"When I was a little girl all I wanted in life was to have a perfect wedding and be a beautiful bride. Somewhere into adulthood, I came to the belief that unless you were Rockefeller rich with all the time in the world, weddings should be looked at as expensive parties with hopefully a few special moments. Thanks to you both - our wedding was a day of pure magic. The type that children get to experience around Christmas-level magic that doesn’t exist in adulthood."

"From our very first meeting, I knew you all were the perfect partners for us. I left our call feeling like you all really grasped my vision, what I cared about and what I didn’t, and that you would be able to steer us in the right direction without getting phased by the complexities of my family dynamic or sometimes eclectic ideas and phrasings. What I didn’t know was how true that would turn out to be."

Incredible Wedding Team

How do I write a 10/5 review? One of our top priorities for our wedding day was finding a planner who was aligned with our vision and personalities. We were so pleased when a family friend recommended Reverie Events and Weddings. After our initial discussion with Jillian and Susie two years ago - we immediately knew they were a match for our wedding. We wanted a team that was responsive, organized and aligned with our personalities. Jillian and Susie went above and beyond to achieving that for us. We utilized them for a month-of coordination and there were so many details Reverie handled that we knew (and didn't know!). Having a planner and team you can trust is incredibly important and I trusted their decisions more than my own in the final few weeks of planning. If you want a team that is organized, caring, positive and well-connected in the wedding industry - Reverie is just that and so much more for you. I'd highly recommend to anyone (close family friend or complete stranger) to use them and their team. I cannot thank them enough for all the great work and amazing experience. We appreciate you more than we can express!!!!

Goodman Wedding review

We used Reverie Events and Weddings to plan our wedding which was held in March 2024. From the initial consultation to the final moments of our wedding day, Jillian and Susie were with us every step of the way. From venue selection to venue coordination, decor design to timeline management, they handled each aspect with precision and care, alleviating a lot of the stress that comes with wedding planning. Thanks to Reverie Events and Weddings, our wedding was everything we expected and more! They executed our plan to have a wedding day that was intimate and filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories that will last a lifetime. We express our heartfelt appreciation to Jillian, Susie and their team for their dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment to turning our dream into reality. Our guests couldn’t stop praising them for their exceptional work. If you’re looking for wedding planners who will surpass your expectations, your search ends here!

Amazing wedding planning experience!

We had the most incredible experience with Reverie Events and Weddings for our wedding on April 6th, 2024! From the moment we started working with Jillian and Susie, their organization, creativity, and knowledge were abundantly clear. They not only listened to our ideas but brought them to life in ways we couldn't have imagined. Planning a wedding out of state could have been daunting, but they made the process seamless, ensuring every detail, from the venue to the vendors, fell into place effortlessly thanks to their expertise and connections. They also brought a level of fun and enthusiasm to the planning process that made it feel like we were collaborating with friends. On the day of our wedding, they orchestrated everything flawlessly, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in our special day.

If you're looking for wedding planners who are delightful to work with, look no further than Reverie Events and Weddings. They truly made our special day unforgettable, and we can't thank them enough! :)

The best!

Reverie is the BEST THERE IS for your big day!
We had a large wedding and Jillian and Susie made the entire process feel seamless. Jillian and Susie will assist or completely take on tasks, allowing for you to focus on all the things you feel are valuable and need more thought, and while not letting any other coordination items sit on the back burner for too long. They have an amazing list of vendor relations they have coordinated with before, and know how to work with efficiently. Even with some of the vendors we had they had not previously worked with, it was like they knew them just as well and knew all the questions to ask and deadlines to ask them to meet. They even made the chaotic morning the day of feel so seamless and allowed for the bride and groom to really enjoy the morning w loved ones, all while staying completely on schedule!
This year we moved out of state, bought a house, changed job settings, on top of planning a wedding, and the way our day ended up coming together would have ABSOLUTELY NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE without Jillian Susie and the entire Reverie team. If we could give 10 stars we would. You NEED them for your day.

Best Wedding Planner!

