Each wedding reception is always different, but I always love it when a client finds ways to make their day even more unique.  It’s the special touches that will be what your guests remember and tell their friends.  Yesterday I was fortunate to be the disc jockey at a reception that gave me lots to talk about for years to come.  Jenny deAngelis and Steve Weiss held their fantastic reception at the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Pittsburgh, PA.

The ballroom at the Renaissance looked beautiful as always.  Since the reception was held during the Fourth of July weekend, there was a subtle yet elegant patriotic theme to the decor.

Jenny and Steve have fun tastes in music and they chose a great variety throughout the evening.

The first dance happened perfectly at dusk.  They had a wonderfully choreographed dance to the song 867-5309 (Jenny Jenny) by Tommy Tutone.

Later in the evening, there was a great view of the Pittsburgh fireworks.

All the guests then danced the Hora as they lifted the newlyweds!

This may have been the furthest bouquet toss ever…

Jenny and Steve’s guests crowded the dance floor to every song.  What a great celebration!

Jenny and Steve spent a lot of time creating a day that no one will soon forget. I had such a great time as the DJ of a reception that was so fun and fresh.  The happy couple is off for a well deserved honeymoon in Tahiti.

The Renaissance Hotel is a spectacular place for a reception.  The view of the city from the ballroom is simply breathtaking, and their attention to every detail is simply perfect.

Once again, I had the chance to work with Heather of Weddings By Heather.  She is so great at capturing wonderful moments.

As you can tell by these photos, Maria and Steve’s wedding was one crazy fun party.

Maria and Steve were kind enough to write me a fantastic reference after their wedding.  I feature it on my testimonials page because it so perfectly addresses the important concerns potential clients have. I have such a wonderful time at this reception, I was glad to get know this sweet and wonderful couple.
