Between…

  • your busy schedules

  • all the decisions that need to be made

  • all the vendors you need to coordinate

  • and all the inspiration and ideas pulling you in different directions

…planning a wedding can easily become stressful, and it can be hard to know where to start.

That’s where I come in. I help take the wedding planning stressors off your hands so that you can sit back and enjoy the time leading up to your wedding.

The goal is to look around on your wedding day with a warm and fuzzy feeling, knowing that your wedding was earth-friendly and true to YOU.

The Process

 

Let’s connect.

 

Let’s see if we’re a good fit for one another! We’ll start with a quick, 20-minute discovery call to discuss your wedding vision and get to know one another.

 

Let’s get planning.

 

This is where the fun starts! We’ll source an amazing team of vendors that will help you bring your vision to life and come up with a beautiful, personalized design for your wedding. We’ll go green as much as you want to! As we get closer to the wedding date, we’ll work with the vendors to coordinate the logistics and finalize all the details.

 

Let’s get Married.

 

Well, you can get married. I’ll be on the sidelines watching with tears in my eyes, smiling, and making sure that the day runs smoothly so that you can sit back and soak in all the love and warmth.

  • "We were pleasantly surprised at how quickly it seemed like you "got" us - our values, tastes, likes and dislikes, etc. You were such a huge part of the biggest day of our life - we can't imagine doing it without you. Thank you for everything!"

    Kelly & Elliott S.

  • "We had some time constraints that caused us to have to plan our wedding very quickly, and we're very glad that we found and chose YOU. We are incredibly grateful to you for making our wedding day so special! The love and care you put into your planning could really be felt when we worked with you, and we appreciated your professionalism on the big day!"

Partial Planning

You’ve done some of the planning. Perhaps you’ve booked your venue or a couple vendors. Now you need help with the rest. Whether you need guidance with the design process or sourcing some key vendors, I’ll work with you to come up with a custom package to meet your needs. Plus, I’ll handle the coordination of the logistics leading up to the wedding day and take care of managing the wedding day itself.

Eco-Friendly Wedding Management

If you’re looking for a wedding coordinator (AKA “day of coordination” or “month of coordination”), I promise you that what you really want is wedding management. Designed to bring you peace of mind, this service involves me stepping in a few months before your wedding date to handle the logistics, tie up any loose ends, and create a timeline that allows you to spend time with family and friends on the wedding day. It also includes full wedding day management to ensure your day runs smoothly.

Plus, I do it all with an eco-conscious twist! I work with you and your vendors to figure out where we can make simple tweaks to increase the sustainability of your wedding.

INtimate Micro Weddings & Elopements

One way to make your wedding more sustainable is to cut down on resources and waste by simply hosting a smaller, more intimate event. Having an intimate wedding can also allow you to provide you and your guests with a more elevated experience.

If you’re looking to break from tradition and elope or hold a more intimate event, I would love to help you with the design and planning components.

Pricing based on the scope of the event

Wedding Management starts at $1,800

Angela of Eco & Ivory Wedding Planning

Meet The Planner

Hi, I’m Angela. I’m certified in wedding and event planning and design, as well as green wedding planning. I bring my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling into every conversation and interaction I have with you and your vendors.

I don’t claim to be a miracle worker or know all the answers, but if I don’t know something, I will do my best to figure it out.

When working with me, you’ll find:

  • I’m smiley, calm, and somewhat laid back on the outside, yet I’m on top of things and always striving for perfection on the inside.

  • I do a lot of listening, aside from when I’m not asking you questions. I want you to feel heard and supported throughout the planning process.

  • And you won’t know this, but I will get so excited about your wedding details that I’ll be in bed at night thinking about which napkin will go best with your table setting or what embellishment would make your wedding extra special.

“Your services were the absolutely best decision that we made throughout any of this process. We would choose you over and over again if we had to.”

— Val & John V.

 FAQ’s

 

  • You will see this referred to as “wedding management” above, and yes, I do! Coordinating your wedding will involve me stepping in at least several weeks or months before your wedding day to provide the best service possible, and it includes 3 meetings/walk throughs, timeline creation, unlimited email communication within 4 months of the wedding, and much more. Please note that I limit the amount of wedding management packages I take on during peak season. Contact me today to learn more!

  • I know it can feel overwhelming choosing a planner with all the options that are out there. I pride myself in being the only wedding planner that specializes in eco-friendly events in Pittsburgh. I also strive to be warm, kind, organized, and professional. I like working with couples who are less traditional and want their wedding to feel very personal. I look forward to creating something special for you and giving you peace of mind throughout the wedding planning process.

  • My wedding coordination/management package starts at $1,800. Pricing depends on the scope of your event, location, time of year, and staffing needed. For budget-conscious couples, I offer smaller kickstarter services. I would love to chat more about your wedding, and if needed, put together a custom package for you! Contact me for more info!

  • The initial consultation, or discovery call, is a complementary 20-minute call that helps us learn more about each other. It helps me understand what your overall vision is for your wedding. I’ll start off by asking you some questions and then open it up to you to ask me any questions you have. I’ll end the call by discussing the next steps in the process. Overall, a discovery call is a great chance for both of us to see if we would be a good fit before going through the process of booking.

  • I work with couples who tend to be busy with work, school, or life in general, whether they are living an eco-friendly lifestyle to the fullest or just dabbling in sustainability. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and work with all backgrounds, regardless of race, culture, gender identity, sexuality, religion, age, bodies, and abilities.

  • All packages include a commitment to sustainability, along with assistance with making your wedding eco-friendlier during every step of the way.

    With my full-service planning package, there’s not much that I don’t do. It includes assistance with creating a budget, venue touring and booking, sourcing eco-friendly vendors (catering, entertainment, photography, hair and makeup, florals, rentals, etc.), designing the event, handling the logistics, creating a wedding timeline, finalizing the details, and managing the wedding on the day itself.

    Wedding management will depend on when you hire me but can include checklists and reminders to keep you on track with important milestones, timeline creation, vendor coordination, the finalization of the details, and (of course) wedding day management.
