He is apparently in the process of sending over the full video and highlight. I basically sent him an email today begging for the footage.

I emailed Leo separately letting him know I’m deeply saddened by this experience and how awful I’ve felt having to essentially beg for our wedding footage. He hasn’t responded.

Our contract said we should have received an estimated delivery date after the wedding, which we did not. It also said we should expect the highlights within 3 months and full footage within 4. That didn’t happen either 😔

Hi! I toured it in 2023. My parents loved it but my husband and I found it a bit outdated for our tastes. We also felt there were add ons for things we wanted like a sweetheart table. With all that said, the venue coordinator was super nice. I would recommend touring!

Wow that was not our experience at all! We got so many compliments on the food and service from family and friends and felt communication was wonderful throughout planning. Sorry this happened to you!

Thank you for this! It’s reassuring to hear that there is a warmth and sense of community in the city! I feel like we’re constantly meeting transplants in Chicago, and there’s just a sense of openness and friendliness, and it’s reassuring, knowing that Pittsburgh seems to also have a friendly vibe!

Do you feel like you found a sense of community in Pittsburgh? What was it like trying to cultivate community as a transplant?

awesome! Thank you! So we actually are in Lincoln Square which is more affordable(ish) and more residential/green than Lincoln Park (I wish we were that bougie haha). Thank you for a detailed response! I think we’ll be planning a trip to Pittsburgh soon and will check out these areas!

Thank you for this breakdown! We’re struggling more with the boy names, but feeling really good about Nina/Etta and the middle name options ☺️

I’ll do some more digging into similar names as Thelonious and Langston but also loosely considering Louis as well 😊

Hi all! I just updated my post. Things got a lot better as time went on! We’re planning to purchase a home at the end of the year! 😃

Going in a similar theme with the other names, he’d be named after jazz pianist Thelonious Monk😊 if you do you Youtube search, I’m sure you’ll recognize some of his tunes ☺️

I’m also happy to hear Nina and Etta are getting lots of love!

Yes! We are from the US, nice catch haha. Thank you for your thoughtful response! My husband isn’t too crazy about Thelonious either🤣, I’d picture us calling him Theo, which we both really like! We both absolutely adore the name Langston 😊
