Weddings held over the holidays are always extra special.  It gives everyone a reason to pause from the hectic season and enjoy a time of celebration.  Blaire and Colby’s wedding at the Heinz History Center was a wonderfully joyous occasion as their friends and family came to spend some quality time with the newlyweds and wish them...

Erin and Ricky (Sheraton Station Square)

Lauren and Kyle (Soldiers and Sailors)

While almost everyone likes to have fun, there are people in the world who just ARE fun.  They can’t help but infuse their personalities into everything they do.  I feel fortunate when I get to DJ a wedding for couples like this since it’s guaranteed to be a unique and wonderful evening.  Lauren and Kyle’s...

Melissa and Matt (White Barn)

One of the keys to ensuring a successful wedding reception is to be sure to include a great variety of music during the celebration.  I encourage couples to take advantage of every moment of their wedding day to feature different types of music from their favorite artists.  Melissa and Matt did an amazing job in...

It’s important to remember that your wedding day will be a special day for every guest who attends.  People need happy reasons to gather with friends and family to make new memories, and there is nothing like a great reception to make that happen.  Ashley and Kevin gave their loved ones some amazing moments during...

Rachel and Griffin (Sheraton Pittsburgh Airport)

The first dance of the bride and groom is always a special moment during the reception.  I’m always impressed with couples who take the time to choreograph the dance since it adds so much extra work and pressure to the big day.  Rachel and Griffin clearly had spent lots of time learning their dance and...

Julie and Brian (Mayernik Center)

Weddings are fun at any time of year, but there’s something special to me about Fall weddings, when the air is cool and the scenery is so beautiful.  The Mayernik Center at Avonworth Community Park provided a beautiful backdrop for Julie and Brian’s ceremony and reception on one of the most beautiful days of the year....

Nicole and Matt (12 Oaks Mansion)

As a DJ, I tend to talk a lot about the fun and dancing portion of wedding receptions, but many times I’m fortunate enough to be a part of the actual ceremony.  I love being able to provide sound and music for the most important time of couple’s special day.  Nicole and Matt did a fantastic job...

Johnna and Joseph (Sheraton Airport)

Many soon-to-be-married couples spend lots of time figuring out what they will give to those who attend their wedding.  While the favors, hor d’oeuvres and special music selections are all very important, the best gift for your guests is giving them a good reason to come together and be part of a once-in-a-lifetime celebration.  Johnna and Joe’s...

Amie and Benjamin (Heinz History Center)

At the end of Amie and Ben’s reception, there was a discussion about how everyone had all experienced a “unicorn wedding”.  A day that was so perfect, most people would consider it a myth.  It made me wonder how they had succeeded in having such an unbelievably epic wedding day. For starters, Amie and Ben chose to...

Christine and Stephen (Fairmont Pittsburgh)

One big wedding question no one can answer for certain is “How will the reception end?”.  While you can plan for a final song with tons of guests, or just let the music play until the last few friends and family members remain, you never know for sure until the time arrives. Christine and Stephen...
