Hillary and Dave (Heinz History Center Wedding Reception)

I find all the music I play during a wedding reception to be equally important.  While many people focus solely on the dance music, the songs that will play during cocktails and dinner help set a tone for the entire celebration.  Every once in a while, I get to work with a couple who is...

Lindsey and Mike (Hotel Monaco Wedding)
