THE PAPER HEART 807 Ligonier Street, Latrobe, PA 15650

"There was no doubt to choose the Paper Heart for my venue! I had to choose a venue on short notice and went to look at the Paper Heart. It was the first one I looked at and the one I chose! Emily (the owner) was so easy and nice to work with!! She was so helpful, friendly, and accommodating!! Their space is beautiful and we were really able to turn it into our own and something that represented “us.” Their space is the perfect size and a great canvas for any type of event you’d want! Emily is a wonderful event planner and can really help with suggestions!! I highly, highly recommend the Paper Heart!!"

"Photos copyright Photography by Amanda Wilson and used with permission. Emily did an amazing job on my mix of sola wood/artificial flower bouquets and boutonnieres for my wedding. Since my wedding was in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, I wanted to use artificial since the reception was likely to be months after the actual ceremony, and I could use them twice. Emily was so easy to work with, taking great care to make sure I was happy with the final result. They were gorgeous, and fit perfectly for the fall wedding and our spring reception. Emily even repaired some of the flowers and boutonnieres that had been roughly handled by the bridal party for our spring reception! She also made adorable artificial flower collars for my two dogs--our ring bearer and flower girl (Note in the photos the flower girl is wearing both because my husband ended up buying a bowtie for the ring bearer after I placed the order). The best part is I get to keep my bridal bouquet prominently displayed in my new home. The dog collars are decorating the mantel of the fireplace. My husband's boutonniere now sits on a bookshelf with our framed wedding photos. Every time I see them it reminds me of our two "wedding" days! Plus, the guest who caught our toss bouquet (also made by Paper Heart Affairs) at the reception was so thrilled with the quality of the bouquet and that she would permanently get to keep it!"

"I worked with Emily to create my flower decor for around my home. She made my dream decorations a reality! Also, I needed some baskets created for an event & they were reasonably priced with unique, fun gifts in it! Emily will always have my business for future parties, decor, & gifts!"

"Stopped in for the open house. Lots of unique ideas and gifts. If I were planning a wedding I would definitely be talking with them about my decorations. High quality silks, custom boutiniers and boquets can also be rented. Staff is super creative and friendly and helpful. They have a real can do approach to serving their customers."