Hiring Reverie Events and Weddings was the best decision we made for our wedding! Their attention to detail and attentiveness to our wants and needs were perfect. We went back and forth on hiring a wedding planner, and after our wedding we said we couldn't imagine not having them. We hired them for the month of, but they started helping us even before then. They were always quick to answer questions and send inspiration as well. They made the most stressful time leading up to the big day as stress free as could be. They also handled every vendor / minor detail / decor / and timeline on the big day. Jillian and Susie are the sweetest, and I truly can't imagine having them there.

Outstanding Pittsburgh Wedding Planners

If you are looking for a wedding planner in the Pittsburgh area, please look no further than Reverie Events and Weddings! I had the pleasure of working with Jillian and Susie for my November wedding for over a year and it was a fantastic experience. Their professionalism and attention to detail are like no other, and they 1000 percent took the vision that I had for my wedding day design and executed it flawlessly! When my husband and I got our first look of the banquet hall before the guests were seated for the reception, I think I screamed (definitely shed a tear or two)...IT WAS SO STUNNING!!! Prior to the wedding day, I was pregnant with my first child during most of the planning. After I had my daughter, they made sure that I felt as stress-free as possible. It made an enormous difference to have these two on my wedding dream team. I could not have pulled off such a BEAUTIFUL and MEMORABLE wedding day without Jillian and Susie by my side every step of the way. There are so many moving factors that go into planning a wedding, and so many things that I would have missed had I not hired them. Now that our big day is over, I am already missing them (you really can't help but become friends with these two amazing women) and will need to think of the next fun event to plan and work with them again very soon! :)

Best decision ever!

Reverie was the BEST decision we made out of all of the wedding decisions my husband and I chose. I honestly couldn't imagine going through all of this without their help. I had to postpone twice and I wasn't worried about a single thing; they helped every step of the way. I get stressed out very easily (LOL) and having Jillian and Susie to help throughout the whole process really eased my worries. They're professional, organized, creative, kind and just make you feel comfortable with the decisions you are making. The day of had a few hiccups and I literally wouldn't have even known because they handled it all for me; which was super important, I didn't want my mom or I having to deal with anything on the day of. Truly couldn't imagine doing it without Reverie & team. It was the best day ever & I recommend them to everyone getting married. I totally get having specific taste and needing to feel involved in every aspect, but they let that happen with also allowing the couple to feel more relaxed and at ease about it all. Can't thank them enough, it was magical and couldn't have happened without them xoxo

Don’t walk…RUN to hire Jillian and Susie!!

If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator and whether they’re worth it for your big day………trust me when I say they are 110% worth it. I am an extremely type A person and didn’t want to put the stress of helping my wedding go smoothly on family or friends. Jillian and Susie went above and beyond leading up to and on my special day. I had a few hiccups with my venue and one of the vendors and Jillian and Susie helped me navigate through all of it. I highly HIGHLY recommend their services.

Stress Free

Jillian and Susie were fantastic. They both had strong communication skills, were considerate to everyone, and had excellent time management, which as a result, made the entire wedding weekend stress free. This allowed us to be in the moment instead of worrying about tasks. I appreciate that hiring Jillian and Susie made our special day anxiety free, with no uncertainty between vendors, timelines, or guests. If you are looking for a month of coordinator or a complete wedding planner, please consider Reverie Events and Weddings.

Look no further! Jillian and Susie are the best!

Jillian and Susie were fabulous to work with and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for event planning assistance. They went above and beyond my expectations to ensure my wedding day went smoothly. Both Jillian and Susie demonstrated excellent communication skills and attention to detail in the months leading up to my wedding. As a result, I trusted them completely on my wedding day. I knew Jillian and Susie understood exactly what I wanted from each other vendor involved with the wedding, so I was not anxious about anything being done incorrectly. They did not disappoint. Since the wedding, I have received multiple compliments on the seamless transitions between ballrooms and timing of our wedding in general. I give Jillian and Susie full credit for this. If you need a wedding planner, no need to look elsewhere!
