    October Wedding

    Missy and Thom were the best money I spent throughout the entire wedding process. From the very first meeting, Missy was professional, organized, and creative. She put me completely at ease and made the planning process enjoyable rather than stressful. I literally had ZERO stress because she had my full confidence. On the day of the wedding, Missy made my vision come to life and was able to guide me in pulling everything together. When there was a hiccup with the venue on the day of the wedding, Missy took charge and made things right. I was able to enjoy my day getting ready with out having to know about a single headache or problem.

    Amazing, Wonderful, Detailed

    Missy is absolutely amazing and a life saver and that is putting it mildly at best! I don't know what we would have done without her she made planning our wedding so much easier and as stress free as possible. Even when we lost our florist a couple weeks before our wedding she saved the day finding a new one at the last minute for us and coordinated everything. Day of the wedding was more than we could have hoped for setting everything up, making sure everyone was where they were supposed to be, taking care of even the smallest detail, and kept us relaxed multiple times. There are not enough words to express our gratitude to you guys. Everything was absolutely perfect! Thank you over and over!!

    Extraordinary Planning and Coordinator Services

    11/5/21 was the day I married my best friend and had the wedding of my dreams! Thanks to Missy! I was lucky enough to receive her planning, decor, and day of services as a gift. She took the elements I envisioned and created an outline that turned into a true work of art. I cannot say which I loved more: her personality, her attention to detail, or her ability to keep me calm! When speaking with Missy, I felt like we were fast friends. She knew how to pull together Pinterest ideas and make them come to fruition, with a twist that spoke of who we are as a couple. Not one detail was missed, incorrect, or out of place. I especially enjoyed her day of timeline that the bridal party received. Anytime I felt unsettled about an idea, Missy made herself available to talk things through. Her knowledge, extensive collection of items, and ability to create and envision helped to take away my anxieties and settle my nerves.
    The day of the wedding, Missy and her assistant Thom were an incredible duo. They planned and decorated to perfection; then they kept things running smoothly until the end when they stayed to clean up! What an amazing service to offer! Thom was exactly who I needed before the ceremony and while taking photos. He’s hilarious, efficient, and knew my every request before I could even say it.
    Missy’s flawless work from creation to execution meant smooth sailing on our wedding day. I could not recommend her services more! You won’t regret working with her and Thom! We loved them!

    Pure talent who makes sure every event is perfect!

    Missy Martz is not only the best wedding planner, she is also my friend, a confidant, a mentor and a genuinely good person. I have seen Missy’s work first hand from helping her set up events over the years. From making sure every single detail is perfect to plating thousands of cookies to keeping every other vendor on track, Missy truly does it all. In the end Missy makes sure that every client gets the event that they’ve always dreamed of. My bridal shower and my wedding were both so incredible with the help of Missy’s pure talent.
    My wedding truly wouldn't have happened without Missy. She was my first call and helped me choose the most perfect wedding venue, helped me plan every detail of my event, set up on my wedding day and stayed to celebrate as my guest! I have always held such high respect for Missy and appreciate everything she has always done for me. Anyone who has ever worked with Missy or had her help with planning an event will know how truly talented and passionate she is. I will always support Occasion Creations and will assure anyone that you can trust them with your most important events.

    Everything I needed

    Missy was exactly what I was looking for in a day of coordinator. She made our reception come to life with her custom creations and designs. I highly recommend her for custom invites as well. She took all the day of stress off of me and was a friendly, pleasure to work with through the entire planning process.

    1,000 stars!

    Missy was a dream come true during the last month prior to my wedding. She eased so much stress I felt in finishing important details for the reception. She created table numbers, escort cards, menu cards and various signs that captured the elegance my husband and I desired. Her products fit in perfectly with the rest of decor we had chosen for the room. Missy was sweet and truly cared that I was getting what I desired. My wedding would not have been as amazing if it were not for her and her team setting up an amazing cookie table that received over 50,000 views on Pittsburgh Beautiful's Facebook page. All items she setup were thoughtfully placed and granted a magical feel.

    Occasion Creation is the BEST!

    We came to Missy for help with our invitation and place card setting designs. We live out of town so we had to communicate mostly thru email. Missy was amazing to work with and provided us with high quality and beautiful invitations and escort cards. She made the process so easy, & answered any questions in a timely manner. I would recommend Occasion Creations to any bride in need of stationary products & wedding design!

