Omni William Penn Hotel Pittsburgh Wedding ~ Rachel and Jeremy

Rachel and Jeremy’s lavish wedding was a huge hit with guests! From the heartfelt ceremony to the amazing music provided by premier wedding entertainer John Parker, no detail of this wonderful day was neglected.

Brand Studio wedding photographers John Pascarella and Sean Blair took amazing photographs that the bride and groom will surely cherish for the rest of their days!

The couple said their vows before God in the Epiphany Catholic Church, a breathtaking building with high ceilings and ornate architecture. This incredible place of worship reminded the bride and groom that they were truly blessed to have each other.

While guests enjoyed cocktail hour in the Omni William Penn‘s art deco style Urban Room, the bride, groom, and other members of the wedding party took a ride on one of Molly’s Trolleys to take pictures around the city.

The reception took place in the Omni’s Grand Ballroom, a stunning venue that matched this wedding’s classy style perfectly. Omni staff member Darlene Coons kept the reception looking great and running like a well-oiled machine. The party really got started when the bride and groom’s grand entrance, signaling that it was time for everyone to begin celebrating!

Bride Rachel had told her guests that “if your feet aren’t hurting by the end of the night, you haven’t danced nearly enough!” Luckily, Pittsburgh’s most sensational wedding band astounded guests with a wide variety of music that had them dancing until their feet couldn’t take it anymore!

“Rachel got exactly what she wanted – everyone dancing all night!
We will definitely recommend you highly to our friends.”
– Rebecca, Mother of the Bride

Peek n Peak Wedding ~ Steph and Alex

The heartwarming ceremony and vibrant wine-themed reception made Steph and Alex’s wedding one for the books! The Pittsburgh wedding band Dreamscape had the crowd cutting a rug on the dance floor from beginning to end.

These beautiful photos – taken by the talented Eric Smyklo – capture the charm and vibrance of this lovely wedding day.

Steph and Alex were married on a lovely Autumn day at St. Gregory Church. The bride looked angelic in her beautiful gown. She practically glowed walking down the aisle, and it was obvious that her groom took notice! They exited the church arm-in-arm beneath a shower of feathers thrown by their guests. It may have been the end of the wedding ceremony, but it was just the beginning of a great day!

For the reception, the wedding party made their way upstate to the gorgeous grounds of Peek N Peak. To begin the evening, guests enjoyed the surrounding golf courses as the sun began to set. The leaves were just beginning to turn on the trees, making the scenery even more stunning than usual! At the beginning of the reception, guests were invited to sign one of the Steph and Alex’s many anniversary wines sporting custom labels. The venue itself was a beautiful sight to behold. Kim Kantola ensured everything looked fabulous and ran smoothly!

After enjoying a fantastic dinner, guests were happy to dance the night away to one of the top Pittsburgh wedding bands!

The Links at Hemlock Creek Wedding ~ Josh and Lucia

Josh and Lucia threw a delightful country style wedding with wholesome touches that kept everyone feeling the love! Guests also had a wonderful time at the reception thanks in large part to spectacular Pittsburgh wedding entertainers, The John Parker Band.

Tawnya, a gifted artist and owner of aclick Photography, impressed with her spectacular pictures of the couple’s memorable day.

The ceremony – held at a quaint church in the couple’s hometown – had a warm and intimate feel. Spring had already sprung when the bride and groom said their “I do’s” before their friends and family, so the weather was beyond lovely! The newlyweds enjoyed the gorgeous day as they drove to their beautiful outdoor reception space in a white vintage GT 500 Mustang.

The outstanding white tent venue at The Links at Hemlock Creek could not look any better! Links staff member Elise Huss made sure that the night went exactly as planned, taking the stress off the newlyweds so they could fully enjoy their evening! Guests were invited to spoil their stomachs with a smorgasbord of pastries, cookies, and hot chocolate before they hit the dance floor.

The John Parker band belted out some amazing tunes for the couple and their guests, carrying on the fun long into the night!

The bride and groom even wrote a super-nice thank you note raving about the band’s performance!
