Wanderlust Event planning was an absolute game changer. Planning a wedding across the miles with Wanderlust gave us peace of mind that the unknown would go according to plan.

We can’t thank Sam and the Wanderlust team enough! Working with them was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Absolutely fantastic. They saved an organizational disaster (my wife and I are both easily distractable) and turned it into the best day of our lives. We couldn't have had such an amazing celebration without them.

We hired Ali and the Wanderlust team for month-of coordination for our wedding in July 2026. Ali was attentive, helpful, detail-oriented, and gave excellent recommendations for us to think about. We are so happy we hired Ali because she made both the planning process AND the day of easy and stress-free. Ali already knew every vendor we were working with, so the working relationships were seamless and trusted. She attended vendor meetings with us, provided her perspective and experience, and ensured we were getting what we needed. She created a timeline and designated people for specific roles so that the day of was easy and fun for us. We had the best day ever and everything went so smoothly. We did not have to worry about any details because they were already taken care of. I would recommend anyone planning a wedding to use Ali and Wanderlust to help bring their vision to life and make wedding planning FUN instead of stressful!
We cannot recommend Wanderlust Wedding & Events enough for month-of coordination! Our wedding was 2 months ago and was better than we could have ever imagined thanks to their team! From the moment they stepped in, the entire planning process became so much less stressful. They were incredibly easy to work with and had worked with all of our vendors before, which made communication and coordination seamless. You can tell they are truly the experts and have such a great relationship with Pittsburgh vendors! Renee was absolutely amazing. She was so sweet, caring, and professional throughout the entire process. Her communication was excellent, and I never had to worry because I knew she had everything under control. She made sure every detail we envisioned was taken care of and truly went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day reflected exactly what we wanted. Because of Renee and the Wanderlust team, we were able to relax and fully enjoy our wedding day, knowing everything was being handled. If you’re looking for a coordinator who is organized, experienced, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, we wholeheartedly recommend Wanderlust Wedding & Events!
Hiring Wanderlust was hands down one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. When I first started planning, I wasn't even sure I needed a wedding planner. Looking back now, I genuinely cannot imagine our wedding without them. We selected their partial planning service because I wanted to stay involved in the process and choose my own vendors, and it ended up being the perfect fit. Ali was with me through almost the entire planning journey, and I leaned on her constantly. She helped me navigate decision fatigue, provided guidance when I needed it, and struck the perfect balance between letting me make my own decisions while also offering her expertise in design, logistics, and planning. Whenever I felt overwhelmed or unsure, she was there with thoughtful advice and recommendations. Whether it was helping with design details or recommending amazing vendors when I decided at the last minute that I needed a photo booth and stationery, she always had a solution. What impressed me most was how invested Ali was in bringing our vision to life. She became my voice when I needed one, communicated with vendors on my behalf, and ensured everyone understood exactly what we wanted. She helped all of our vendors work together seamlessly to create a wedding that felt completely and authentically us. When the wedding day arrived, Ali and Hillary absolutely took charge in the best possible way. They coordinated every vendor, managed the timeline, handled guest questions, and made sure every space looked exactly as we had envisioned. Their professionalism, organization, and attention to detail were incredible. I never once had to worry about what was happening behind the scenes because they had everything completely under control. Most importantly, they allowed us to be fully present. We were able to enjoy the best day of our life completely stress-free because I knew Ali and Hillary had everything covered. I truly don't know how I would have gotten through the day without them. If you're debating whether you need a wedding planner, take it from someone who originally didn't think she did - you do! And even if your venue provides a coordinator, hire a wedding planner, especially Wanderlust and their team. The level of support, advocacy, expertise, and peace of mind they provide goes far beyond what a venue coordinator can offer. Their team was invaluable and hiring them was one of the best investments we made for our wedding. Because of them, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more! Thank you, Ali and Hillary!!
We can’t thank Sam and the Wanderlust team enough! Working with them was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We had been thinking about doing a trivia game, and Sam took that idea and elevated it beyond what we imagined—she seamlessly incorporated it alongside our first dance, cake cutting, and even our Pittsburgh cookie table! On top of that, Sam and her team made every piece of décor look stunning—we honestly can’t imagine the day without them. Working with Sam and Wanderlust was absolutely the best decision we made!
Renee was absolutely amazing and played such a huge role in making our wedding day perfect! From the moment we started working with her, we knew we were in great hands. She created a thoughtful, detailed timeline that kept everything running smoothly, and because of her organization and expertise, we never had to worry about a single thing on our wedding day. Renee handled every detail seamlessly and made sure everything stayed on track, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. My husband and I can honestly say it was the best day of our lives so far, and a big part of that was because of Renee's hard work and dedication. We truly cannot say enough good things about her. She is professional, kind, attentive, and incredibly talented at what she does. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will make your day stress-free and unforgettable, Renee and the Wanderlust team are the absolute best. We are so grateful for everything they did for us!
