Weddings Of Pittsburgh

- due to covid our original location for our wedding reception was no longer an option. We had two weeks before our wedding to move our reception and replan. We found a new venue, however there was no help provided by the venue for decor/reception set up. When hiring Tonya we were looking for someone to help decorate and set up for the reception. In the end We were able to pull off a beautiful wedding and were able to celebrate with our family and friends even on short notice. Tonya had a lot of resources and was able to provide the help that we needed to have a beautiful day.

I can't more highly recommend Tonya. It's 100 percent WORTH it to invest in wedding planning services, especially hers. She made the entire process so much easier for me. My situation was that I live and work in Ohio, but was getting married in Johnstown, PA -- where actually neither my family or my finance's family live. We grew up on either side of PA, so this was a central location. Tonya helped me find affordable vendors and from afar, she kept me on track via a detailed to-do-list and regular phone calls, emails and texts and a few in-person conversations, too, which included a visit to the venue we chose. Also prior to the wedding, she gave me advice on how to manage bridal party issues, helped plan my bridal shower and set up the day before. But I mean, when it comes down to it, what just completely blew me away was the wedding day. Literally so much went wrong, but because she was there, it didn't even matter. She just made it work, fixed it, communicated what needed to be done to everyone -- and I could just have fun. I don’t know how I would have handled it all and still enjoyed my wedding day without her. To begin with, I woke up at 2 am on my wedding day, stressed about how the hall was set up. It was a little different than I had envisioned it, and essentially I realized that I wanted to switch some table numbers around. The next morning, I called Tonya with this and a few other things, and she said she’d make it happen. She did. Later, before walking down the aisle at the church, she was the one to catch the fact that my bridesmaids and I forgot to put my the train on my dress down. She got it fixed with only two bridesmaids in front of me left to walk down the aisle. Then, for pictures, the limousine we rented couldn’t make it around a corner to my first choice photo destination. I had a rain back up plan (thanks to Tonya telling me again & again how important that was) & we got photos at the rain back up location instead. I pride myself in being prepared. But honestly, I couldn’t have imagined the limousine problem. Not in my wildest dreams. As a result, we were a half hour late to the reception. Tonya communicated everything to the caterers, DJ and my parents so that it seemed planned. That night, she and her team kept a drink in my hands at all times -- as requested. I was just pulled so many directions and was constantly putting my drink down. This simple thing meant so much to me. I really could just focus on being in the moment and being present with friends and family. And that's 100 percent thanks to Tonya. Anyways, maybe that’s more than most people need to hear! But I’m a huge Tonya fan. She truly is incredible, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception in our local Firehall. We had our head table on the stage and behind it had a bunch of wires and a projector screen. We were able to get draping from Tonya to cover up the wires and such. Also since the door was a clear glass we were able to get draping for right in front of the door so that people couldn’t see me walking in for the ceremony before we were ready for them too. I think it really tied everything together and made the space look so much better! I couldn’t have planned for a better day thanks to Tonya!

I have worked with Tonya as vendor, and I found the experience full of warmth, energy and humor. Tonya and her family are full of great ideas and solutions, and I felt immediately welcomed into the flow of the planning and execution of a stellar wedding experience. She made my job more fun and fluid.

I am a tyrannical control freak who had a vision for my daughters wedding and I am NEVER content with “good enough.” Tonya worked her magic with every vendor and the venue to make that vision a reality. Every need, demand and whim I had leading up to the wedding...Tonya somehow managed to make a reality. She doesn’t take “no” for an answer when it comes to getting what her client envisions. I can honestly say the planning and preparation for my daughter’s wedding was fun and stress-free. Isn’t that exactly what you’re looking for?

I don't know how I would have done this wedding without the help of Tonya and her girls. They were awesome! Tonya was so incredibly accommodating from day 1. I had pretty much all my wedding planned out and done myself (mistake, don't try and do that!) and my vendors were all over the place and I was just so completely overwhelmed with stress and didn't know what to do, so I hired her 2 months before my wedding and she came right in and took ownership of everything. She went through all the paperwork I had from every vendors. she got in contact with all of my vendors, and worked with them for me so I really could just relax finally and focus on what I needed to for my big day. Her girls were on site for our rehearsal and the day of and they, again, worked with all of my vendors so I had absolutely nothing to worry about besides arriving to my venue and getting married. They did the set up and clean up and they told us step by step what we would be doing. Tonya made herself available to answer any questions via text/call/email at all times. I could not have done it without them. I will recommend them to everyone!

Tonya is amazing, not just as a planner but as a person! Any stress, worries, concerns you have for your big day will be taken care of. She pays attention to all the details and is truly compassionate about her work. She has great ideas to make your day unique and personal. I would recommend Tonya a million times over.

Tonya is a simply the best! You want someone who understands your vision, and goes above and beyond to make it come true. Not only does tonya manage all the logistics for you, she is piece of mind. If I ever got worried about something or thought of something last minute, tonya simply put my mind at ease and would tell me everything is handled. This woman keeps you sane throughout the planning process! Best investment for your wedding!

One word.... fabulous!!!!!!!!! She is the best, our wedding was amazing !!! Her and her hubby aka the DJ were absolutely amazing! If you are looking for a planner AND a DJ look no further! Best in the Bizz !!!!!

Tonya with Weddings of Pittsburgh is an absolute powerhouse! I didn't have to worry about any of the details for my wedding. I shared my ideas with her and she made it a reality and then some! She went above and beyond what I expected to make such a cherished event truly memorable not only for my husband and I, but for our loved ones who were also there to share the specia day with us. Thank you Tonya!

Tanya is extremely professional, very dedicated, reasonably priced, and she really knows the business well! She did a wonderful job helping us to coordinate our wedding making sure that every single detail was addressed. She handled all complications that we had during the wedding behind the scenes and I didn't even know we had any! I would recommend her to everyone!
