Livin' The Pie Life

After reaching out to several local bakeries to inquire about wedding cakes, finding Livin the Pie Life was a gift from the wedding planning gods. I tired very quickly of sampling sessions with cover fees, the extensive questionnaires about my color schemes, and price minimums ($800+) of local bakeries for a wedding cake. And, let’s be honest, pies are better anyways. You get more flavors, meaning that there is literally something for everyone! I took my parents to Livin the Pie Life one day with the intent of buying some slices for us to sample. We met one of the owners, Heather, and told her that we were interested in buying slices to sample options for my wedding. To our surprise, we emerged not with slices but ENTIRE PIES. She gave us 3 (!) to sample for our wedding. After a couple of bites of each, we were all sold on the necessity of having Heather’s pies at our wedding. The rest of the process was super smooth sailing. Heather recommended 10 pies for our ~70 guests, but we went with 11 pies to have a bit of wiggle room. (And in case the cousins really loved the pies…which they did! It wasn’t all bad to have some pie leftover for post-wedding consumption either.) We paid the deposit and pie price in full, including a very reasonable delivery fee to our local wedding venue. Heather subsequently coordinated with our venue directly, removing us from the picture, but ensuring that our pies were baked and delivered on time. We chose 3 fall(-ish) flavors: caramel apple crumb, pumpkin praline, and s’mores. We added one s’mores pie as gluten free to accommodate several guests. All of the pies were AMAZING, and our guests LOVED sampling them. We had the easiest time working with Heather and the best wedding desserts in the greater DMV. Can’t wait to head back for more pies soon!

Heather and the staff at Livin’ the Pie Life are rock stars, plain and simple. We heard through a friend that their pies were to die for and that they had recently gone to a wedding where they were served when we first started thinking about what to serve for dessert at our wedding - we had a tasting and we were HOOKED. We had four different flavors served and every single one of our guests made a point to compliment how incredible the pies were. They were a hit! Heather and her staff were so easy to work with and made the dessert portion of our wedding planning a breeze. Thanks so much, Heather!!

Want something deliciously different at your wedding? Look no further. Pie Life makes the best pies I've ever eaten, seriously. Plus they are so accommodating and professional! When we told them the types of pies we were considering, they made us three large "test pies" in each flavor for FREE (normally ~$20 dollars each) with no obligation to book with them. They also custom made a peanut butter pie just for us! For the wedding itself, we went with mini-pies and they were the awesome. So many compliments from our guests :) Definitely the highlight of our dessert table!

Heather and her pies were a highlight of our wedding! Delicious! She made them fresh that day and had them delivered. Our guests very much like pie as a great end of a fun meal.
