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.
