A 6 hour wedding reception typically includes around 115 songs. From cocktails until the last song, a couple must choose how to spend their time to have the day of their dreams. Lucky for me, Laura and Brad wanted lots of time for dancing and visiting with their guests at their fantastic celebration at The Rivers...

Jessica and Phil had the perfect wedding reception at the Valley Brook Country Club in McMurray, PA. It wasn’t perfect because the weather was amazing (which it was).

Amy and Doug’s wedding at The White Barn in Prospect, PA gave me a chance to really think about the power of words.

I tell everyone I work with that time has no meaning on a wedding day. It’s impossible to know how much time you may need to have the day of your dreams. Natalie and Denny’s planned their reception at the Pittsburgh Airport Marriott in Moon Township to use all of their time perfectly to create...
Wedding guest lists always contain a great variety of types of people.
