Renee & Paul celebrated their Wedding reception in the 17th floor Ballroom of the luxurious Omni William Penn Hotel. What started with a classic first dance, ended in a packed dance floor frenzy – both powered by the best Pittsburgh Wedding Band, John Parker. Check out these awesome photos graciously provided by veteran Pittsburgh Wedding Pros (& awesome couple) Michael & Lynne Goldstein of Goldstein Photography
Renee started her dream wedding day at home, where the bridal gown and bridesmaid dresses hung awaiting hair & makeup to be done..
the Bride walks down the sweeping staircase in her gown for her bridal party first to see – what a moment!
Their ceremony was held in the majestic Saint Bernard’s Church. An incredible image!
Many 100’s of candles lined the perimeter of the balcony at the William Penn, making for a stunning look as the room got darker.
High tech LED lighting? Nope. This was old-school elegance to the max. We LOVED it!
April Schwietz Mason’s Mocha Rose Floral & Event Design of Pittsburgh sculpted the most beautiful floral work, including stunning roses, lilies, and orchids.
A floral monogram served as the backdrop of the bride & groom’s sweetheart table – what an exquisite look!
A split of champagne makes for a great table card holder – those flowers were pretty awesome too! 🙂
This truly incredible wedding cake is the world famous Burnt Almond Torte of Prantl’s Bakery in Pittsburgh
If you liked dessert (and who doesn’t) you were in luck – big time. Awesome Lemon cakes, cookies, buckeyes & so much more adorned the Pittsburgh traditional cookie display.
So, once guests ate these spectacular desserts, they felt so amazing the place to go was the dance floor! Well, that & the stage! 🙂
The bride & her bridesmaids joined John for a few songs which was immensely fun & memorable!
“…We knew you’d be good,
but you definitely blew away any expectations!!!… ”
