception was held at the Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh, which was the perfect setting for both an elegant and wildly fun celebration.

To help make their day even more special and unique, Italia and Seth included great events that represented both of their families’ traditions. This included starting off the dancing with the Tarantella followed immediately by Hava Nagila. After that, the songs the happy couple chose were a perfect match for their friends and family to enjoy. I loved that the newlyweds truly did get to dance “all night long” and loved every minute of it. They’re now off to enjoy a wonderful honeymoon in England and Scotland.

Bethany and Scott (The Willow Room)

Every bride and groom will eventually have to deal with having kids… at the reception. While some will chose to have an adults-only celebration, it’s always great when couples find ways to allow the entire family and all of their friends to be part of the big day. Bethany and Scott’s wedding reception The Willow Room was custom-planned to be inclusive for everyone from 1 to 100.

The ballroom looked amazing, and included lots of wonderful special details. My favorite was the custom-made activity books located at each table setting of those families with younger children.

Bethany and Scott chose fantastic music to make sure everyone felt comfortable and had fun as well. Everyone was up on the dance floor getting crazy to hits from 80’s, 90’s and today. It’s so great seeing people of all ages dancing to such a diverse group of genres. The newlyweds planned and executed the perfect celebration that no one will forget!

Kaitlyn and Joseph (Carnegie Museum)

When it comes to wedding planning, I love to work with couples that want to dig into the details of the reception. I’m a huge fan of making lists and triple checking everything to make sure things go well during this once-in-a-lifetime event. Kaitlyn, Joe and I could not have been a more perfect match. We had a great time discussing and putting together the music and events for their celebration at the Carnegie Museum in Oakland.

The Music Hall Foyer is always stunning, and the decorations the newlyweds chose were a perfect match for the elegant atmosphere.

Kaitlyn and Joe provided excellent direction when it came to music, but also gave me the flexibility to be sure their guests heard a wide variety of fun songs. Everyone had a chance to join in the fun and sing and dance to hits from yesterday and today. The happy couple will continue to reap the benefits of their amazing planning talents as they enjoy a well-deserved honeymoon in Maui.

Molly and Jeff (Nittany Lion Inn)

Sometimes finding the venue for your wedding will come before anything else. Choosing the right location for everyone to gather can play a major role in the success of the celebration. Molly and Jeff knew their wedding and reception needed to be at Penn State College & the Nittany Lion Inn in State College, PA.

Molly & Jeff invited lots of family and friends to join them on their big day, many of which were Penn State Alumni. The beautiful Nittany Lion Inn was the perfect location for an epic reunion and celebration.

Once the dancing started, the party really kicked into gear. Everyone enjoyed dancing to fantastic music from the 60’s all the way up to today’s hits. The excitement and energy on the dance floor went non-stop until the very last song. Molly and Jeff gave their guests a wonderful day to reminisce, visit, dance, and get a little crazy. The newlyweds are now off to another great location for their honeymoon in Aruba.

Constance and William (Carnegie Museum Wedding)

Most weddings end up being a mix of family or ethnic traditions mixed with modern elements. Determining which elements to include of each can be challenging. Constance and Bill chose wonderful details to include in their elegant reception at the Carnegie Museum in Oakland.

The Music Hall Foyer at the Museum always gives a wonderful sense of class and style. The room looked amazing with the stunning place setting and flower arrangements.

Constance and Bill chose to include a traditional Greek money dance, where their guests threw bills directly on the floor as they danced along with the newlyweds. It was fantastic!

One of the more modern elements I was able to help with was providing a great mix of songs that include Top 40 hits from today, as well as some amazing songs from the 80’s & 90’s. The newlyweds treated their friends and family to a beautiful celebration that truly had something for everyone. The happy couple will leave soon for a romantic honeymoon in Hawaii.
