Hello Productions

We cannot thank Allanah and her team enough for their day-of coordination of our wedding at the Stables at Hartwood. Allanah ensured we didn't have to worry about anything (including, but of course not limited to, creating and sticking to the timeline, set up, and clean up). The day was stress free. We truly just showed up, had fun, and created the best memories. The team even noticed when we may have needed sun screen during the reception. Allanah went above and beyond for us. We highly recommend working with Allanah, especially for a Hartwood Acres wedding!

We are so glad we chose Hello Productions, and specifically Allanah, for our wedding coordination needs. Allanah was not only extremely knowledgeable, kind, and organized, but she also gave great guidance and helped us navigate the whole process. The entire day was perfect, and Allanah and her team made it all look effortless. If we could do it all over again, we’d choose Allanah in a heartbeat! Thank you!

We contracted Ashley Kurkiewicz with Hello Productions for the "Final Details & Day-Of Wedding Coordinator" package and it was one of the best choices we made for our 150-guest wedding. Ashley and her team went above and beyond to make sure that everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. We even had guests comment on how amazing they were. Ashley and her team's expertise was so very much appreciated and allowed us to make decisions without thinking twice, knowing that they have our best interests in mind. We would highly recommend their services to anyone.

Alyson and her team at Hello Productions are true professionals. Honestly a dream pairing and we could not be happier with our wedding. We’ll have hilarious memories of our zoom meetings for years to come. I wish I could give Alyson more than 5 stars because this rating system doesn’t do it justice. She’s the best. Cheers!

Christina and crew were professional, thoughtful, present at every critical moment and went out of their way to make my daughter's wedding perfect. When two glitches arose during the reception, they were immediately dealt with, without needing my involvement. Christina also helped with planning every detail, helping an artistically impaired mom and daughter finalize a "look" for wedding and reception. She coordinated with our vendors and our venue, handled delivery of brunch/coffee and a late snack for bridal party to keep everyone going over the course of a long day, and was awesome to work with. One of the best decisions we made.

Our wedding day was nothing short of a fairytale, and the enchantment was made possible by the incredible expertise and dedication of Christina and the outstanding HP team. From the moment we entrusted them with our vision to the grand finale of our reception, every detail was orchestrated with precision, care, and an unwavering commitment to perfection. Christina's ability to transform ideas into reality is nothing short of magical. Her creativity and keen eye for design turned our dreams into a breathtaking reality. Christina's attention to detail ensured that no element was overlooked, creating a visually stunning and cohesive atmosphere that left our guests in awe. The coordination and planning executed by Christina and her team were nothing short of flawless. The seamless orchestration of the ceremony, the timely transitions between events, and the impeccable flow of the entire day were a testament to their professionalism and organizational prowess. They anticipated every need, leaving us free to savor every precious moment without a hint of stress or worry. What truly sets Christina apart is her genuine passion for creating extraordinary experiences. Her warmth and enthusiasm made the planning process not only efficient but also enjoyable. Christina took the time to understand our vision, offering valuable insights and guidance while incorporating our personal touches. Her unwavering dedication to making our day unique and memorable was evident in every decision made. On the day of the wedding, Christina and her team worked tirelessly behind the scenes, ensuring that everything ran like clockwork. Their calming presence and quick problem-solving skills turned any potential hiccup into a mere whisper, allowing us to revel in the joy of our celebration without a care in the world. Christina's professionalism extends beyond the planning process; her communication was prompt, transparent, and accommodating to our needs. She listened to our concerns, addressed them promptly, and provided valuable suggestions that enhanced the overall experience. In conclusion, choosing Christina and the HP team was the best decision we made for our wedding. Their passion, creativity, and unwavering commitment to perfection transformed our special day into a masterpiece. If you're in search of a wedding planner who will turn your vision into a flawless reality, Christina and the exceptional HP team are the ones to trust. Our hearts are filled with gratitude for the dream wedding they orchestrated for us. Highly, highly recommended!

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding coordinator than Christina McLachlan. From the initial planning stages to the big day itself, they were an absolute dream to work with. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine passion for creating unforgettable experiences truly shone through every step of the way. Christina effortlessly managed all the logistics, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and seamlessly. Her calm demeanor and quick problem-solving skills put us at ease, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day without any stress or worries. Her creativity and flair for design transformed our vision into reality, exceeding all our expectations. Every little detail, from the décor to the timeline, was executed flawlessly, creating a magical atmosphere that our guests are still raving about. Most importantly, Christina went above and beyond to personalize our wedding, making sure it reflected our personalities and love story perfectly. We are immensely grateful to Christina and the whole Hello Productions team for their invaluable contribution to our wedding day. They played a pivotal role in making it the happiest day of our lives, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of a phenomenal wedding coordinator.

We worked with Christina McLachlan as our wedding planner, and simply put, she was amazing! Our wedding would not have happened without her. We live on the west coast, but we wanted to get married in Pittsburgh near family. Christina worked with us for about 1.5 years in total, from helping us look at venues at the very beginning, to running the whole show on our wedding day. She was always very accommodating of our time zone difference, willing to FaceTime us after we finished work (her 8pm). Also, she let us ship things to her house so we didn't have to fly everything across the country, which was so thoughtful. She helped us execute our vision for exactly what we wanted and made working with all of our vendors a breeze. Christina helped us throw an amazing wedding while staying within our budget. In the week leading up to our wedding, Christina made sure all vendors were on the same page, everything was ordered and printed, and that we knew the timelines for everything. We were able to fully experience and enjoy our wedding knowing that any problems would be taken care of. And, Christina's work speaks for itself! After our wedding, my newly-engaged cousin immediately asked for Christina's contact information and signed up to have her plan his wedding. We were so fortunate to have found Christina and highly recommend her planning services!

