Say It With Us!
kah-RISS-tee-uh.
A name rooted in love, family, and connection - and yes, it’s totally okay if you had to sound it out the first time. We get that a lot.
Caristia draws its name from an ancient Roman celebration once held each February - a day devoted to love, connection, and gathering with your closest people. We’ve reimagined that sentiment for the modern world: elevated wedding design with style, soul, and a distinctly modern point of view.
A celebration that feels like art. A story that feels like you.

Caristia started with a simple truth: Cara loves helping people celebrate life’s best moments. And she can’t resist a good love story.
After almost two decades in the hospitality and event world, Cara’s seen it all. Glitzy galas, packed ballrooms, and iconic Pittsburgh venues. But weddings? Those have always been her heart.
Her years of venue experience give her an edge. She knows how venues tick, what vendors need, and how to make the magic look effortless. She’s your calm in the chaos, your detail-catcher, your “don’t-worry-I’ve-got-this” person. And above all, she truly loves what she does - making your celebration feel as unforgettable as your story.
Let’s be real. Everyone can use a planner. Big bash or intimate soirée, having someone who knows how to wrangle vendors, timelines, and last-minute “oops” moments? Total game-changer.
​
The best part? A great planner doesn’t cost you money - she saves it (along with your sanity and weekends).
​
At Caristia, we speak fluent logistics and vendor love, making sure every piece clicks perfectly into place.
​
And because love is love (always has been, always will be), we proudly celebrate every couple - every gender, every culture, every story.
