Stark White Weddings - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We cannot recommend Jess and Stark White Weddings highly enough! She was an absolute lifesaver before and on our wedding day, ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish. She kept our timeline on track, handled last-minute transportation hiccups seamlessly (including directing traffic after our bus driver made an incorrect stop on Forbes Avenue), and navigated unexpected rain without a hitch. Her calm, professional, and proactive approach made all the difference, allowing us to truly enjoy our day without stress. Everyone, including our other vendors, raved about how beautifully coordinated everything was, and we owe so much of that to her! If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your wedding day perfect, Jess is the best choice you could make!

We were on the fence for months about if we wanted to hire a coordinator or not. Once we met with Jess, we knew from the first 5 minutes that she was perfect for us and exactly what we needed. She helped us finalize our design choices, coordinated with all our vendors, helped set everything up at the venue, and so much more. Hiring Jess eased our minds and took a lot of the stress out of our wedding day for us. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, organized, detail-oriented, and went above and beyond to make our day so incredibly special. We were able to enjoy our wedding day because Jess and her team had everything handled and left us with absolutely nothing to worry about. I truly do not think we could have done it without Jess and her magic!

We are so happy we booked Stark White Weddings for our wedding this past summer! Jessica definitely saved our sanity multiple times throughout the planning process, and on the day of everything went perfectly. We felt like we could enjoy the day and take it all in without stressing.

We booked Stark White Weddings for Day-of Coordination, but we got so much more interaction from Jessica than just the day of!

Communication throughout the process was very easy. Jessica was always responsive and flexible, which helped a lot since we were planning our wedding from DC. Jessica was knowledgeable and well networked in the Pittsburgh wedding industry. She gave us great contacts for hair and makeup vendors when the bride wasn't sure where to start, and she wrangled our venue point of contact for us when we were struggling to get ahold of the venue.

It's reassuring to have some backup on your team when dealing with all the different people and businesses it takes to put on a big event, and on a couple of occasions we were glad we had that backup. Everyone told us that a Day-Of Coordinator was worth every penny, and we couldn't agree more!

We would definitely recommend Stark White Weddings and couldn't be happier with how our wedding turned out!

We couldn't have asked for a better day-of coordinator than Jessica! Coordinating a nearly 300 person wedding is certainly a task and being able to think of every detail that goes into it appears impossible. But, Jessica made it possible. From start to finish, she was there every step of the way, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and she anticipated every need before we even thought of it. On our wedding day, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing — Jessica had everything under control. Her professionalism and expertise truly showed, and it was clear she is an expert at what she does. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy every moment of our special day. Highly recommend!

I would highly recommend Stark White Weddings for your wedding planning needs. Jessica was a pleasure to work with, organized, personable and on top of things! Whenever I was having difficulty communicating with my caterer she stepped right in and handled everything. I was able to relax and knew my wedding reception was in good hands. She outlined every detail and came up with a perfect timeline for the day. We never felt rushed and the day went so smoothly all we needed to do was have a good time and enjoy making memories. She even helped me save on a few items and brought things from her own stash which tied things together beautifully! At the end of the night they were able to pack everything up for us to take back to our house. There isn’t enough nice things I can about Jessica and her husband. If there’s one thing that’s a must for your wedding day it’s to get a wedding planner and I couldn’t have picked a better one!

Jess, Ravonne, and Ada helped make our wedding day the best day ever. I was one of those brides that was very stressed about every little detail and obsessed over everything going smoothly (I mean, I was having wedding nightmares for MONTHS leading up to the wedding). I also did a TON of DIY, including all of the flowers, decorations, signage, etc., and my venue was a fully-open museum the day of my wedding, so I needed a coordination team that would set up all of my very plentiful decorations, executed to my vision, and in a very short amount of time. Lemme tell you- Stark White DELIVERED. They seriously took every little anxiety I had and HANDLED IT. From the timeline, helping me make decisions about anything from hiring a limo to where to get photos, and coordinating with vendors, by the week of the wedding it felt like everything was off of my shoulders and into Ravonne's hands. On the day of the wedding, they executed everything exactly how I had envisioned it, with no hiccups, kept us to our timeline, and did it all with a smile on their faces. I'm actually convinced Ravonne is magic. It was such a perfect day and I know for sure it couldn't have been done without Stark White. Thank you thank you thank you for the amazing work <3

Jessica is the Real Deal. I'm a fellow Pittsburgh wedding planner, and she has saved my butt on many occasions when she assisted me on site in the past. Her ability to take charge, solve the problem (and there are alwayssss problems!), and do it with a sense of humor is exactly what you want in a planner. When a wedding client forget the escort cards for each guests assigned seat (we finally got them in hand, not in order at all, ~30 mins before opening the reception doors), Jess sprang into action and got every card to the right table and chair with time to spot check. She is kind, will give you practical guidance throughout your planning process (no fluff, so refreshing), and will run the show like a BOSS day of your wedding. I miss having her as part of my team, but am SO proud of the business she is building. HIRE this woman!

On 6/1/2024 I was the DJ for the Liberatore wedding at The Grand Estate at Hidden Acres. Jessica took on the role as coordinator and made things go incredibly smoothly. Her preparation and attention day of prevented mishaps and turned the various vendors (each doing their own thing) into a coordinated team that operated as one well oiled unit.

As DJ I attend a lot of weddings and few things can set you up for success like having Stark White as your planner!
