    Travel destination customer

    Finding just the right destination for your destination wedding, event, or special celebration can be so overwhelming and stressful! Kat with Calla Events, Design, & Travel, LLC went above and beyond to help my husband and I plan a trip to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We had a limited budget and many variables to work with. We didn’t make it easy on her but her patience, attention to detail, and tireless efforts to keep searching for just the right trip got us to a trip we can’t wait to enjoy! She replaced our stress with excitement as we went over the options she offered us. No detail was too small for her. She really put together a very personal package “just for us”. We are so grateful for her service and the product she provided.

    I can't even begin to say how truly amazing our wedding day was! I worked with Trends for almost 1.5 years leading up to my wedding. I wouldn't describe myself as a normal bride- I was truly infatuated with the small details- so much that my meetings lasted, on average, 3 hours or longer (& we had a TON of meetings.) I can honestly say that Kat & Team made every single meeting so exciting that I never wanted them to end! Moral of my rant, no matter how long or where you need to meet, they will jump through hoops to make sure you are assisted and happy. 3/4 of our meetings turned into lunch or dinner dates- it's almost like you acquire instant best friends when you sign your contract! You are eventually assigned "your person" and mine luckily was Amanda. She was there to guide me, remind me of payments, offer advice and direction and basically be my #1 sidekick for 6 months. The day of, I had another "person" added and her name was Laura. Laura rocked! Her and Amanda spent the morning driving back and forth between houses making sure the bridesmaids & groomsmen were on time, marriage licenses were obtained, and rings were in place. As my mom and I look back, we can honestly say we can't come up with one thing that we would have changed. The trends team are a great group of gals to work with (and befriend.) Thank you Amanda for making our wedding day truly PERFECT!!!!!!

    The best decision we made was to hire Trends To Traditions! Kat, Amanda and the entire TTT team were absolutely amazing to work with!! I didn't think it was possible to NOT feel stressed while planning a wedding - but it is! Your knowledge and experience was so helpful- and our wedding was beyond our expectations to the very last detail. Because of you and your team, we knew everything was under control, and we could spend quality time with friends and family and not have to worry about anything. Thank you again for helping us to plan our dream wedding!!

    Kat and her team were the absolute best to work with. They were with me at every step of the process and provided excellent guidance on vendor choices and had so many wonderful creative ideas and worked hard to stay within my budget. I actually had guests calling me to get their info to plan their own weddings and parties in Pittsburgh and received numerous compliments that it was one of the best weddings they ever attended. Trends to Traditions went above and beyond and I can't thank them enough for all they did for me and my family. I highly recommend them to anyone who is planning a wedding in the Pittsburgh area.

    Trends to Traditions provided us with first class service. Everyone we worked with was courteous, answered questions promptly and were so helpful in providing information in all areas regarding our daughter's wedding day.

    I do not have any complaints about the wedding day itself. If we had any questions, our wedding planners were very accessable and took care of everything. The whole day, from the ceremony to the reception went beautifully and I have nothing but great memories of the whole process.

    Let me start off by saying that my wedding day was the single greatest day of my life. It was truly a perfect day and it could not have been done without Katherine and her wonderful team!

    She turned Southpointe into the perfect venue for our wedding! Our outdoor cocktail party by the pool was such a hit! The setup and color scheme made our cocktail hour the ultimate experience for our guests.

    Trends to Traditions also designed the ballroom to look stunning. Every detail, from the flowers to the chairs and linens was so well thought out and came together nicely. The ambiance in the room perfectly matched my husband and my personality and really reflected our taste and style as a couple!

    Katherine's wedding specialist, Aubrey, was also such an essential part of the wedding. She made sure that everything went smoothly. Even the weeks leading up to the wedding, Aubrey was my crutch-- when I was worried, needed ideas or answers to our questions, she was there!! Aubrey knew all the minor details and did so much additional work, which allowed me to focus on the major decisions.
    All of the vendors Trends to Traditions recommended fit right into our budget. Kat's honest opinions and wedding knowledge took our wedding from nice to spectacular! It would not have been a tenth as nice if it wasn’t for Kat and her team's design ideas, color schemes, knowledge and day of expertise. Her team helped me so much that I did not have to lift a finger the day of the wedding, which allowed me to focus on my guests and have fun! I was the most relaxed and calm bride because I wasn’t knew Kat and her team had everything taken care of! Choosing Trends to Traditions to plan my wedding was the best decision. If you want to have an unforgettable wedding, hire Trends to Traditions!!