We had an amazing experience with Alyson at Hello Productions! We did the ‘Day of’ planning option and it turned out perfect! Alyson met with us a few months out to go through the details of our day, and was available for any questions throughout the planning process. The day of our wedding, Alyson handled everything and truly made the day stress free! (For someone who found planning extremely stressful - to wake up the morning of with no stress says a lot!). Every detail was exactly as we envisioned and Alyson was so easy to work with. All of our family also let us know how helpful she was. We would definitely recommend her to anyone getting married!

I can’t recommend Hello Productions and specifically Alyson enough. Not only is she quite possibly the sweetest human ever, but it was thanks to her (and her wonderful assistant!) that our day ran so smoothly—we had a slight hiccup when the limo carrying the entire wedding party from the church to the venue broke down, but Alyson and her assistant were already at the venue to take care of everything. We picked the “Final Details” package, so it was just day-of services, but we were in touch with Alyson multiple times before the wedding. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her; she has such incredible attention to detail both in terms of logistics as well as in terms of decor—the way she decorated the reception space was more beautiful than I ever could have dreamed. Truly, my husband and I can’t say enough good things about her and Hello Productions. From the first meeting a month out, to dealing with a broken down limo, to the hair tie she gave me at the end of the night because all I wanted was to get my hair up—Alyson handled every detail, no matter how big or insignificant, beautifully. I will absolutely be recommending Hello Productions/Alyson to any future couple I know in search of a planner! Thank you so, so much Alyson!

Allanah worked with us over two years to make our wedding absolutely perfect. She was such a huge and integral part of the wedding planning process and day itself. She brought an amazingly rolodex of vendors to us which saved us so much headache and time from day one. She had intimidate contacts at each vendor that would reply to her in an incredibly fast timeframe. I once tried to find my own vendor and it was such a merry-go-round of finding how to contact, waiting for a response, hoping they'd be good and professional - it gave me a whole new perspective on ways we ended up saving money and stress with Allanah. Both my partner and I had wacky schedules because of working in healthcare and she was always able to make off-hours work. It was so kind and not something we had the benefit of very often. She showed up to every vendor appointment with our best interests in mind. We never felt pressured to spend a certain amount with any vendor and knew she'd find anything that we'd missed or her professional knowledge as a planner would catch. The two weeks leading up to the wedding I unfortunately faced an insanely stressful time at work -- I have no idea how I would've handled 10+ vendors emails me for timelines, payment and information without Allanah and working 10 hour days. She treated or family as her own and we loved having her at the wedding itself. Honestly nothing went wrong at our actual wedding (Hienz Chapel & Soldiers and Sailors Memorial) that *I knew of* which most likely means Allanah fixed one thousand things behind the scenes the day of I never had to think about. At the end of the night my partner and I just left without even thinking or worrying about vendors getting what they needed or anything being wrapped up. It's been about four weeks since the day and I haven't had one out of those 10 vendors contact me to say they need something else or something was missed. She knew exactly how many assistants to bring to the wedding without me even considering that aspect. The two she brought were equally as wonderful. Like clockwork I'd turn around every so often and one would ask if I needed anything and check if I was okay. In the end she was the best hype girl a bride could ask for. You can tell she genuinely cared about us and our day. Walking into that big room of decorations for the reception was so special for me, and looking back to see how special it seemed to her will always be a core memory of the day to know we had someone who really cared with us.

We cannot recommend Hello Productions highly enough! We worked with Christina McLachlan and are so thankful for all of her time, effort, and support. We chose the "Day-of Coordination Package", hoping to make the day-of lower stress for us, but she was so helpful during the lead up as well! She was so warm and friendly, and gave us such great advice on so many details that we hadn't even considered! On the day, she and her team did an amazing job setting up the venue and keeping it moving so smoothly. We were able to just have fun and relax with our loved ones. At the end of the event, they took care of the clean up so seamlessly, we barely even noticed it happening! The day after our wedding, when reminiscing about the awesome night, we both expressed how thankful we were that we had such a great coordinator, and how we very literally could NOT have done it without her!

Christina made our wedding day absolutely seamless. We as the bridal party, our family and our guests were able to fully enjoy the day because we didn't have to worry about anything. She is extremely professional and knows the industry and local vendors VERY well. As a result, she knows how to get you the vision you want for your wedding, and offers even more creative ideas on top of that. I will say that there were some moments in the months leading up the wedding where I felt that her follow-up on certain tasks wasn't always timely, but everything did come together beautifully in the end. If I could, I would give a 4.5/5!

Not impressed with my day of coordinating experience. Allanah was very nice but she brought two assistants and it was mainly them chatting in the corner. The table decor looked terrible and my mother in law fixed them. Guests were entering the venue early and the DJ was playing the wrong playlist and my friends fixed both of those issues. I made a far more detailed itinerary to hand out to vendors myself. Once again, very sweet as a person but I expected more from a $2,500 service.

Thank you, Alyson, for everything that you did to make the wedding come off so beautifully. You were organized, reassuring, and terrific at getting all of the pieces to fit together, and you and your amazing team set up the venue to look magnificent. I will not hesitate to recommend you!

