Livin' The Pie Life

These pies were AMAZING. They held up well and were well worth their price. I would highly recommend the Salted Caramel Chess Pie. I had people begging for extra slices!

After reaching out to several local bakeries to inquire about wedding cakes, finding Livin the Pie Life was a gift from the wedding planning gods. I tired very quickly of sampling sessions with cover fees, the extensive questionnaires about my color schemes, and price minimums ($800+) of local bakeries for a wedding cake. And, let’s be honest, pies are better anyways. You get more flavors, meaning that there is literally something for everyone!

I took my parents to Livin the Pie Life one day with the intent of buying some slices for us to sample. We met one of the owners, Heather, and told her that we were interested in buying slices to sample options for my wedding. To our surprise, we emerged not with slices but ENTIRE PIES. She gave us 3 (!) to sample for our wedding. After a couple of bites of each, we were all sold on the necessity of having Heather’s pies at our wedding.

The rest of the process was super smooth sailing. Heather recommended 10 pies for our ~70 guests, but we went with 11 pies to have a bit of wiggle room. (And in case the cousins really loved the pies…which they did! It wasn’t all bad to have some pie leftover for post-wedding consumption either.) We paid the deposit and pie price in full, including a very reasonable delivery fee to our local wedding venue. Heather subsequently coordinated with our venue directly, removing us from the picture, but ensuring that our pies were baked and delivered on time.

We chose 3 fall(-ish) flavors: caramel apple crumb, pumpkin praline, and s’mores. We added one s’mores pie as gluten free to accommodate several guests. All of the pies were AMAZING, and our guests LOVED sampling them. We had the easiest time working with Heather and the best wedding desserts in the greater DMV. Can’t wait to head back for more pies soon!

Instead of a wedding cake, we opted for wedding pies, ordering 20 large pies from Living' the Pie Life for our 140+ guests in 4 fall flavors (mile high chocolate, triple berry crumb, pumpkin, apple). During the tasting, Heather gave us 3 WHOLE pies to bring home for us to taste and they were absolutely the best pies we've ever had.

Heather and her team were responsive, professional, and great to work with, answered all questions we had, and made delivery to our venue seamless. Our guests raved about the pies most of all, and we were so happy to have our favorite dessert to cut into at our wedding.
