The Sangeet, which means “sung together” is a pre-wedding ceremony where the families come together to sing, dance and celebrate the festivities to come.

We are thrilled to celebrate with Mo and Loy today!!

Had a hard time narrowing down photos for and Josh’s wedding collage! When you work with someone as talented as Katie Long you’ll have a gallery that truly captures the special moments from your special day.

Nothing like months of planning a wedding to see the culmination of smiles and joy radiating from their faces. What a joy to celebrate Mia and Brian!
It may have taken 15 months, but having say the words “Meg, I trust you!” was the icing on the cake!

Feeling honored that featured my first ever styled shoot. I, once again, thank Ashley Giffin, who trusted me with this project (her brain child) and all the other vendors who came together to create something so special.

We think F. Scott Fitzgerald himself would fall in love with this art deco inspired wedding styled shoot from Ashley Giffin Photography.

Started the 2024 Season off with one of the sweetest couples I have ever met.

Maeve and Robert’s wedding was a beautiful fusion of love, culture, and profession, perfectly reflecting the vibrant personalities of this delightful couple. As doctors, they undoubtedly brought a caring and attentive touch to every detail of their special day, ensuring it was not just a celebration of their love but also a testament to their commitment to each other and their shared values.

Maeve’s Irish heritage added an enchanting layer of tradition and charm to the festivities, infusing the day with rich symbolism and heartfelt customs.

During the ceremony, Maeve and Robert exchanged the Irish Wedding Coin, a tradition where the groom presents a coin to his bride representing that from that point forward, everything he owns would be equally shared. Maeve offered her own coin to Robert, (a modern interpretation) symbolizing the significance of her own worth and value that she brings to their partnership.

The reception was a lively affair, filled with laughter, music, and dancing. Guests indulged in traditional mulled wine and of course, fine whiskey! The dance floor was never empty as Maeve and Robert danced to the sounds of Irish music and contemporary hits, surrounded by their loved ones who shared in their joy.

Throughout the day, it was evident that Maeve and Robert’s love was not only palpable but infectious, spreading joy and warmth to all who had the pleasure of celebrating with them. As the night drew to a close, the couple bid farewell to their guests under a shower of sparklers, embarking on their journey together with hearts full of love and memories to last a lifetime.

Congratulations, dear friends!

When a wedding day falls on the same day as the biggest game of the season!

If you use “Renegade” as your entrance song, you’re basically my favorite people.

Mehrgol and Jasper’s Aroosi (wedding) was a celebration of two heritages. We were able to beautifully weave together traditional Persian/Iranian wedding customs (like the Sofreh Aghd) with some Black/African American cultural elements (jumping the broom).

Mehrgol and Jasper are two of the most intentional humans I’ve ever met - using their special day to celebrate the richness of their cultures!

I was honored that they entrusted me to plan their special day and will forever be thankful for the experience to witness their love for each other and their families.

Most of the YGM feed features amazing couples and vendors that I have the privilege of highlighting, but this one is going to be a little different.

Launching a small business is hard. Managing the day to day of your own small business is packed full of highs, lows, doubts, stresses, loneliness, worry, hustle, and sometimes a celebration here and there.

But sometimes you have a day when people blow you away, and see potential in you that you don’t always see in yourself. Fear and doubt are such powerful forces that hold you back… but saying yes can unlock opportunity you didn’t think was possible.

After years of being a Table Magazine subscriber, I got a email one day from the Editor in Chief: “Meg, love the work you are doing, would love to hear some ideas you might have for Table magazine. Let’s talk”

“Whaaaaaaaaaaatttt?!?!?!? Me??!!! No way!!!!”

So I pulled myself together (and asked my husband if he thought this was a scam 😂), and took that scary step forward and took a phone call with

So…. be on the lookout in ‘24… YGM stepped beyond weddings, and will be a featured Collaborator for - I pitched a multi-edition series and then was entrusted to plan & coordinate the photo shoots. So, make sure to renew (or start a new subscription) so you can see a series of shoots highlighting food, friendships, family gatherings, seasonal celebrations, and community.

Know what’s even better? Having the chance to pay it forward, and support other independent, woman-owned small business - providing opportunities for friends to highlight their skills, expand their reach, and share the passion of their craft.



Community over competition. We’re stronger when we support and encourage.

When you’re the planner of your niece’s wedding, you get to hire some of your all time favorite vendor peeps and also put your family members to work 😂 you also get to stare at the most beautiful flower girls you’ve ever seen (they’re my daughters) 🥰

Emily and Matt - I am thrilled for you guys and excited to live in the same city where your marriage adventure begins. We love yinz!