Hiring a wedding planner was easily the best decision we made during our wedding planning process! Allanah was THE BEST to work with! She was genuine, down to earth, and truly cared about making our wedding day everything we wanted it to be! She responded to countless emails, texts, and phone calls with allll the questions we had + she kept us on track with what needed to be completed with her super organized planning timeline. She attended meetings with us & always knew the right questions to ask other vendors because she has so much experience. At our rehearsal she made sure everyone felt comfortable & knew exactly what they were supposed to be doing. Then wedding day, she was behind the scene making sure every single detail fell into line perfectly from collaborating with vendors to decorating to glueing broken shoes back together! I didn't have to worry about one single thing on at our rehearsal or wedding day which was a huge blessing. My husband & I could just be present & enjoy our day! Thank you Allanah for everything you did to make it a tremendous day for us!

Our wedding planner, Alyson, was amazing! She was regularly in contact, was patient, thorough, and worked well with us, our family and bridal party, and our vendors. Before the wedding, she gave us recommendations and advice when we were stuck or needed help. In addition, she handled a crisis with our cake on the day of the wedding, fixed the cake as best as could be done, and then fought to get us a refund. On our side, the day was stress free thanks to Alyson. Wholeheartedly recommend.

We had the pleasure of working with Alyson as our Day-of-Coordinator. She was such a thoughtful and calming person to have in our corner during our wedding. From convincing the bride that she really truly didn't have to worry about doing anything, to going to find pitchers to serve water when my caterers disappeared, I can't say enough good things about working with Alyson. Having her there really let us (and our parents) just focus on having a blast celebrating our wedding.

If you are looking for Day of Coordination services, look no further. My husband and I had already made all the big decisions for our wedding, but we both knew that we didn't want to be stressed on the day of and truly wanted to experience every moment of our magical day. Our coordinator was Christina Affinito, and she was a dream to work with. She is organized, friendly, timely, brain when you don't have one (Bride brain is a thing!), and will help make your wedding a dream. Leading up to the big day, Christina helped create a perfect timeline of events. This became the foundation of our big day and truly the blueprint to event success. On the big day, Christina and her crew (Maddie and Alexandra) set up the venue perfectly. From the Welcome Sign down to the personalized coasters, everything was perfectly set and waiting for our guests to arrive. All of our guests even complimented how wonderful this team was. At the end of the night, they had everything packaged up and ready to go home. My husband and I didn't stress even a moment. The only thing I wish I could have done differently would be that I didn't get the opportunity to hug Christina, Maddie, and Alexandra. THANK YOU HELLO PRODUCTIONS TEAM, you all helped create the perfect day to start Andrew and I's forever! We are forever grateful for your work and will recommend you to everyone we know!

My husband and I got married in November of 2022, and we worked with Christina as our final details/day of coordinator. Besides for choosing the best husband, my second best choice for our wedding was working with Christina. She was professional, knowledgeable, and SO friendly. Christina contacted all of our vendors to finalize arrival and departure times (a task that doesn’t seem that big until you actually have to do it…), she answered any questions I had (even before she was “required” to according to our contract), she made sure that our wedding day stayed on schedule (something I was most nervous about), she lead the set up of my decorations and center pieces, gave helpful reminders to our wedding party all day, and helped to problem solve anything that popped up. The day of my wedding, I did not have to worry about one single thing besides for being present and enjoying the entire day. Having a planner (specifically Christina) was worth EVERY penny. Christina was an advocate for me and did everything she could to make our day special and memorable.

Purchasing the day-of coordination package for our wedding day was hands down the best money we spent on our wedding. Alyson was an absolute dream to work with! Everything turned out exactly how I dreamed it would, and knowing that her and her team had everything under control meant I could genuinely relax and really focus on the joy and excitement of the day. On top of executing all the ideas that were floating around in my head perfectly and keeping everyone on schedule, she sewed my dress back together not once but TWICE (a loop on my bustle broke and I danced too hard and broke a strap). What sounds like most brides' nightmare didn't even register as a problem (and honestly makes me laugh thinking back on it now) knowing that Alyson was there to rescue me! I can't recommend Hello Productions enough.

We worked with Christina McLachlan for our 'final stretch' and 'day of' wedding planning....and we're so glad that we did! Christina and her team helped us put out many fires leading up to (and on) our big day, including advocating on our behalf with vendors, running to the bakery when the wrong cake arrived (no, not kidding!), changing the run of show on the fly, etc. Her wealth of knowledge and contacts in the Pittsburgh wedding industry runs deep, not to mention she was a sense of calm for us throughout the process. Oh! And the end result was better than we could have even dreamed. THANK YOU!!!

Christina was our wedding coordinator, and she is just such a sweet person! She truly cares about making your day what you envision! Over the time we worked with her, she truly became a friend! Also, our wedding day ran flawlessly!! We truly never had to worry about any logistics on the day of. We were able to enjoy our day and Christina and her team helped to create such a beautiful wedding!!!! It was the best day of our lives, and we were so happy to have Christina as a part of it!!!! If you are looking for someone who will be your cheerleader, your therapist, your organizer, and your friend, book Christina!!!! 🥰🥰

Alyson made our wedding day a breeze! From our first meeting, I knew that Alyson and Hello Productions were the correct choice. She is warm, competent, professional, and calm. She helped coordinate everything and meeting with her made the whole process easier. On the day of the wedding, Alyson and Danielle took care ofmaking sure everything was set up, cleaned up, and where it was supposed to be. She truly made the day perfect. I was able to focus on my new husband and my family instead of the details. Highly recommend!

Allanah was AMAZING to work with. If you want someone who is really going to take the time and energy into planning every single detail of your big day HIRE HER IMMEDIATELY!! I can’t say enough wonderful things about her and I hope that everyone will immediately book with her because of how passionate she is with what she does.

