Becoming a couple was an easy decision for Trinity Kronk and Austin Samson. “After our first date, Austin asked me to be his girlfriend, and I said yes. We just kind of knew from the beginning it was going to be us forever,” says Trinity. The couple’s ability to personalize a timeless wedding reception at the Duquesne Club showcases their similarly apparent connection.
A Wedding at Pittsburgh’s Duquesne Club
They carried that sense of ease and certainty into planning their wedding, putting together the love-centered celebration in just two months with the expert help of Martin Potoczny, founder of LUXE Creative.
“Trinity and Austin are incredibly kind and sincere, and we became completely in sync during the design process. Once the full vision of the wedding was conveyed, they were gracious enough to give us their complete trust. Our team worked to coordinate every last detail, and the evening was simply perfect.”
A Venue of Beauty and Simplicity
Most notably, the couple chose stunning florals that were visually impressive while being complementary to the historic space. The floral design was similar throughout the venue to maintain the cohesive feel in every corner.
Austin’s Uncle Ed made the simply delicious almond cake with raspberry filling.
Keeping the reception to just 47 guests allowed the couple to focus on what was most important to them and make “everything as personal, intimate, and meaningful as possible. The party was just an additional excitement to the whole purpose of the day,” remembers Trinity.
Trinity wore a simple, striking gown from Bridal Beginning.
More than anything, she says, “We had an amazing time, and we got to spend it with the people we love.”
Additionally, The newlyweds shared a first dance to Frank Sinatra’s Fly Me to the Moon. The bride and groom took up lessons with James Page, professional instructor with Night and Day Dance Studio. This put the cherry on top of their beautiful celebration of love.
“This wedding was a flawless experience for the guests, the family, and the bride and groom. We were able to deliver due in large part to the confidence that the bride and groom had in our team,” says Potoczny.
