The reality TV star, 26, hosted an engagement party on Saturday, Aug. 17, at the miniature golf venue Puttery in Pittsburgh to celebrate her upcoming marriage to fiancé Brian Thalman.

The pair shared their engagement with PEOPLE in May, and revealed that Thalman’s surprise proposal occurred at Frick Park in the dancer's hometown of Pittsburgh while surrounded by their close family members.
