Their space is beautiful, the way they coordinate is amazing, and I didn't regret any component of the full weekend package we paid for. Every one of their amenities, the decoration shed, etc was so convenient. I truly wouldn't consider going anywhere else if I could do it over.

All aboard! Next stop....Bloom Brigade, your one-stop-shop for everything floral…read more Bloom Brigade is so much more than your typical florist. They create floral designs for everything from weddings to birthdays to anniversaries to anything you can dream up (big, small, or everyday). They don't have typical business hours, but you can contact them at any time to set up a consultation. I reached out to Bloom Brigade originally for my wedding flowers and they were super helpful in finding a time that worked well for both of us. After meeting with several florists, my fiance and I felt that Bloom Brigade was the right choice for us -- with Carolyn (aka Clang) getting to the details about our event and Suzan imagining the big picture. Closer to my wedding I met with Clang and Suzan again to finalize our flowers -- we were focused on local, in-season, and in our color palette with lots of inspiration of wildflowers. What Bloom Brigade put together for our day of was above and beyond what we could have imagined. Not only did they create an arbor for our outside ceremony, but they also meticulously created beautiful box center pieces, decorated our venue's mantle (The Mayernik Center), the naked coffee cake, and put other finishing touches throughout the venue as needed. I fully recommend Bloom Brigade and encourage you to reach out to them for your next occasion, event, or even every day flowers!

Each moment of our wedding was captured with us hardly noticing she was there. She did a great job guiding us through our posed photos and was patient while we tried to corral our various family members together for group shots. Dena's candid photo work is outstanding! I LOVE the photos she took during the speeches, the reactions on everyones faces are priceless. We now have wonderful momentos from our wedding that we can cherish for the rest of our lives! Dena also loves to surprise her clients with gifts! From the lunch she treated us to at our first meeting through the pre-wedding guides and the post wedding ornaments she clearly has fun with her work and enjoys spoiling her clients. Thank you Dena, we love you!

Dena was absolutely everything we could have ever hoped for. From the very beginning, she listened…read moreto what we wanted. Our wedding was in the Pittsburgh area, but we live about 90 minutes away. Without hesitation, Dena offered to drive to us for our engagement session. She even drove up to the park earlier in the week to scout good photo locations. On top of all of this, we planned for part of our engagement shoot to be somewhat silly- wearing taco shirts and eating tacos as if on a picnic. Dena checked in several times to make sure we had all thing thins we needed: blanket, picnic basket, and even plastic bags to put under the blanket since it was wet out. Dena was very easy going and easy to work with. Our personalities just meshed. I wasn't always the quickest at emails (sorry Dena if you're reading this!), but she always followed up to make sure everything was in order. I always felt at ease when communicating with her which made me sure I'd be okay with having her around on our big day. On the day of the wedding, she arrived early and started taking pictures before I even knew she was there. We didn't have a long list of "must have" photos, but Dena made sure we got them all. I can't tell you how many of our guests said that it felt like our photographer was everywhere, and we were at a sprawling outside venue. But even so, if something was happening, Dena got a picture of it. Our photos clearly show that. The end results basically speak for themselves. We have over a thousand photos that capture our day better than we could ever imagine. We also have a handful of small gifts from Dena that she sent along the way. I think the biggest praise comes from my now husband who famously didn't have an opinion on anything wedding. As I told him I was writing this he said, "Dena was my favorite vendor."

It is by reservation only, which is done online and you pay online ahead of time as well, which makes for enjoyable experience the day of, not worrying about the check, tip, etc. You get unlimited tea, and there are hot and iced varieties. I started with the mango passion fruit green tea and then finished the experience with the iced raspberry hibiscus -- you can switch it up as much as you want. The savories consisted of a red pepper quiche, spinach artichoke cups, cucumber Boursin sandwiches and almond chicken salad croissants. The standard tea includes one scone per person and I highly recommend ordering extra -- they're phenomenal and are served with strawberry jam and clotted cream. Our desserts were a raspberry lemon pound cake, chocolate and vanilla macarons and a vanilla custard in a pie crust cup with a fresh raspberry on top. Everything was amazing and they rotate menus seasonally. Children are permitted but it's the same menu and price for them, just FYI. I'll definitely return and recommend to others for special occasions or no occasion at all.

The building is well kept, the staff are kind, and the food is absolutely delicious. If you plan to dine here, be sure to make a reservation on their website! When you are seated, you get to choose from a list of hot, cold, caffeinated and non-caffeinated tea. Your waitress will bring your table milk, sugar, and your own little tea pot with hot water that is the perfect size for two cups of tea. The set menu includes savory and sweet items. The first course items on the bottom plate are a cucumber sandwich, quiche, pesto artichoke pastry, and a chicken salad croissant with an almond crust. The middle layer is a plain scone which is paired with strawberry jam and a whipped cream. The top plate holds the dessert portion. This included a sweet pastry, chocolate mousse cup, and orange cranberry bread. The bread flavor changes throughout the year. The Johnston House also hosts events like bridal showers and baby showers. This is a venue where alcohol is not permitted, so it is perfect for a relaxed, intimate event. I can not wait to be back for my sisters baby shower in a couple months!
