About us

Meg Van Dyke

FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL PLANNER

Hi, I’m Meg Van Dyke, a wedding planner in the great city of Pittsburgh! After spending 10 years as a wedding coordinator at my church, I decided to follow my passion and launch my own wedding planning business – Yinz Getting Married. Helping couples create unforgettable celebrations is my joy, and I love bringing a mix of organization, creativity, and fun to the planning process.

Beyond weddings, I’m a proud mom to two precious girls and have been happily married to Josh for 18 years. I’m an avid sports fan (go Pittsburgh!), a passionate home cook, and a lover of all things local. You’ll often find me in my garden, experimenting in the kitchen with fresh ingredients, or sharing meals with family, friends, and neighbors. (Who knows? I may just cook for you!)

Things that bring me joy: my faith, watching sports, trying new restaurants, exploring the city with my family, traveling, and enjoying a glass (or two) of wine on my patio.

Let’s make wedding magic together—Yinz ready?

Amy Dobrotka

Weddings have always been a passion of mine. Growing up I was always looking for a reason to throw a party or help a friend plan a special event. I've traveled around the country putting on different types of events, Pittsburgh is one of my favorite cities with the diverse venues it has to offer!

Weddings are my favorite events to plan! I started doing day of coordinating for friends and family but the idea of doing this full-time became a reality after I had my dream wedding effected by COVID.

I married my amazing husband in April of 2020 in a park with a few friends as witnesses. This was plan D! This disappointment lit a fire in my heart to help other couples make their dream a reality (especially in the case of emergencies).

I love walking into a venue and seeing it come to life on a wedding day. It's like a blank canvas waiting for an artist to paint. It is truly special that a couple trusts me to help them on one of the biggest days of their lives.

My favorite moment on a wedding day is seeing the couples' reaction when they see each other for the first time.

When I'm not planning weddings, I am a stay at home mom to three beautiful girls under two (I know it sounds crazy but I am good at multitasking). I will never pass up a good book or spending summer evenings outside with friends.

Sophia Pezzuti

Hi, I'm Sophia Pezzuti and beyond excited that you're considering Yinz Getting Married. I have always loved weddings! It all started when I was the flower girl at my aunt and uncle’s wedding and it’s only grown into a passion since then. There’s nothing more special than the celebrations that bring friends & loved ones together. Planning my own wedding made me gain even more appreciation for all of the little details that make those moments so great.

Being born and raised in Pittsburgh, I also have an extra special soft spot for the Pittsburgh cookie table and all of the love that goes into it! If you hire me, I’ll go the extra mile to ensure your table is beautiful and delicious.

I’m a proud Pitt alumni and when I’m not at weddings, you can probably find me at a Pitt sporting event supporting the Panthers. My love for bringing people together also extends to cooking and entertaining, ever since getting married in 2022, I am on a mission to constantly have a house full of happy & fed friends and family.

Sarah Komatsu

Hello! I’m Sarah Komatsu, and I’m thrilled to bring my passion for creating coordination out of chaos to Yinz Getting Married. With over 8 years of experience in event planning and logistics, including coordinating events in LA, I’ve developed a knack for crafting the details that make every celebration unforgettable.

My journey to wedding planning has been shaped by a deep appreciation for the magic that happens when people gather together. Whether it’s curating experiences that make people feel seen and celebrated or designing events filled with connection and joy, I strive to ensure every celebration is not just beautiful, but deeply meaningful.

When I’m not playing with spreadsheets or designing imaginary event floor plans, I love spending time at home with my husband and our two cats—“helping” Shugo in the kitchen (until I’m invited to leave), re-watching movies, or brainstorming unique ways to enjoy our "new" life back here in Pittsburgh. I also treasure quiet moments to reflect, explore creative ideas, and pray over life’s next adventures.

I cherish meaningful conversations and celebrating life’s big and small moments. I’m excited to work with you to create a wedding day that’s as special and unique as your love story!

Lydia Toy

Hello! I am Lydia Toy. I’m the youngest member of the YGM team as a 2025 high school graduate. I was born to plan parties! As the oldest of four kids, I grew up helping my mom plan countless birthday and Christmas parties, and hosting events for friends and family in our home. When I realized that event planning could be a very rewarding career path, the choice was simple! Over the last year, I have planned events for school, my friends, and worked with the YGM Team on wedding days. My love for wedding and event planning has grown exponentially and I am learning so much from Meg and Amy. Aside from events, I love Jesus, serving in kids ministry at my church, spending quality time with my loved ones, baking, traveling and exploring the world!
