We contracted Ashley Kurkiewicz with Hello Productions for the "Final Details & Day-Of Wedding Coordinator" package and it was one of the best choices we made for our 150-guest wedding. Ashley and her team went above and beyond to make sure that everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. We even had guests comment on how amazing they were. Ashley and her team's expertise was so very much appreciated and allowed us to make decisions without thinking twice, knowing that they have our best interests in mind. We would highly recommend their services to anyone. -

Matthew Sent on 11/29/2023Christina Planned Our Dream Wedding!
We worked with Christina McLachlan as our wedding planner, and simply put, she was amazing! Our wedding would not have happened without her. We live on the west coast, but we wanted to get married in Pittsburgh near family. Christina worked with us for about 1.5 years in total, from helping us look at venues at the very beginning, to running the whole show on our wedding day. She was always very accommodating of our time zone difference, willing to FaceTime us after we finished work (her 8pm). Also, she let us ship things to her house so we didn't have to fly everything across the country, which was so thoughtful. She helped us execute our vision for exactly what we wanted and made working with all of our vendors a breeze. Christina helped us throw an amazing wedding while staying within our budget. In the week leading up to our wedding, Christina made sure all vendors were on the same page, everything was ordered and printed, and that we knew the timelines for everything. We were able to fully experience and enjoy our wedding knowing that any problems would be taken care of. And, Christina's work speaks for itself! After our wedding, my newly-engaged cousin immediately asked for Christina's contact information and signed up to have her plan his wedding. We were so fortunate to have found Christina and highly recommend her planning services! -

Maeve Sent on 10/04/202310/10, cannot recommend enough!
I can't say enough good things about Christina with Hello Productions and the Full Wedding Planning Package. From the beginning, she was able to take my abstract ideas and inspiration photos and bring them to life with the most inspiring, on the nose, design deck. She then took everything one step further to bring that design deck to life on my wedding day in a way the exceeded my expectations. On the day of, she made up for all the ways in which my venue was disorganized and everything went perfectly. There was a tornado warning the entire day of my wedding and Christina kept her cool in such a way that I was completely unaware of this until after the fact! Not only was she professional, creative, and organized she was also just amazing to be around. By the end of my wedding day I was so sad it was over, not just because the entire day was perfect but because that meant I wouldn't be talking to her regularly. If you are planning an out of town wedding, have a busy schedule, or just don't have family involvement in wedding planning I HIGHLY recommend Christina and her Hello Productions team. -

My husband and I booked Hello Productions for our September 2023 wedding and could not be happier with our decision. We chose the day of package and had so much support weeks leading up to our wedding. Our coordinator was Shannon Stover and she was THE BEST. Shannon and her team went above and beyond for us. We credit her for making our day as perfect as it was and can not thank them all enough!

David Sent on 06/21/2023Alyson was the best!
We had the pleasure of working with Alyson as our Day-of-Coordinator. She was such a thoughtful and calming person to have in our corner during our wedding. From convincing the bride that she really truly didn't have to worry about doing anything, to going to find pitchers to serve water when my caterers disappeared, I can't say enough good things about working with Alyson. Having her there really let us (and our parents) just focus on having a blast celebrating our wedding. -

Madelon Sent on 06/07/2023The Perfect Day!
If you are looking for Day of Coordination services, look no further. My husband and I had already made all the big decisions for our wedding, but we both knew that we didn't want to be stressed on the day of and truly wanted to experience every moment of our magical day. Our coordinator was Christina Affinito, and she was a dream to work with. She is organized, friendly, timely, brain when you don't have one (Bride brain is a thing!), and will help make your wedding a dream. Leading up to the big day, Christina helped create a perfect timeline of events. This became the foundation of our big day and truly the blueprint to event success. On the big day, Christina and her crew (Maddie and Alexandra) set up the venue perfectly. From the Welcome Sign down to the personalized coasters, everything was perfectly set and waiting for our guests to arrive. All of our guests even complimented how wonderful this team was. At the end of the night, they had everything packaged up and ready to go home. My husband and I didn't stress even a moment. The only thing I wish I could have done differently would be that I didn't get the opportunity to hug Christina, Maddie, and Alexandra. THANK YOU HELLO PRODUCTIONS TEAM, you all helped create the perfect day to start Andrew and I's forever! We are forever grateful for your work and will recommend you to everyone we know! -

