Catherine and Aaron (Slippery Rock University Wedding)

Jill and Dan (Fairmont Hotel Wedding DJ)

I talk a lot on this blog about how great it is when a couple knows what they want to make their wedding day special.  For some, it’s fantastic food, or a great venue.  For others, it’s the perfect mix of music, or the right style of lighting.  Somehow Jill and Dan were able to nail...

Mallorie and Jordan (University Club Wedding DJ)

How you choose to enter your reception can help set the tone for rest of the evening. The grand entrance can establish whether the celebration will be more formal, sweet, or just silly.

Lisa and Joseph (Carnegie Museum Wedding DJ)

Almost anyone you meet would tell you that they love music, but only a select few people are truly passionate about a wide variety of songs and artists.  Even fewer still know how to craft a great playlist to create their ideal wedding celebration.  Lisa and Joe’s passion and knowledge of music allowed them to choose the...

Jackie and Jeff (Omni William Penn Wedding DJ)

Weddings are serious business, but the couples who don’t take themselves too seriously are the ones who have the best time on their special day.  From the moment I met Jackie and Jeff,  I knew I wanted to be a part of their fun-filled wedding celebration.  Their ceremony and reception were both held in the Urban...
