Our Approach
Hello Productions, which began in Pittsburgh, PA, is under the ownership of Ashley Moss Kurkiewicz. It currently has three office locations: one serving the greater region of Pittsburgh, a second serving the Meadville and Erie, PA area, and the third serving Raleigh, NC, and surrounding areas in the Triangle. In addition to weddings and private events, the Hello Productions team offers event planning services for corporate functions and nonprofit events.
Hello Productions also offers marketing, public relations, and social media services as well as event venue consultations. We can create marketing campaigns and manage all of your platforms, or you can choose from one of our streamlined packages. Our venue consultation service is best suited for new venues who need guidance on what systems and paperwork they need to have in place before hosting events. We never charge for an initial consultation to discuss what services might work best for you as it is important these packages are tailored to your company or venue.

Christina McLachlan
Christina has worked with Hello Productions for a decade! She graduated from Carlow University in 2012 with a degree in Corporate Communication and a double minor in Business Management and History.
While she began planning events at a young age, her love for event coordination flourished when she coordinated various events for Carlow University, including a campus-wide move-in day for the Residence Life department. During her junior year of undergrad, she was the Special Events Intern at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Pennsylvania, planning the Fashions for Kid’s Sake Fashion Show and developing a mentoring program for underprivileged youth. After college, she began working in Development at Sojourner House, a Pittsburgh nonprofit for women with children.

Danielle
Bruggeman
Danielle has worked with Hello Productions since early 2022, after a chance meeting with Christina at, of course, a wedding! She holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Management from Saint Vincent College and a long-time position with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
A true passion for event planning stirred early in Danielle. At the tender age of seventeen, she was serving on the Fundraising Committee of her local American Red Cross chapter and helping to plan and coordinate their annual Gala. She was mentored by exceptional women at the Red Cross in all things nonprofit and volunteered for many years. Naturally in college, she pursued Student Activities Programming Board and leadership programs as her extra-curricular activities while graduating Cum Laude and as a member of multiple honor societies in 2007.
In 2010, due to a very personal connection, Danielle sought out a volunteer position with the American Cancer Society and joined the Planning Committee for their largest local fundraiser – Relay for Life. She served first as the Chairperson of the Activities Sub-Committee and ultimately took on the role of Co-Chair of the Planning Committee.
On a personal level, friends and family were increasingly calling on Danielle to lend a vision and a hand in all sorts of events. In a glimpse of things to come, Danielle even hosted a wedding in her own backyard for a friend with maybe a month's notice - and enjoyed every minute of it!
Weddings became the real focus for her in 2017, as she planned her own with unbridled enthusiasm. Long after her own nuptials, the spark remained and Danielle began pursuing every opportunity to help with weddings of family, friends, friends of friends, and so on.
What Danielle brings to your event will be support for your vision, a plan (and a back up plan) to make it happen, and a guaranteed tear during your vows - because even after all this time, she still cries at weddings! You will have a cheerleader, a voice of reason, a spark of creative ideas, and an endless supply of resourcefulness at your side.
Danielle resides in rural Westmoreland County with her husband Scott and their seven (yes, 7) cats. She enjoys her swimming pool, hosting gatherings, a good adventure, and 100% cotton sheets.
