Serving Pittsburgh & the Greater Pittsburgh Area
Making Pittsburgh celebrations a little extra.
Warm, personal event design from Brandy Sinclair — balloons, backdrops, tablescapes and all the little details that make your guests stop in the doorway.
What we do
Your vision. Our creativity. A little extra.
Brandy sits down with you — over the phone, over coffee, over a messy Pinterest board — and turns your ideas, theme and colors into décor that actually feels cohesive, not a pile of pretty things that don't talk to each other.
Hire her for one statement piece — a balloon arch, a backdrop, a dessert table — or hand over the whole room. Either way, you get the same attention to detail and the same person answering your texts.

The work
It's the little details that make the biggest impression
Why Be A Little Extra
Because ordinary was never the goal
Personalized Designs
No copy-and-paste packages. Your design reflects your personality, your palette and the celebration you're actually throwing.
Attention to Detail
The little things — the signage, the napkin fold, the candle height — are what your guests end up talking about.
Creative Styling
Bring a Pinterest board, a single color, or one half-formed idea. Brandy will help you turn it into a look that feels like you.
Stress-Free Setup
With full-service bookings, the décor and setup are handled, so you're never on a ladder in your good clothes.
Pittsburgh-Based
A neighbor, not a call center — with real knowledge of venues and vendors across the Pittsburgh area.
The "Wow" Factor
The goal was never just to decorate a room. It's that moment your guests walk in and stop.
How it works
Four steps from idea to celebration
- 01
Tell Me About Your Event
Send over your date, venue, guest count and the picture in your head — even if it's still a little fuzzy. Half-formed ideas are welcome here.
- 02
Let's Talk It Through
We'll chat about your style, colors, must-haves and budget. No pressure, no packages to squeeze into — just a real conversation about your celebration.
- 03
Design & Details
I pull the décor, styling and personal touches together, including the little details that are easy to forget when you're planning everything else.
- 04
Enjoy Your Celebration
You walk in, see the room for the first time, and get to be a guest at your own party. That moment is my favorite part.