    Wonderful to work with!

    Missy was the absolute best to work with. I went to her for help with wedding event design and invitations. I LOVED my wedding invitations and received so many compliments from my guests. Missy pulled the theme/colors from my invite into the event signs and overall design. Everything was perfect the day of my event--she made my vision of my wedding day a reality. She kept me on track with timelines. She made the entire process much less stressful. Easy to work with. Her attention to detail is on point. One of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding was hiring Missy and Occasions Creation!

    Excellent service and product

    Missy was fantastic to work with! I've hired her on two separate occasions:
    1. Bridal Shower - Missy hit the ball out of the park with this! I am not a "girly girl" and was having a difficult time transforming a somewhat industrial looking restaurant into a bridal shower space. I had a general idea of what I wanted but she was great with helping me turn that idea into a reality. She helped me with space layout, seating, colors, linens, decorations, games, signage, etc... She brought just the right amount of femininity to the industrial space and it was GORGEOUS! She and her team set everything up and broke everything down at the end of the party; I didn't realize it beforehand but that was a HUGE help!

    2. Wedding signage - Missy helped us create a lot of signage for our wedding; she listened to what our vision was then created all of our proofs. Her layouts were creative, the color scheme, images and font all blended with the feel of our venue/wedding and her turnaround time was faster than expected. We did have a few changes to some of the signs (we had a ton of signs/posters/cards/etc.) and were so thankful that she's a great listener; we explained the changes and she implemented them - done!

    I would absolutely recommend Missy and am positive we'll be working together again soon!

    Mother of the bride

    Missy was very friendly, personable, and professional. She was responsive and flexible to my requests for creating and and designing wedding invitations that matched my daughter’s unique personal taste. I would recommend Creation Occasion to anyone looking for professional looking and eye catching invitations.

    Amazing, Stunning, and Beautiful!

    Missy was the absolute best! Her invitations set the entire tone for my wedding.They were stunning and beautiful. I had a destination wedding and Missy was able to help me get everything I wanted while still making it easy for me to travel with. She helped me with my welcome packages for my guests, which were also unbelievably beautiful. Her thought and attention to detail are immeasurable.

    I met Missy through one of my best friends (she was the wedding coordinator for her big day). Words cannot describe how beautiful her work is. I recommend her to everyone I know. If you are looking, look no further than Occasion Creations! Oh and did I forget to mention how amazing the prices were for the quality!!!!

    Thank you Missy for making my wedding day so memorable!

    LOVED my wedding invitations!! They were absolutely beautiful. My colors were navy and blush. The invites were navy background with floral design with shades of pink and the envelopes were shimmery blush. Missy also did the signs for my wedding and name cards that went along with the theme of the invites which added a touch of extra color to the venue. She was so easy to work with and exceeded my expectations. Her personality was great to work with. She really helped me in choosing a font and word choices. I would absolutely recommend Missy.

    I used Melissa's services for my daughter's wedding and was very pleased with the results. The invitations were beautiful and designed with a personal touch. A couple of my friends said they were the most beautiful invites they had ever received. She also designed a candy table for the guest favors. She was on vacation the day of set up but took 3 pictures and step by step instructions of how to set it up and it turned out perfect. She has an awesome personality, bubbly and energetic and seemed genuinely as excited as we were to plan the event. I would love to use her for my 2nd daughter's wedding!

    Other than the groom, I think the best wedding decision I made was hiring Missy and Occasions Creations. She designed our invitations and all signage, the event design and the cookie table for our wedding. Planning a Pittsburgh wedding from Philadelphia, I was very nervous feeling stressed or overwhelmed. But Missy made it so much fun and stress free. She designed the most beautiful invitations, which guests could not stop raving about. And made my vision of the look of the wedding a reality. Her prices are more than fair and she was worth every penny for the stress that she saved me on my wedding day. I was able to really enjoy everything without worrying. I can't recommend her enough (and do to any friend getting married in Pittsburgh). Thank you so much Missy!