Katie Sent on 10/10/2022Stress-free day thanks to Hello Productions
My husband and I hired Hello Productions more specifically Alyson Huth as our day of coordinator for our wedding. Part of our dream was creating a stress-free wedding that was idyllic and magical. We really wanted to enjoy our day without having to answer a million questions. Alyson took all of our stress away so we could enjoy our day with our family and friends which is priceless. Alyson and her assistant did a beautiful job putting all of our decor together to create a dreamy space that all of our guests could enjoy. Her work is impeccable and the wedding was a dream realized. Thank you for all of you hard work! Chris and I are so thankful to you and your team. -

Annie Sent on 07/02/2022Fantastic Support from Hello Productions
I can't thank Allanah and Hello Productions for helping make our wedding the event of a lifetime! She was supportive, handled all "emergencies" before I even had time to be concerned and helped make my vision come to life. She was great with emails and connecting me with the right people. She listened to budget concerns and helped us get our the perfect vendors for us! I would highly recommend Hello Productions and Allanah as your event planner for your big day and am so happy that I had Allanah as a resource for our wedding from start to finish! -

Kate Sent on 06/27/2022The Best Money We Ever Spent
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Hello Productions and especially my coordinator, Alexandra. From the moment I inquired about services until the wedding itself, she and her coworkers were nothing but helpful and supportive. She was beyond organized and on top of handling unexpected changes. Getting a wedding coordinator always seemed like something a little over-the-top for me, but having Alexandra and her team proved to be invaluable not just from a logistical standpoint but also from an emotional one. She was so supportive when I felt mired in details and probably put in more hours than she should've for doing day-of coordination! On top of everything, the fee they charged was incredibly reasonable for all the work that they did. If you're at all on the fence about it, go with Hello Productions, they are the absolute best. Thank you guys again for such a fantastic day! -
![Jennifer]()
Jennifer Sent on 04/14/2022One of the best decisions we made...
The main reason I wanted to work with Hello Productions is because from our very first conversation, Christina made me feel like someone else was just as excited about not only bringing our wedding vision to life but also, and more importantly, our relationship and what got us (me and my now husband) here – and I knew instantly that I wanted her to be part of our wedding day. She got to know us on a personal level during the planning process and it made such a difference in how everything came together.
On our wedding day, both of us, our parents and other family members were able to fully enjoy every moment and not worry about anything – Christina made sure of it. She and Alexandra (who is also amazing!) were totally on top of it. Plus, their existing relationships with our other vendors in the Pittsburgh wedding community added to the day. Everyone was on the same page and it flowed so well. Our wedding felt like a dream and we could not have asked for a better vendor team to make it happen.
Christina & Alexandra went above and beyond to make sure we were happy (and I don’t think we could have been any happier!) leading up to and throughout our entire wedding. Truly, I cannot thank them enough for helping to make our wedding so special and memorable. -