    Hi Katherine and your team!

    I just want you to know that I could not be more happy with how everything turned out! I truly rave about you and your services. I want to also say that you handle brides so well. All the stress and anxiety that goes with hosting the biggest party of your life is overwhelming and I admire your patience with everything. I have recommended you both for weddings and travel planning and will continue to do so! You truly are good at what you do and I feel blessed to have found you when I did in the planning process.

    Thank you more than you know!

    Katy and Katherine were both not only extremely attentive and organized, but they were beyond friendly and caring. I have already recommended them to anyone I know getting married because and can not imagine anyone planning a wedding without their very own Katie! I purchased a package that included 2 planners to be there for my wedding day and to my delightful surprise, there were at least 4 in attendance and even. Katherine the owner came. I can't possibly say enough about Trends to Traditions, in particular Katie and Katherine, they truly have a unique talent and gift!

    Trends to Traditions is the best! From the moment I met Katherine, I immediately had a connection with her and knew she would be an amazing wedding planner. From the beginning...a year before my wedding, Trends to Traditions was there to help me with every detail involved in planning my wedding day! They have tremendous vendor connections and know the ins and outs of the wedding industry, which helped make my wedding day everything I ever dreamed of! The staff at Trends is awesome and professional and are always going the extra mile to help you out. I couldn't have done it without them!!!

    I hired Trends to Traditions for Day of Coordination services. Kat, Jaime, Aubrey, and the other ladies were in making everything go smoothly on my wedding day. It was truly the most incredible day of my life. I had NO stress and had an absolute blast. And I keep telling everyone that the only reason I could enjoy it was because I had help. I love my family and friends dearly, but everyone was busy and no one was really able to commit as much time to help me with the wedding as I needed. The best decision that I made during the whole wedding process was to go ahead with the day of coordination services. I was very reluctant since we already had a great event coordinator at our venue and it seemed like a splurge, but truly, this was the best thing I could have done. I relaxed all day, had my hair and makeup done, looked great, was unfrazzled, handled very little in terms of problems, and was really able to be in a fantastic frame of mind. Trends to Traditions specifically helped with pre-wedding planning (2 meetings regarding this), followed through with my itinerary and all the details, gave checks to the vendors/communicated with the vendors/made sure that they ran on schedule, coordinated our rehearsal, coordinated the ceremony, helped to seat guests, gave me ideas for how to make the ceremony and reception special, gave vendor recommendations, organized and booked our honeymoon (which was amazing!!!!) I recommend them wholeheartedly.

    Trends to Traditions went above and beyond my expectations for my wedding planning needs. I planned by wedding from another state and thought I needed some additional help. I am SO glad I chose Trends to Traditions. Their entire staff (especially Katherine and Katy) made themselves available WHENEVER I needed a question answered or opinion on the planning. TTT gave me endless options for everything-linens, flowers, venues etc. Regardless of how many wedding they were planning that month, they made me feel like I was the only bride they were working with. Their attention to detail is second to none and all of the weddings they do are so personalized and different. This is NOT a cookie cut wedding planning service. So if you are looking to have a one of a kind, knockout wedding,go with TTT. You will not be disappointed. I'm so glad I did. They made my dream wedding come to life!

    We worked with Trends to Traditions for a year while planning our wedding from out of town. From picking out our reception site, to selecting vendors, to sharing ideas about how to make our day extra special, Katherine and her team were extraordinary. We did not have to worry about a thing during our wedding weekend. They contacted all the vendors, made sure no detail was over-looked and helped set-up/tear-down our entire wedding reception. When we walked into our reception, we were blown away. Gorgeous down to every last detail. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the weekend and are still talking about it. We certainly could not have pulled this off without Trends to Traditions!
