Katie and Ryan (Succop Nature Park Wedding)

Most couples will probably never know how special their wedding day will be to everyone involved.  Wedding guests are given a wonderful opportunity to put their “normal” lives on hold for a while, and take time to share in the excitement, joy and love of a once-in-a-lifetime event.  Katie and Ryan treated their friends and...

Erin and Jason (Soldiers and Sailors Wedding Reception)

It’s important to choose music for your reception that will be special for yourself as well as your guests.  For some couples, this can mean just a few fun dancing songs that their friends and family will enjoy.  For Erin  & Jason, this meant a great variety of unique choices that helped create amazing memories...

Cassidy and Mick (The Vineyards at Pine Lake Wedding)

Every couple has their own vision as to what will make their wedding day absolutely perfect.  From the moment I met with Cassidy and Mick, it was clear that the most important thing for both of them was that their big day would be one where all of their friends and family would have the...

Nicole and Justin (Pittsburgh Renaissance Hotel Reception)

Wedding planning is a ton of work.  For some people, hiring a planner to help plan out all the details is a great option to keep from getting overwhelmed.  Nicole and Justin, on the other hand, had no problem at all putting together the perfect wedding reception for their epic celebration at the Pittsburgh Renaissance...

Alison and Matt (Pittsburgh Airport Marriott Wedding Reception)

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how important all the tiny wedding details matter when putting together a celebration that is truly once in a lifetime.  Alison and Matt really understood how all the little decisions and decorations would help make their reception absolutely perfect. The reception was held at the wonderful Pittsburgh Airport...

Sarah and Shane (Grand Concourse Wedding Reception)

The best advice I can give to anyone for their wedding is to be sure to include unique and special details throughout the day that will make you happy.  These are the moments/events/decor that will stand out most to your friends and family.  Sarah and Shane’s ceremony and celebration was jam packed with one-of-a-kind elements...

Katie and Joe (White Barn Wedding)

Most wedding couples enjoy a wide variety of music, but not every style is the type that always fills the dance floor.  I love working with couples that incorporate lots of their favorite songs throughout the day in order to make their celebration even more special.  Katie and Joe love lots of different music and...

Bridget and Ryan (Slippery Rock University Wedding Reception)

Being a DJ, it’s always fun for me to work with couples who love all sorts of music.  It’s always great when newlyweds provide me with a list of special songs that are unique to their tastes so I can use that to make their day extra perfect.  Bridget and Ryan spent some serious time...

Kim and Matthew (Omni Bedford Springs Resort Wedding Reception)

Kim and Matt love Disney!  They were engaged at Disneyland and considered having their wedding & reception right there in the park.  They instead chose to hold their big day at the amazingly beautiful Bedford Springs Resort right here in Western Pennsylvania, but that didn’t keep them from creating a truly magical day for themselves...

Lauren and PJ (University Club Wedding Reception)

Weddings tend to also double as reunions for all the guests who gather together to celebrate with the newlyweds.  Friends and family travel from all over, and for many, it’s a chance to reconnect with people they haven’t seen for many years.  Lauren and PJ’s reception was full of love and laughter as everyone enjoyed...

Stefanie and David (Veltres Event Center Wedding)

When people find out that I’m a wedding DJ, one of the first questions tends to be “Did you DJ your own reception?”.  To make a long story short, yes, I did… but it’s certainly not something I’d recommend.  When you work as a DJ, finding someone else to play such an important part of...

Erin and Michael (Pittsburgh Botanic Garden Wedding)

Long ago I realized that letting couples choose all the music for their wedding would give their day a unique vibe that matches their style perfectly.  Sometimes this means couples will give me a list of hundreds of songs to choose from, other times newlyweds will provide me with only a few genres or selections....