Richard Sent on 10/11/2021Christina and co are the best!
Christina was our day-of wedding coordinator and she did an absolutely fantastic job! We communicated with her via email and phone in the months leading up to the wedding, and she was extremely professional and provided helpful advice in many instances. She and the Hello Productions team took care of all the details (venue set up, coordinating the night with all the vendors, personally packing up and bringing items to our hotel towards the end of the night, etc.) during our wedding day and helped execute and cater to our vision. Christina did an amazing job and we were so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with her on our special day! -
![Kristyn]()
Kristyn Sent on 08/03/2021Allanah was amazing!!
We cannot thank Allanah and her team at Hello Productions enough for making sure our wedding day was perfect. We hired her less than 3 weeks before our wedding when our venue coordinator unexpectedly resigned. She truly saved the day and relieved us of all our stress! We were all smiles the entire reception knowing that we were in good hands and didn't have a thing to worry about.
I sent her pictures of our "vision" before the wedding, and my jaw dropped when we walked into the reception because she nailed every. single. detail. Allanah went above and beyond for us, between offering to drive our decorations to the venue the week of the wedding, bringing us glasses of water on the dance floor throughout the night, and sending my bridal bouquet to the preservation company for me after the wedding so we could jet off to our honeymoon! She also made sure our decorations were packed nicely at the end of the night to allow for an easy pickup the next day when we were exhausted. (And so much more!)
I never thought a day-of coordinator would be needed since I'm pretty organized, but our only regret is that we wished we had hired her earlier into the wedding planning process! She is truly a gem and will make sure your day is incredible. -

Abbey Sent on 07/05/2021AMAZING services.
Natasha Learn was our planner for the last 2+ years and I am BEYOND grateful for her and her services. She quickly became a part of my family and she was insanely knowledgeable and helpful during the entire process. She was available to me throughout this time and made everything so fun and easy. She was compassionate and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our wedding day. We had waited a very long time for this and Natasha made sure that everything was absolutely perfect. I will be forever grateful for her and I now consider her a wonderful friend. -

Rachel Sent on 07/25/2019Best decision we made!
If you are stressed about planning, I highly recommend Hello Productions!
I chose the the Beginning to End Planning Package and worked with Natasha. It was WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!
My wedding was at Phipps Conservatory and we live in Florida, so everything we were doing was from long distance. Natasha was extremely organized and provided me with a detailed budget tracker, multiple timelines, vendor spreadsheets, and monthly/weekly to-do lists. She created multiple vendor searches and provided me with options and contacts for every single detail. She created a personalized mood board and helped me find favors, decorations, a website, invitations, save-the-dates so that everything was on theme! She helped me set up vendor appointments and accompanied me on conference calls and meetings when needed.
During the wedding, her and her team were so helpful! They set up everything, printed and delivered all of my signs, coordinated all contact with vendors. She was cool, calm, and collected and made me feel relaxed and taken care of! I was able to enjoy the day and not worry about anything! After the wedding, I was able to leave and enjoy the rest of the night, her team handled clean-up and delivery to my hotel!
Natasha was so easy to work with, responsible, organized, extremely professional, and an absolute joy! During vendor meetings she had lists of questions and made sure everything was correct and what I wanted! She answered every email, text, and phone call in a timely manner.
I highly highly recommend Hello Productions and you will not be disappointed! I do not have one single complaint! -

Sarah Sent on 01/31/2019Natasha Learn kept me sane and organized
I am so, so glad that we hired Natasha Learn for our wedding. We had actually already had a venue coordinator that came with our reception venue, but since the wedding and reception were in two locations, I wanted to hire one person to act as the go-to. So I hired her as a day-of coordinator and she was worth her weight in gold. I had many guests say that it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended, and I give a lot of that credit to Nathasha’s work on coordinating a seamless night.
Even though she was a day-of coordinator, she started doing a lot of scheduling, phone and email correspondence, and checking details with me about a month prior to the day. It was so nice to be able to hand over my 2+ years of planning to her and trust her to execute it. And she did so perfectly. She was very organized and helped me stay sane, and she always took every challenge I threw her way with a huge smile and enthusiasm.
I had a lot of moving parts during my wedding. There was a church that wasn’t exactly easy to work with, a large bridal party, two bands, and 14 vendors in total. Almost every vendor was independent, so I didn’t make it easy on her.
I think the best possible thing I could say about Natasha’s work was that on the day of the wedding, my husband and I had an amazing time and even if there was chaos in the background (still to this day not sure if there was) we never saw or felt it. Thank you Natasha for your hard work and professionalism - you helped create an event that I and many others will never forget!

