My husband and I had a tight budget when we were planning our wedding last year. I found Vivid…read morePhotography through TheKnot.com and the price was within our range. I e-mailed Allison, the owner, and she got back to me right away. She met with me, my then fiance, and his mother to discuss the details and found out more about us. I really liked that she brought another photographer, Melynda, to our ceremony and reception. It allowed for more unique angles and helped bring our photos to life with more candid shots during the posed ones. The team was very professional and very open to ideas, even on our wedding day. Allison and Melynda made us feel very comfortable and captured so many beautiful shots of us and our families. Our reception was at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium- I was nervous that the lighting might be difficult to work with, but Allison pulled it off so well. Everyone is absolutely so impressed with out photos and I love showing them to off. We are planning on booking Allison for a photo session on our one-year anniversary in Highland Park near the Zoo. She said she would love to do so, and we can't wait to work with her again.

She is easy to work with, professional, detail-oriented, and accommodating. I am a perfectionist and was planning my wedding from across the country. I did a lot of research and reference-checking and feel that we REALLY lucked out with Alaina. All of her recommendations were on-point and the vendors we hired did an impeccable job and provided excellent customer service to ensure the day went as planned. She made the entire planning process easy and stress-free. Her work and level of service speaks for itself.

Shayne was attentive, detail-oriented, and gave us vendors tailored to our style for every phase of the event. She has worked with many different florists, photographers, and other wedding vendors in Pittsburgh so she knew exactly who to recommend. She also had many stylistic additions to enhance the overall beauty and style of our event, some of which she provided for free or at low cost.

But All if the 70 guests had a blast at this casino bday party. The coordinator michelle was divine to work with. 2 of the workers were insanely professional (Shawn and Sandra) where they dealt the whole time and didn't break to eat. They came already dressed. Wish i could say the same for Brian and Jim (the other two dealers) who helped themselves to food a half hour BEFORE starting. Then during party. And at end of party. Didn't ask. Simply said "you have enough food so I'm going to eat" then smiled and proceeded....both of them changed at my house when they got there, and Jim actually changed up in my bedroom. Yuck. Jim then proceeded to grab another plate as the night progressed and the finale was when he asked to take home a few pieces of cake. Class act right there. But i would later find out that Jim was quite well known which was probably the cause for his pompous behavior. *He had been on the news for 2 months straight. There was a story in the news where a man ejaculated in line for the log jammer ride, at kennywood theme park, midday, in public, ON A 13 yr OLD GIRLS LEG!! A manhunt was on for 39 yr old mr James wright, until they matched his dna from his sperm ,that was on a 13 yr old girls sock at kennywood....and for two months he eluded police. Since October, his case sits in sex offender court until they have the time to hear his case. Until then, he walks a free man. a free man at my house. A free man at your house?? Unbeknownst to me that a pedophile would be dealing cards as he watched and probably took photos of the 15 kids running around....to add to the already found photos on His phone from kennywood Over the summer of 8-13 yr old girls!! Thankfully, after my call that night to alert michelle (who claimed to have no clue), she stated they would place him on leave until the case is resolved. Something that Shouldve happened back in October when he was caught and released on non monetary bail. Ugh. I'm praying that this establishment truly DID let him go so he's not an endangerment to other young girls. Scary crap. They do fingerprint at this establishment but he was hired years prior so it was missed is what she told me.

Hiring Sheila Weiner and The Event Group for our daughter's wedding was the best decision that we…read moremade. Sheila took our daughter's ideas--offered only in the broadest strokes -- and somehow understood her vision completely. What she created was a wedding day more beautiful, more thoughtful, and more "our daughter" than we ever could have imagined. Shelia's communication was always timely, her vendor team exceptional, and she anticipated needs before we even knew they existed. I slept peacefully throughout the entire planning process because Shelia handled everything with grace, confidence, and expertise. Her calm presence made every step feel manageable and even enjoyable. She is a true five-star professional -- and an absolute pleasure to work with. I could not recommend her more highly.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the arrangements I have received and about the service from the staff! You know that sometimes ordering flowers from a florist that you have never done business with before and are not sure of the quality of their work can be daunting. Berries and Birch really took that apprehension away for my mom and she told me that each of her experiences working with the staff have been great. I'll have to add a photo of my most recent arrangement received from mom. It really was beautiful and lasted about 3 weeks (I'm terrible about caring for floral arrangements). I highly recommend Berries and Birch for any of your floral needs!

One delivery was a stunning long stem rose bouquet. My husband told them that I liked purple, so along with the beautiful roses and baby's breath were some purple accents and a gorgeous purple bow. The roses smelled fantastic and lasted well over a week. The second were flower bouquets that I received after a performance. Those bouquets were full of color and seasonal accents and lasted almost two weeks. A visit to the shop is also a delight. There is a great variety of gifts and floral items in a range of prices. If you are looking to send someone flowers or are searching for a unique gift, I recommend a call or visit to Buttercup.
