Our Wedding

Our Story

Our Adventures

Ultimate dog mom to Dale the Doodle and the sweetest sister-in-law around. The only thing Sara loves more than Ryan and Dale? Jon Bon Jovi. So if you want to be her friend (and trust me, you do), make your way to the DJ station and request some Bon Jovi. And lots of it! 

Sara Slack

Often said to be "the better Stefanick", though he does pronounce his last name differently than the rest of the family. Armenian nationalist turned [likely] CIA operative. What he lacks in chess and soccer playing ability, he makes up for in engagement photography.

John Stefanick

Wedding Party

Q + A

We chose not to have a hotel block because there was no one place that we felt fit the majority of our guests' needs and budgets. Here are our top five recommendations:

The ultimate convenience. The reception venue has all 13 tasteful rooms on site set aside for our group (but we have no obligation to fill them) You can roll right into bed after dancing the night away and make the groom green with envy.

The Mansions On Fifth Luxury Hotel

A very hip hotel in the heart of Oakland next to the Cathedral of Learning which may even be lit with the Victory Lights. The bride ponied up the Marriott points for her and the groom to stay there on Sunday night after the wedding. Word is that the after party may be at the hotel rooftop bar Spirits and Tales, or at least somewhere in Oakland.

"The Hyatt House is convenient and the top hotel value in the east end of Pittsburgh" - the Groom, Hyatt Globalist

Hyatt House Pittsburgh/Bloomfield/Shadyside

This is right on Courtney's old block, and we have had family in town stay here before. It is a solid choice for larger groups traveling together. Court's favorite feature? It's walking distance from Aldi.

Friendship Suites

I'm not going to explain to you how Airbnb works.

Travel

The famous Millvale Murals of Maxo Vanka and coined the "Death Murals" by our favorite bride. Our favorite groom, on the other hand, is proudly the Docent Manager of the Murals--and if you're going to our Mass of Holy Matrimony (the ceremony), then you'll be there.

St. Nicholas Croatian Catholic Church

Fun Millvale brewery where lots of people bring their pups. Need we say more?

Grist House Craft Brewery

Do you enjoy long walks on the beach? What about long walks dahn the Allegheny? Do you enjoy watching the sunset from Warshington's Landing, indulging in a fine Iron City and enjoying candlelit conversations abaht them Stillers? If so, check out the Millvale Riverfront Park. While the only thing we can promise about the experience is that you will, in fact, get to take a stroll dahn the Allegheny, it is a great park with nice walking trails and some lovely riverfront views.

Millvale Riverfront Park

Check out the Nationality Rooms for a trip around the globe, all within the heart of Oakland. Pro tip: call it "Cathy" if you want to sound like a Pitt Panther (the highest of compliments).

Cathedral of Learning

In honor of the crazy plant lady/bride, go check out this beautiful conservatory in Oakland!

Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens

The reigning ACC football champs will be in action this fine autumn weekend.

Pitt vs. Georgia Tech

Fancy shmancy with lots of famous arteests.

Carnegie Museum of Art

Carnegie Museum of Natural History

A University of Pittsburgh classic. Order a Shot Pitcher (with extra gummy worms if you want the Courtney Special) - trust us on this one. Their food is also delicious. Bonus points if you can find Courtney's brother, Ryan, on the Wall of Fame! Sadly, due to the pandemic, Hems is now closed on Sundays, so if you're looking for a Saturday night spot, this is it!

Hemingway's Cafe

Neature/where Courtney goes when she wants to pretend she's outdoorsy.

Schenley Park

Break out your hoop skirts and top hats, because this beautiful walled garden park in Shadyside will transport you in time and across the pond to a historic English countryside estate. A lovely place for a stroll.