I used Hello Productions for day-of coordination and design for my wedding on 7/16/22 and Christina McLachlan was my planner. From my first conversation with Christina, I knew she was a perfect fit- she is kind, professional, detail-oriented, and listened to everything that I wanted for my wedding day. Christina played such a crucial role in bringing my design vision to life, but even more importantly, allowed me to plan with my wedding with significantly less stress and made it more fun and exciting. We unfortunately ran into some issues with my caterer in the weeks leading up to the wedding and Christina truly went above and beyond to take care of the problems and advocate for me. I had complete confidence that my wedding day would be perfect and seamless with Christina leading things (and it absolutely was!!!). Christina was such a pleasure to work with- so wonderfully professional, but also felt like a friend that was helping me plan my wedding. Future brides, if you are considering hiring a planner/day-of coordinator, HIRE CHRISTINA!!!! She is just simply the best.

My daughter’s wedding was at Hartwood Acres 7/9/22. Vendor setup can only begin at 10:00 am day of event. The amount of work setting up in such a short time frame seemed overwhelming to us. But Allanah from Hello Productions carried out day of coordination perfectly! The transformation of the venue from 10:00am-2:00 pm was nothing short of magical. Her helpful, pleasant demeanor made it easy to work with her. I highly recommend Hello Productions and Allanah!

I can't thank Allanah and Hello Productions for helping make our wedding the event of a lifetime! She was supportive, handled all "emergencies" before I even had time to be concerned and helped make my vision come to life. She was great with emails and connecting me with the right people. She listened to budget concerns and helped us get our the perfect vendors for us! I would highly recommend Hello Productions and Allanah as your event planner for your big day!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Hello Productions and especially my coordinator, Alexandra. From the moment I inquired about services until the wedding itself, she and her coworkers were nothing but helpful and supportive. She was beyond organized and on top of handling unexpected changes. Getting a wedding coordinator always seemed like something a little over-the-top for me, but having Alexandra and her team proved to be invaluable not just from a logistical standpoint but also from an emotional one. She was so supportive when I felt mired in details and probably put in more hours than she should've for doing day-of coordination! If you're at all on the fence about it, go with Hello Productions, they are the absolute best. Thank you guys again for such a fantastic day!

We are so thankful for Allanah Ebenstein; we could not have had the successful wedding we did without her. She was perfectly matched with us, and from day 1 we knew we were in good hands. I am a planner, and I loved putting together our wedding. That being said, Allanah knew when to let me do my thing, and she also knew when to weigh in. She was AMAZING at advocating for us when it came to catering needs, venue accommodations, and so much more. She always thought of things that were outside of the box, and there were many times where things were accomplished and I never even had to bother thinking about them. We hired Allanah through Hello Productions for full service planning, and this was one of the best decisions we made. From the constant contact, timely responses, vendor recommendations, and solution-focused approach to all things wedding related, Allanah exceeded our expectations. In short, we would happily hire her again for all planning needs, and we would HIGHLY recommend her for your upcoming events.

The main reason I wanted to work with Hello Productions is because from our very first conversation, Christina made me feel like someone else was just as excited about not only bringing our wedding vision to life but also, and more importantly, our relationship and what got us (me and my now husband) here – and I knew instantly that I wanted her to be part of our wedding day. She got to know us on a personal level during the planning process and it made such a difference in how everything came together. On our wedding day, both of us, our parents and other family members were able to fully enjoy every moment and not worry about anything – Christina made sure of it. She and Alexandra (who is also amazing!) were totally on top of it. Plus, their existing relationships with our other vendors in the Pittsburgh wedding community added to the day. Everyone was on the same page and it flowed so well. Our wedding felt like a dream and we could not have asked for a better vendor team to make it happen. Christina & Alexandra went above and beyond to make sure we were happy (and I don’t think we could have been any happier!) leading up to and throughout our entire wedding. Truly, I cannot thank them enough for helping to make our wedding so special and memorable.

Christina was our day-of wedding coordinator and she did an absolutely fantastic job! We communicated with her via email and phone in the months leading up to the wedding, and she was extremely professional and provided helpful advice in many instances. She and the Hello Productions team took care of all the details (venue set up, coordinating the night with all the vendors, personally packing up and bringing items to our hotel towards the end of the night, etc.) during our wedding day and helped execute and cater to our vision. Christina did an amazing job and we were so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with her on our special day!

Christina went above and beyond all expectations. I was planning a wedding through COVID (meaning many changes needed to be made last minute) and I truly do not know what I would’ve done without her. Through my mini freak outs, Christina knew exactly what to do and what to say to not only make me feel better but fix whatever problem we faced. She truly got to know me as a person and therefore was able to cater to me and my needs perfectly. That being said, she was easily able to gain an understand of my vision, what I liked and didn’t like, and helped me execute exactly what I was envisioning. Day-of I didn’t have a single worry (as it should be) and everything went smoothly, which I can thank Christina and Hello Productions for. I was originally planning on not hiring a wedding planner, but I am so glad I did. Without a doubt, the best money we spent throughout the wedding process. I recommend all brides hire a planner. All in all, you can’t go wrong with Hello Productions, specifically Christina!

Christina and her crew absolutely made my wedding day! I never stressed or worried about if things were done, or what happens if an issue pops up because they were on it! They took care of any little thing I needed (setting the venue up, dealing with vendors, packing up cars the night of with our items, and so much more). If you’re wondering if you should invest - the answer is yes! Not only did I not have to worry, but my mother and rest of my family were able to enjoy the night as well! I would hire Christina again in a heartbeat, it was well worth it!!