Sinthana Sent on 11/18/2018Couldn't have had our dream wedding without Natasha!
We don't have enough words to describe how wonderful it was to work with Natasha the 8 months leading up to our wedding weekend. We had two weddings on two separate days (Hindu and Christian), and with Natasha by our side, it felt seamless. Family and friends were amazed and impressed that this Hindu wedding was her first to plan! She was a calm force throughout the weekend, and her presence just made us feel like we were always in control. Everything from both days felt like true representation of who my husband and I are. We still get compliments of how beautiful the weekend was, and we owe it all to Natasha and her team! -

Jill Sent on 12/27/2017We worked with Ashley for our wedding . It was such a great experience having her as part of our team as the day of coordinator. I felt like she was much more than that. She really took a lot of stress and responsibility off my shoulders after she joined the team. We were budget-conscious, and I can say that the money we spent for her services, we got the most value out of. Our reception flowed beautifully. She knew exactly what elements were critical for the reception and made planning it very easy. I'm very detailed oriented and organized, so finding someone who is even more like this than me was a breath of fresh air. She paid attention to every minute detail and scheduled everything down to the minute. The evening of the reception flowed incredibly, and I didn't have to worry about anything. She made it so much fun for me. I would strongly recommend her and the Hello team to anyone who is getting married. -

Danielle Sent on 06/12/2017Natasha is an actual angel. I hired her to act as my day-of-coordinator for my May 27th wedding, and she was the best financial investment I made in my wedding day. As far as I know, the day went 100% as planned, even though I'm sure that's not true. Natasha and her team made sure everything went smoothly and that I was kept from any external stress on the day. She also helped my husband and I wrangle our crazy family for a rehearsal, which is a feat in itself. She was also great about keeping in contact with me via-email, which was my preference since I was planning my wedding while working a full-time office job. Everything about this process with her was EASY. Super-duper-easy. I would recommend her services to anyone looking to enjoy their wedding day...she is a MUST HIRE!!! -

User4594379 Sent on 08/15/2014our planner, Natasha, was able to keep our event on track, even when we lost our venue 5 weeks before the date. Her knowledge and expertise in all areas ( catering, lights, parking, venue, music and theme) made our day a 10. She is poised, relaxed and so professional, while being her own warm sweet caring self. The best planner I've ever met.

J Sent on 06/06/2013We used Hello Productions to plan our wedding at J Verno Studios on June 1, 2013. Ashley Moss was wonderful. We met for coffee about a year before the wedding to go over my vision for the big day. Ashley was very knowledgeable about all aspects of wedding planning from logistics to décor. She listened to my ideas and developed them into a reality. We were in constant contact from day one and Ashley was always available and quick to respond to my questions or concerns. She was flexible with meeting with me and vendors around my schedule which was very hectic from working two jobs and going to school. The vendors that Ashley works with are awesome as well, especially the florist, Dee’s Florals. I showed them a photo from Pinterest and they recreated it and actually made it look even better! Ashley walked us through the timeline of events during our rehearsal, and even though it was a bit overwhelming, I felt confident that things would go smoothly because of our wedding planner. The wedding day went off without a hitch, it was absolutely perfect. I was blown away with what Ashley & her team did with our ceremony & reception space. I was not stressed at all, the day of the wedding all I had to do was show up & have fun! I highly recommend Hello Productions for your wedding or special event, you will not be disappointed. Thank you again, Ashley, for an amazing wedding day! -

Kelsey Sent on 01/09/2013Being a wedding and event planner myself, my friends were surprised to hear I hired an event planner for my own wedding. But I wouldn’t have been without one! Every weekend, I see firsthand all the work that happens behind the scenes to make an event successful and knew that I didn’t want to be without someone who I could completely trust and who would coordinate the day-of details and handle any last minute emergencies. As an event planner, I also have high expectations of how an event should be and the ONLY planners I would use are those at Hello Productions. Not only did Ashley coordinate day-of details, she was there in each step of the planning, helping me think of things I would never have thought of myself. I recommend Ashley and Hello Productions. I can’t wait to have another event to plan so I can work with Ashley again!
