Paige and William (J. Verno Studios Reception)

I love my clients.  I love the fact that they LOVE to plan, and want to involve me in ways to make their day truly memorable.  As my DJ business has grown over the years I’ve developed a real passion to help people make their day unique.  I had a chance to do some really fun and innovative things at the reception of Paige Honeywell and William Kress.  The reception was held at J. Verno Studios in Pittsburgh, PA.

First a word about the venue – stunning.  J. Verno opens his studio for many types of events.  Having your reception at the actual photographers’ studio really opens the door for some amazing opportunities.  They offer a fantastic photo booth where Paige and Bill provided lots of fun costumes for their guests to pose in.  This was a HUGE hit with everyone!

Paige and Bill provided me with a great set list to use throughout the evening.  I love it when my guests introduce me to new music!

Paige works as a school teacher, so she was certain to provide goody bags for all of the younger guests.  SO smart!

I always tell people that I’m thrilled to play a part of anything they have planned, even stuff that is new to me.  Paige provided me an awesome list of questions to use in “The Newlywed Shoe Game”.  It was such a success I just had to share it here.

After all the special activities, it was time to open the floor for some dancing!

I was so excited to get to see Darla and Matthew Abel at the reception, I was the DJ at their wedding back in 2008. They were awesome enough to suggest me to Paige and Bill.

Paige and Bill met at Kennywood, and looking back I think they gave their guests a bit of an beautiful and elegant theme park reception.  There were games, prizes, photo ops, wonderful food mixed with great friends and family.  I loved being part of something so well planned and unique to these two fantastic people.

This review is for those of you who recognize excellence. DJ Eric Schiemer of Schiemer Entertainment was absolutely wonderful for our wedding! He is more than just a DJ. When we were searching to hire someone, we didn’t just want a DJ that played generic wedding music or someone who played whatever they wanted. As his clients, we were highly impressed that he met with us several weeks prior to the wedding to get a feel for us and to see what our personalities were like. This helped him to determine what our musical style was. He introduced us to his online wedding planner which was exactly what we wanted. He allowed us to pick and choose any song we wanted to hear that evening. If he didn’t have it…he found it! Aside from the fact that he was flexible and easy to work with, he is just a “great guy”. He is really nice and he made sure that our evening was perfect…and it was. The flawless flow of the whole reception was a result of his professional experience. Our reception was classy and extremely fun! Thanks to Eric…we shared one of the best nights of our life!