Christina from Hello Productions did nothing for us except hit homeruns!! She walked us through EVERY SINGLE aspect of our wedding and made planning our big day an absolute breeze... we had no idea how much went into planning a wedding until we met Christina. It was only overwhelming for a quick second and then she literally held our hand the entire way by making suggestions and giving us all of our options. She helped us to stay on budget and save money while still getting every single thing we wanted. Our wedding could not of turned out any more perfect and the process of pulling of our perfect dream day was actually fun! We looked forward to all of our zooms, phone calls and meetings with Christina. She is not our wedding planner anymore but now our friend. She is an awesome person in the absolute right job space for herself... we have already recommended her to friends that are recently engaged! If you and your fiance are looking to hire a wedding planner I'd say stop the hunt after reading this review and give her a call! - The Conroys ❤

We could not recommend the Hello Productions team more highly! Our pandemic wedding took nearly two years to plan, with plenty of postponements, rebookings, and last-minute reshuffling to manage, so we ended up spending a lot of time with our amazing planner, Natasha, who is experienced, creative, and so talented at what she does. She immediately understood our vision and helped us to plan a cohesive, guest-focused, and fully vegan (!) wedding weekend that our friends and family will remember forever. What really sets Natasha and her team apart, from our perspective, is their network of vendor relationships and partnerships. All of our vendors – from venue and caterer to florals, stationery, and bar staff – really went the extra mile for us with Natasha in our corner.

Christina from the Hello team was our guide through the entire stressful time of trying to plan and replan our wedding due to COVID-19. While we only hired her and her assistants for Day Of Coordination, she went above and beyond in March and April 2020 to make sure we were moving forward in a matter that brought us peace. Fast forward to when we finally got to celebrate our big day in June 2021 and her and her team made our day extra stress free. Christina was super positive, on top of it, and even helped us with last minute needs. Since we were planning all of this from out of town, she definitely helped us have peace of mind up to the big day. Her assistants were also very positive and flexible. Together they took care of everything day of. They helped bustle my wedding dress, and even danced with the flower girl when she asked before the party got started. We would definitely recommend Hello Productions to friends in the Pittsburgh area. Day of coordination was definitely worth it and we are very pleased with our decision to work with Hello Productions.

Christina and her assistants were simply amazing!!!! As the mother of the bride… I was relaxed and enjoyed every detail of her special day! Would truly recommend to anyone planning any type of function or celebration!

Christina and her team were a dream to work with from the beginning! From our first phone conversation Christina got me feeling excited about my wedding again since at the time I was feeling a little overwhelmed and just stressed about the whole thing. When on my wedding day one of my vendors had an issue and reached out to me directly instead of her, she went to war for me with this particular vendor. This vendor happened to be our transportation as well so she ended up driving me and my dad in her own car from our reception venue to our ceremony venue. Then during our reception we made some last minute changes to our day of timeline and we had a mini 10 minute dance party but our cake was on the dance floor, her and her assistants guarded our cake with their LIVES while us and the rest of our crazy guests danced the following 10 minutes away. I could not have asked for a better day of coordinator to help manage all of the bumps in the road that occurred on the day of my wedding.

WOW! I have nothing but amazing things to say about Allanah and her team. When I first started planning my wedding, I wasn't sure if I would need a wedding planner. Now after going through my wedding day and a whole year of planning, it became evident that they were absolutely essential for my wedding day!! Allanah was with me the whole way to plan, organize, coordinate and book many different vendors! Allanah took the vision for my wedding and brought it to life. She made sure everything went off without a hitch and that everyone and everything was where it needed to be. I had multiple different vendors, and she made sure that they were all at the venue and everything looked as it should. She arranged a timeline for my wedding day and made sure all my vendors had it. She also answered all of my questions and was always available if I needed her. My wedding was absolutely perfect and it was all thanks to her. Book this company! You will not be disappointed. I never needed to worry or stress about anything because I knew Allanah was handling it all. You will not regret booking them. They will give you a stress-free, beautiful wedding day!

We cannot thank Allanah and her team at Hello Productions enough for making sure our wedding day was perfect. We hired her less than 3 weeks before our wedding when our venue coordinator unexpectedly resigned. She truly saved the day and relieved us of all our stress! We were all smiles the entire reception knowing that we were in good hands and didn't have a thing to worry about. I sent her pictures of our "vision" before the wedding, and my jaw dropped when we walked into the reception because she nailed every. single. detail. Allanah went above and beyond for us, between offering to drive our decorations to the venue the week of the wedding, bringing us glasses of water on the dance floor throughout the night, and sending my bridal bouquet to the preservation company for me after the wedding so we could jet off to our honeymoon! She also made sure our decorations were packed nicely at the end of the night to allow for an easy pickup the next day when we were exhausted. (And so much more!) I never thought a day-of coordinator would be needed since I'm pretty organized, but our only regret is that we wished we had hired her earlier into the wedding planning process! She is truly a gem and will make sure your day is incredible.

Natasha Learn was our planner for the last 2+ years and I am BEYOND grateful for her and her services. She quickly became a part of my family and she was insanely knowledgeable and helpful during the entire process. She was available to me throughout this time and made everything so fun and easy. She was compassionate and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our wedding day. We had waited a very long time for this and Natasha made sure that everything was absolutely perfect. I will be forever grateful for her and I now consider her a wonderful friend.

Allanah Ebenstein was our planner for my son’s last minute backyard wedding. She really helped in finding our vendors so last minute. It was wonderful to have her help leading up to the wedding and especially the day of the wedding. I would absolutely recommend her as a planner.