A whimsical garden party with live music made this wedding one of my all time favorites! Christina and Nick were an absolute joy to work with and I admit, at the end of the night, I was genuinely sad it was all over. Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Daley!

Hi friends,

It’s Meg, Owner & Lead Planner of Yinz Getting Married. If this is your first time on my page, welcome! I’m glad you’re here.

After working in the industry for 10 years, I launched my own wedding planning business in 2017 - Yinz Getting Married.

When planning a wedding, it is easy to become overwhelmed! Venues, vendors, timelines… what’s important, what’s not?! It can be daunting. A wedding planner may be just what you need! Whether you need help from start to finish or one that handles all the last minute details a month out, I can create a package that works just for you! Think of me as an "a la carte” planner, that will create a personalized package that fits your specific needs.

I specialize in listening to my clients and getting the job done! We’ll spend time getting to know each other so I can feel confident that my plans reflect your wishes. My hope is that YGM clients feel like they’re working with an invested friend and not just another hired vendor. Let me handle all the details so you can show up and be present on your wedding day.

With a degree in Musical Theater, I’m accustomed to memorizing lines, feeding off adrenaline, knowing who should be in the spotlight, juggling choreography, and knowing how to ad lib on the spot; all things that make me great at what I do.

Let’s work together to plan the wedding of your dreams!

Missing MOH means YGM needs to call MOB and MOG at the same time.

Matt and Staci wanted a small, intimate ceremony in their backyard. Surrounded by their family and pup Geno, they exchanged vows and became husband and wife. The reception was held at Pastaio Restaurant where their friends and family ate and danced the night away!

Ashley Giffin, (photographer) approached me with an idea.

Inspired by the energy, drama and colors of the 1920's era, Ashley tasked me to plan and implement her vision of a modern Great Gatsby inspired wedding.

The Oaklander Hotel provided the perfect backdrop, and a talented team of vendors transported us back in time while infusing modern touches.

Highlighting an emerging 2023 wedding trend, Kaitlyn from Steel City Florals, incorporated floating elements: a dramatic bridal bouquet and the hanging arrangement suspended above the striking head table.

Take note of authentic and inspired details such as the duck head walking cane, bridal gown and velvet stationary designed by Jen at Blush Paper Co. which truly brought our vision together.

Music? A live band channeled that 20's speakeasy energy. Paul, Eric, Anton and Kenny serenaded Alexa and Luke (our real-life married couple) while dancing to stride jazz and early swing.

Wrapping up at the hotel's Spirit & Tales brassiere, stunning high floor views and a beautifully lit bar, delivered an intimate backdrop for the couple's celebratory toast.

If you are a previous client or vendor that has worked with me, you know how much I love sticking to a timeline. I get a thrill every time I grab my phone and see that we’re right on schedule. However, this timeline is a guide, useful to vendors (so their time is not wasted) and helpful for the couple so they can know what’s happening next. But sometimes, things happen during the wedding day that you cannot account for. Sometimes, adjustments need to be made and “going off-script” is exactly what’s called for.

Victor and Anna’s reception was going accordingly to plan - toasts were made, they had enjoyed their first dance as husband and wife and the cake was about to be cut. I checked my phone and we were right on time for dinner to be served.

But then came a moment we had not planned for.

Victor’s mom, who unfortunately has Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease, was not very lucid during the day to completely recognize what was going on. But in a moment of clarity, she realized she was at her son’s wedding and she wanted to dance with him. Victor rushed over to me and asked if we could make a change to the schedule. I’m pretty sure my exact words were “who cares about a timeline, absolutely! Go dance with your mom”

What happened next was probably the most beautiful thing I’ve ever witnessed at a wedding, although the tears blurred most of my vision.

Friends, a timeline is a wedding day must. But experiencing your wedding day and being present for all the moments the day provides… well, that is far more important to me.

Yinz Getting Married has grown significantly because my clients take the time to write reviews. And I will be forever thankful!

21/10/2022

This wedding will forever be one of the most memorable. Not just because it was outside during a hurricane. Or that obnoxious neighbors tried to shut it down. Or that we bribed cops to leave with cookies … but because of Kendall and Travis being 2 of the greatest humans you’ll ever meet. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Barkey!

One of the things I love most about my job is connecting clients to vendors. Sticking to a budget is important but making sure the vision and personalities match is a goal I strive to achieve. Introducing my clients, Mehrgol and Jasper to their photographers, The Richards was a match made in Heaven. Julia and Glen are so wonderful at getting to know their clients so they can capture and tell their story well. The engagement session was just the beginning of a beautiful story I’m thrilled to play a part in. We are all beyond excited for their wedding day!