    Missy was awesome. During the process we had email issues due to the server and missy stayed on top of things to make sure we were receiving emails. The work she did for us was amazingly beautiful. We could not have been more pleased. She nailed exactly what we wanted. Everything matched beautifully from our ceremony programs to signs and seating chart. She is a true professional and is really great to work with. I would recommend her to family and friends. She made our special day more beautiful with her touches.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Missy, and about her company Occasion Creation. This woman does BEAUTIFUL work and an incredibly reasonable cost. Missy did the signage for our wedding, as well as our full size table chart. I was blown away! Not only is her work beautiful, but she was so fun to work with. Being a very Type-A bride, she was there for every nit-picky email and text message with reaffirming words and positive vibes. I 100% recommend Occasion Creation for your wedding needs.

    Thank you so much for your very kind words! Hearing feedback like this makes my day. I love what I do and hearing that my customers love what I do for them is so rewarding- thank you very much <3 Missy Martz, Occasion Creation

    Missy created beautiful escort cards, signs and table number cards for our wedding. The services that she provided were included in our wedding package from the Doubletree Hotel. She responded quickly to emails and was very easy to get a hold of with questions. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for great products to complete their event.

    My husband asked me who my favorite "vendor" from our wedding was and I responded with Missy. I had a vision of what I wanted my save-the-dates, invitations, and other paper goods to look like and she was able to bring it life (what was created was even better than what I had envisioned). She was extremely helpful, prompt, and gave great suggestions. All of her products were of the highest quality and far exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful for all of the time and energy that she dedicated to us. 5 Stars to Missy!

    Occasion Creation was amazing! She was easy to work with and gave the best wedding advice. She was so friendly and professional the entire planning process. She did our invitations, table cards, place cards, signs, and decor for our head table/cookie table. She made our wedding so special honestly! The little touches she added to everything made it beyond beautiful! I recommend Missy to anyone planning a wedding or special event!

    Occasion Creation was one of the best, if not, THE best decision I made for my wedding! I needed someone to do all of the setup and cleanup the day of my wedding at the Westin Convention Center. I was referred to Missy and she was the answer to my prayers! I was so overly impressed with Missy after our first phone call and then our first meeting, she lifted such a huge weight off of my shoulders. She went on to design the most beautiful wedding invitations that exceeded my expectations from inspiration I gathered on Pinterest. She also made all the matching paper products for the ceremony and reception. She used all my decorations and incorporated them so perfectly throughout the space. She went so far above and beyond that she actually walked my ceremony flowers back to the reception since all the roads were closed in Pittsburgh for Pride. She also saved the day by finding and making the arrangements for a chair cover vendor for me when the one I had expected to use was unavailable. I sobbed when I got to see the ballroom for a sneak peak. She is the reason my wedding vision became the wedding of my dreams. Until you experience working with her, you won't understand how impressive she truly is!

    Your review just made my day!!! A satisfied client is everything to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind words and for sharing your experience with future Occasion Creation clients. THANK YOU <3, Missy

    We used Missy and Occasion Creation for our wedding invitations, and EVERYTHING that went into creating our amazing wedding day-- decor, lighting, centerpieces, and much more, including setting up AND tearing down all in the same day!

    When we first met with Missy we had an idea of what we wanted for our invitations, but were a little scatter brained as to exactly what style we wanted to go with. Missy was unbelievably patient with us and helped out figure out exactly what we wanted by asking questions and showing us plenty of examples. After numerous e-mails with Missy of her sending us our proofs and making sure everything was just right, we received our invitations and we so happy with the way they turned out! They completely set the scene for our rustic/vintage wedding!

    We also used Occasion Creation for the planning of our special day. Again, Missy was incredibly patient and helped us bring our dream to a reality. Her studio is amazing and she can show you examples of pretty much anything that you could ever want for your wedding! Not only was she busy putting together some of our centerpieces, lighting, and other special details, she was also checking in with all of our other vendors to make sure everyone knew exactly where they had to be and when. Coming into our reception and seeing all of our loved ones around such a BEAUTIFUL space was absolutely breathtaking, all thanks to Missy! And, we were SHOCKED to see her at the end of the night starting to tear everything down!

    Missy of Occasion Creation is hands down the absolute BEST at what she does. She is fun, hard working, detail oriented, and makes you feel like family when working with her. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for an event planner!