Christina McLachlan was our planner from start to finish of our March 2021 wedding. Because of the pandemic, we had to change our venue less than two months before our wedding and we couldn't have done it without Christina. When I was overwhelmed by the changes and how much needed to get done/be decided on in a short period of time, Christina worked with our vendors for us and got everything done. Despite it being in a different venue than we had planned, our wedding turned out so much better than we ever could have imagined. On the day of the wedding, we (and our parents) felt relaxed and were able to just sit back and enjoy the day because we felt fully confident in Christina and knew she would do an amazing job pulling everything together. The clasp on the back of my dress even broke during cocktail hour and I still felt calm and in good hands as one of Christina's team members sewed me into my dress! We are so thankful to Christina for all of her hard work to make our wedding day so amazing. If you are debating if you need a wedding planner, the answer is yes and you should pick Christina! It will just allow you and your family to enjoy your wedding day that much more since you will have no reason to worry or stress.

I used Hello Productions for a 'day of coordinator' and I couldn't have been happier with their service. Allanah and her assistant went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect. She was super responsive in the months leading up to the big day and fantastic on the day of.

10.3.20 wedding Thank you soooooo much from the bottom our hearts for helping make our day ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Due to the pandemic, we had to make a lot of changes to our original wedding plans. When things started to get crazy and I wasn’t sure where to turn to next, I started thinking about a final details/day of wedding coordinator. Natasha with Hello Productions was great since day one! I had a lot of things already planned on my own, but she was quick and easy to ask questions to. With many last minute changes, I wasn't sure how the reception room was going to look or how the day would be (I kinda lost my vision) but it couldn't have been more romantic and more perfect. Natasha made sure every detail was perfect and I was blown away! We are humbled and honored to have had a perfect day that we have waited so long for surrounded by ALL of the BEST people! I don't think the day could have gotten "more us"!!

Christina at Hello Productions was worth every penny! We hired Hello for Month of/ Day of Coordination services after starting to plan our second wedding (because of COVID). Christina has such a great relationship with all of the vendors we already hired which helped with the coordination and bringing our vision to life. Her attention to detail is unparalleled and she is big on communication. Up until the day of I probably talked to her 2 times a day. All in all she made sure our day went off with out a hitch and our dreams come true!

As a mother of a now 21-month old, with a full-time job, living in NC, my fiancé and I knew we needed a wedding planner for our out-of-state wedding in Pittsburgh! I interviewed a couple of planners and felt immediately comfortable with Natasha (Brody) Katic. She has an amazing ability to stay calm, collected and take fast action when needed. These attributes were an absolute Godsend when our May 2020 wedding was postponed due to Covid-19 and rescheduled for August 2020. When some of our initial vendors retained their deposit and informed us that they were not available for the new August date, Natasha found new talent quickly and they did an amazing job (Thank you Sky's the Limit Photography and DJ Underdog!) Three weeks before our August 15th date, our chosen venue for the reception was not going to be open so we had to replan the ENTIRE reception in 21 days! Natasha immediately found a beautiful outdoor venue at Shady Elms Farm that was actually available, all inclusive and simply amazing! The compliments on style, detail and the flow of events keep coming in. Cramming all the paperwork and payments and calls in the last weeks got pretty intense while also trying to work from home with a baby. When the weight of it all got too much, she stepped in and did everything she could to help and even put her therapist hat on when I needed an ear. Let it be known that Natasha Katic didn't just plan our wedding, she replanned a full reception in three weeks during a global pandemic. With every detail in place on the day of, you would have thought we had the full year! If you had any shadow of a doubt about her abilities, this should ease your mind. Thank you so much Hello Productions for choosing to stay with us and helping us on our journey during such a unique and uncertain season!

I proposed to my now wife last April and as we were in search for a wedding planner we ultimately decided on Christina McLachlan. We thank our lucky stars that we did! Christina was an absolute MVP and rock star throughout the entire process. The pandemic threw us a ton of challenges, ups, and downs but Christina never flinched. She's an incredibly sweet person, punctual, professional and gets things done in the most efficient way. My wife and I just got married on 8/29 and we had the PERFECT day. Christina saw my wife's vision and absolutely hit it on the head. I cannot recommend her enough as she was instrumental in creating the perfect wedding day for my wife and I! Christina made my wife and I feel at ease throughout the process and we felt so supported during uncertain times. We could tell early on that she really cared about us and we never really felt like we were just "clients". We can't thank her enough for her hard work, flexibility, and making our day wonderful!

I cannot say enough about how much you MUST have a wedding planner! I am a Type A person and have a lot of free time, so I was reluctant to hire a "day-of coordinator" for my wedding, thinking I can do everything myself. I ultimately hired Christina through Hello Productions because enough of my friends who were former brides strongly recommended one, saying I'll need a second set of hands available the day of the wedding so that the stress does not fall on you and your mom! My wedding was at a country club, which came with a coordinator as well, BUT WOW were they right about hiring a formal wedding coordinator! First of all, even before Covid happened, Christina was ON. TOP. OF. IT. Always available for questions and support early on in the planning process, prior to the start of the basic package I hired her for. As more and more of the wedding process was under way, more & more things came up that my mom would stress over wondering who would do it or how it would get done, I became more & more thankful I was going to have that second set of hands. THEN Covid happened, and oh my goodness gracious how blessed my family & I were to have Christina! My county shut down 2 weeks before my wedding, so Christina stepped in & took over re-planning our safe outdoor gathering with literally 14 days to go, and she nailed our dream wedding. I want to cry just thinking about how thankful I am that I had such an ally throughout that process. She went above & beyond what we hired her for and didn't think twice of it; her heart is truly with that of the bride, determined to give all of her clients their dream weddings. Then, on the day of the wedding, her work doesn't stop! She was busier than every coordinating the 10 vendors on the property starting first thing in the morning. Also, if I haven't convinced you yet, WEDDING PLANNERS SAVE YOU MONEY. They are sharks in the business willing to fight for better deals, willing to print your menus and table numbers and escort signs for pennies on the dollar compared to that of Minted or elsewhere. Now, I'm not sure if that perk goes with the basic "day-of" package I purchased or if they were just being nice, but it's definitely something to consider when pricing out your budget. Finally, if you appreciate how much your wedding coordinator does for you, or if your wedding coordinator was only hired for day-of coordinating but goes above & beyond for you, don't forget them when you tip the night of the wedding to show your appreciation! (Though they do not expect this!) Also, in case I haven't mentioned this yet, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHRISTINA if she is available! Though I'm sure they're all amazing!

