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.

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!

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.

Kiera and Matt (Perlé)

Doing something truly different for your reception can be scary, but the results can be amazing.  Kiera and Matt’s choice to have their celebration at Perlé champagne lounge in Market Square was the perfect choice.  Instead of a traditional sit-down dinner, guests were able to mingle, sit on the couches, and enjoy the wonderful Spring weather.

The vibe at Perlé set a wonderful, relaxing atmosphere for the newlyweds’ friends and family to enjoy.

Kiera and Matt’s guests enjoyed cocktails, food and a great view on the balcony.  When dusk arrived, it was time to get the music going, and no one hesitated to join in the party.  Guests of all ages crowded the dance floor to sing, dance and get crazy.  The happy couple made excellent choices on what would be the perfect match for their wedding reception.  They appear to have made another excellent choice as they prepare to leave for their honeymoon in Ireland!

K’rin and Victor (Scottish Rite Cathedral)

When it comes to wedding reception decorations , I’m all about the little touches that help make everything feel so personal and unique.  K’rin and Victor included some fantastic elements which perfectly matched their style.  Their wedding and celebration were held at the Scottish Rite Cathedral in New Castle, PA.

Their ceremony was held in the lobby of the Cathedral and the light coming through the big windows was stunning.

Of all their customized details, my favorite would be their one of a kind cake topper.  K’rin and Vic also had me create a custom, winter themed monogram for the dance floor, which turned out great!

K’rin and Vic were so fun to work with.  They had a super-relaxed attitude about their big day, and focused on the chance to enjoy every moment.  They chose great music to include throughout the night, but also let anyone request the songs they’d like to hear.  They had a wonderful day that allowed them to create lasting memories with their friends and family.