Allanah and Ashley were incredible to work with! We had to postpone our original wedding and replan a much smaller wedding in the midst of COVID-19. I cannot say enough about their help in this process. They minimized our stress and were so supportive and positive in the process. Our wedding turned out better than we could have ever imagined. We are forever grateful for their help!

Lengthy review of mine posted on google if youd like the details.

Natasha Learn made our special day even more perfect than we could have imagined! When we first met for our introduction meeting, we knew immediately we made the right decision. Natasha’s attention to detail and expertise made the whole process from start to finish memorable and enjoyable. Every wedding meeting we had with potential vendors could not have been done without her. Natasha knew exactly what to ask for, and without this, we would not have had our perfect day turn out the way it did! She knew exactly what we wanted and made us feel at ease throughout the process. The day of the wedding was so lovely and stress free because of Natasha and her team’s hard work, and we couldn't be more grateful. To say she made our dreams come true is an understatement. I 100% recommend Natasha Learn to anyone who wants their perfect day to become a reality!

Utilizing the services from Hello Productions was key to making our wedding a success! Natasha Learn made our process SEAMLESS from beginning to end and we our forever grateful for her assistance. Our day couldn't have been any more perfect! Natasha was patient, compassionate, and so genuine working with my husband and I. My family was also in ahh with the organization and focus that went into our day. Natasha, thank you!!!!

We love working with Natasha Brody at The Grand Estate she is very organized and provides a calming presence on a very busy wedding day. I would highly recommend her for her wedding planning service.

I hired Natasha Brody over a year before my wedding for full planning services. I struggle visualizing when trying to make my vision a reality, and Natasha completely took the stress of that away! She was always honest if she thought something wouldn't work out, but also did everything she could to execute what I was asking for. When the day of finally came, everything was executed to perfection. I cried when we first saw our reception space! She also has connections with amazing vendors in Pittsburgh.

Hello Productions and Natasha Learn were an absolutely dream to work with for our wedding! Natasha Learn was our wedding planner and we absolutely loved her. We chose to have Natasha with us from the beginning to the end and it was honestly worth it. When asked any advice in wedding planning my first response is to hire a wedding planner after working with Natasha.. Natasha was a dream to work and communicate with. Natasha was super organized and very detailed oriented. Natasha was always on top of everything and really listened to what we wanted for our big day. We started planning our wedding while we were living in Austin TX and we were nervous about how we could pull this off from miles away. We knew we could trust Natasha from the start. The whole decision making process was SO easy with Natasha. Natasha provided us with a detailed budget tracker and timeline of “to do” tasks from the start. We started with monthly to do list and then as we got closer to the wedding we worked on weekly/daily to do list. We told Natasha our vision and she pulled together options for every single vendor, décor, save the dates, invitations etc. She pulled together our vibe and theme from the start. Natasha set up all communication with our vendors making it super easy. If there was ever an issue or something we needed to take care of Natasha was already on it. Natasha attended all of our vendor meetings and was super prepared with questions we already discussed. Natasha was well spoken, organized and professional in person and through email. There was a big sense of ease and comfort in knowing Natasha was making sure we were sticking to our budget. Our wedding was an absolute dream! Everything came together so perfectly. My parents were so pleased with the timeline of events and the vendor set up for the day of the wedding. My biggest concern was making sure I trusted someone for the day of the wedding because I knew my family would be with me getting ready. Everything ran SO smoothly for both bride and groom. Natasha made me feel so calm and relaxed on my wedding day. After the wedding, Natasha and her team handled clean up and personally delivered everything to my hotel. We were able to soak up and enjoy post wedding bliss with our family and friends. We have received SO many compliments from our wedding and it is all because of Natasha. I highly recommend Natasha Learn and Hello Productions. You will not be disappointed!

Christina was such a pleasure to work with! We chose day of planning but she started helping coordinate with vendors and organizing our wedding timeline a few months prior to our wedding day which was very helpful. She was always very prompt with answering emails and texts with any questions I had. Christina and her assistants truly helped make our wedding day come together perfectly and I couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank you Christina!

Natasha was amazing! If you are stressed about planning, I highly recommend Hello Productions! I chose the the Beginning to End Planning Package and it was WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! My wedding was at Phipps Conservatory and we live in Florida, so everything we were doing was from long distance. Natasha was extremely organized and provided me with a detailed budget tracker, multiple timelines, vendor spreadsheets, and monthly/weekly to-do lists. She created multiple vendor searches and provided me with options and contacts for every single detail. She created a personalized mood board and helped me find favors, decorations, a website, invitations, save-the-dates so that everything was on theme! She helped me set up vendor appointments and accompanied me on conference calls and meetings when needed. During the wedding, her and her team were so helpful! They set up everything, printed and delivered all of my signs, coordinated all contact with vendors. She was cool, calm, and collected and made me feel relaxed and taken care of! I was able to enjoy the day and not worry about anything! After the wedding, I was able to leave and enjoy the rest of the night, her team handled clean-up and delivery to my hotel! Natasha was so easy to work with, responsible, organized, extremely professional, and an absolute joy! During vendor meetings she had lists of questions and made sure everything was correct and what I wanted! She answered every email, text, and phone call in a timely manner. I highly highly recommend Hello Productions and you will not be disappointed! I do not have one single complaint!

Natasha helped us plan our wedding in Pittsburgh while we were living in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She made our lives so easy! We are so glad that we worked with such a helpful and thoughful planner. She helped our vision come to life and guided us through the entire planning process. From vendor selection to special touches that made our wedding feel unique to us, Natasha and her team were there to help. On the day of our wedding everything was so easy and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Natasha and her assistant were there to help decorate, coordinate, and clean up. Highly recommend!

Hiring a wedding planner was the best money we ever spent! Natasha was so professional, resourceful and organized, and she was an absolute dream to work with. She has planned so many weddings that she has an incredible depth of experience and knowledge about what works in what venues and she helped us find professional, amazing vendors to round out the team. She’s also just a really cool person, and we truly enjoyed our meetings with her. Natasha made our February wedding at Phipps the most incredible, special day we ever could have dreamed of!

Hello productions was the best. I worked with Natasha Brody and she became like family as she helped me plan my wedding for almost a year and a half. She knew exactly what my vision was and knew who to talk to and what to do. She made every step of the way a breeze and so much less stressful. Everything was executed flawlessly and I couldn’t have been more happy with the work done.

I am so, so glad that we hired Natasha Learn for our wedding. We had actually already had a venue coordinator that came with our reception venue, but since the wedding and reception were in two locations, I wanted to hire one person to act as the go-to. So I hired her as a day-of coordinator and she was worth her weight in gold. I had many guests say that it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended, and I give a lot of that credit to Nathasha’s work on coordinating a seamless night. Even though she was a day-of coordinator, she started doing a lot of scheduling, phone and email correspondence, and checking details with me about a month prior to the day. It was so nice to be able to hand over my 2+ years of planning to her and trust her to execute it. And she did so perfectly. She was very organized and helped me stay sane, and she always took every challenge I threw her way with a huge smile and enthusiasm. I had a lot of moving parts during my wedding. There was a church that wasn’t exactly easy to work with, a large bridal party, two bands, and 14 vendors in total. Almost every vendor was independent, so I didn’t make it easy on her. I think the best possible thing I could say about Nathasha’s work was that on the day of the wedding, my husband and I had an amazing time and even if there was chaos in the background (still to this day not sure if there was) we never saw or felt it. Thank you Nathasha for your hard work and professionalism - you helped create an event that I and many others will never forget!

Natasha Brody was our wedding planner for 10 months. Along with Natasha's incredibly sweet personality she listened to everything we asked. We first met Natasha at a coffee shop and discussed everything we wanted with out wedding. She then gave us a quote the following day and we immediately got to work. When ever we were indecisive or started going off track with out planning Natasha guided us back on track! She never over stepped and always had our best interest in mind with all of her decisions. She was very well organized and that showed on day of. It was literally the best day of our lives and she let us enjoy it with not a second of stress. I HIGHLY recommend working with Natasha, I promise you she will help give you the wedding of your dreams!!!

We don't have enough words to describe how wonderful it was to work with Natasha the 8 months leading up to our wedding weekend. We had two weddings on two separate days (Hindu and Christian), and with Natasha by our side, it felt seamless. Family and friends were amazed and impressed that this Hindu wedding was her first to plan! She was a calm force throughout the weekend, and her presence just made us feel like we were always in control. We still get compliments of how beautiful the weekend was, and we owe a lot of that to Natasha and her team. Xoxo

We hired Natasha Learn for a full wedding package in 2015. With a rollercoaster of life events, we didn’t end up getting married until 2018, so we worked with her for almost 3 years. Let me tell you, the entire time she was AMAZING!!! Having made an international move, changed our date 3 times, had a baby (the list goes on and on) she never once made us feel like our requests were ridiculous or that we were asking too much of her. She is extremely communicative, thorough, and detailed and that is what you need from your wedding planner. Above all else, she has an incredible eye for design and will search to the ends of the earth to find you the right vendor or artist. Everyone involved with our wedding could not give Natasha enough praise and honestly our wedding wouldn’t have been possible without her. She is not only a fabulous wedding planner but an amazing, genuine person. Thank you so much, Tasha! xo

We decided to hire an hourly day of coordinator to help with logistics, drop-off and all the things we didn't want any of our guests to have to worry about. I can 100% say that it was an excellent decision. We worked with Christina who I instantly felt like I could rely on. She was very organized, experienced, responsive and felt like a friend which made it so easy to hand off tasks and not think about them again. Christina was also very thoughtful...texting me a lovely "happy wedding day" message and asking if I wanted any sneak peeks of the venue. If I could go back and hire her for the whole planning process I would have. They were reasonably priced and worked with me to get the service I needed since my venue was a little strict.

Hiring Natasha Learn for our day-of coordinator was the smartest thing my husband and I did for our wedding. I can get very easily overwhelmed but Natasha made sure that did not happen. A month before the wedding, Natasha took over all the final details and made sure all my vendors were confirmed and created the best, most organized timeline for us. I did not have to do a single thing for the day of the wedding except get ready and relax because of Natasha! She was also very helpful in answering all my emails if I had any questions about weddings in general, or if I needed any decoration inspo. She was the best! I would recommend Natasha Learn to any bride that needs or wants any type of wedding coordination.

Absolutely recommend them to help with your wedding. We had them for day of coordinator and it was worth every penny. Do not hesitate to hire them, you will not be disappointed. Our wedding was so completely stress-free and everything went off without any problems due to the care they take and how present they were during the entire day(and months before!)
