Celebrating Love, Family, and One Adorable Pup: Amy & Kevin’s Wedding at The Grand Hall

Some weddings are beautiful. Some are fun. And then there are weddings like Amy and Kevin’s—where every moment feels like an unforgettable celebration of love, family, and joy. Held at the stunning Grand Hall at the Priory, their wedding was the kind of event that leaves you smiling long after the last song has played.

For starters, can we talk about the Grand Hall? This venue is simply breathtaking, with its cathedral ceilings, historic charm, and intimate ambiance. Everything about the decor—from the elegant lighting to the tasteful seasonal touches—was a testament to Amy’s incredible attention to detail.

But what truly made the day magical were all the special touches that reflected Amy and Kevin’s personalities and the people they love most. One of the sweetest surprises was the appearance of their fur baby, Reggie. After the ceremony, Reggie made a grand entrance! He was even featured on their wedding cake! Talk about a show-stealing pup.

Amy and Kevin also shared their love with those closest to them in other special ways. During their first dance to “Don’t Fade” by Vance Joy, they invited two couples who were celebrating anniversaries to join them on the dance floor. It was a touching moment that perfectly captured their thoughtfulness and generosity. Later in the evening, they included a sisters’ dance where Amy and Kevin danced with their sisters, encouraging everyone else to grab theirs and join in the dance.

The dance floor saw everything from the throwback swagger of “Return of the Mack” to the high-energy beats of Rihanna’s “We Found Love”. There were singalongs, some serious dance moves, and plenty of laughter.

When the night wound down with Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s “Murder on the Dancefloor” and (of course) N’Sync’s “Bye Bye Bye,” the whole room was buzzing with joy. Watching Amy and Kevin surrounded by their favorite people, you couldn’t help but feel the love that brought them all together.

Amy and Kevin’s wedding was a celebration of all the things that matter most: family, friends, and the memories we make with the people we love. It was an honor to be a part of their big day, and I’m so grateful to have witnessed all the moments that made it so special.

Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, and puppy cuddles for Amy, Kevin, and Reggie!

A True Pittsburgh Celebration: Brittany & Zack’s Wedding at PNC Park

When Brittany and Zack decided to tie the knot, they knew they wanted their wedding to be as fun, unique, and full of Pittsburgh charm as they are. And what better place to celebrate their love than PNC Park’s Left Field Lounge? Nestled in one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, their wedding day perfectly blended holiday warmth with Steel City spirit.

From the moment guests walked into the beautifully decorated space, it was clear this would be a night to remember. With festive Christmas decor setting the scene, the Left Field Lounge felt both grand and cozy. Floor-to-ceiling windows offered breathtaking views of the Pittsburgh skyline, adding an extra touch of magic to the celebration.

Brittany and Zack made sure every detail of their day was meaningful. They even let guests request songs on their RSVPs, which gave the night an incredibly personal feel. They had their first dance to the beautiful song “Sweet Symphony” by Joy Oladokun and Chris Stapleton.

After dinner, the fun really kicked off. Brittany and Zack’s reception wasn’t just a party—it was a true Pittsburgh experience. The iconic Pirate Parrot and one of the Pierogi mascots made a surprise appearance, and let me tell you, they brought it. Not only did they dance and pose for photos with the guests, but the Parrot even stepped in to “help” with DJing duties for a bit. It was hilarious, memorable, and so uniquely Pittsburgh.

The incredible cookie table was another highlight of the night (because, let’s be real, is it even a Pittsburgh wedding without one?). Later, the late-night snack buffet of nachos and soft pretzels kept everyone fueled as they bounced between dancing, visiting, and soaking in the night’s festivities.

Brittany and Zack’s wedding wasn’t just a celebration of their love—it was a celebration of everything they love about Pittsburgh and the people who make it special. From the wonderfully diverse and fun playlist to the many treats and surprises, it was a night that no one will forget anytime soon.

Wishing these two all the happiness in the world as they start this next chapter together. Cheers to Brittany and Zack!

Megan & Rob’s Wedding at The Pennsylvanian: A Winter Wedding to Remember

If there’s one thing Megan and Rob’s wedding at The Pennsylvanian proved, it’s that a truly incredible wedding combines stunning details, heartfelt moments, and a rocking party. From the moment you stepped inside The Pennsylvanian’s grand rotunda, you could feel the magic. This venue was made for jaw-dropping celebrations, and Megan and Rob’s wedding embraced every bit of its elegance and grandeur.

Their ceremony took place in front of a massive Christmas tree, adding a festive touch to the already breathtaking space. With the historic arches and intricate details of the rotunda towering above, it felt like stepping into a scene from a winter fairytale. Megan and Rob exchanged vows surrounded by family and friends, and the warmth of the moment was almost enough to make everyone forget about the chilly December weather outside (almost!).

The Pennsylvanian absolutely shined as the backdrop to this amazing celebration. The grandeur of the space, paired with Megan and Rob’s thoughtful decor, created an atmosphere that was elegant yet inviting. It was the perfect setting for a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

The couple didn’t just stop at a stunning ceremony—they thought of everything to make their wedding unforgettable. Guests enjoyed a Pittsburgh tradition with an epic cookie table that had everyone grabbing a sweet treat (or two). Later in the evening, as guests stepped outside to send off the newlyweds with sparklers, Megan and Rob showed their thoughtfulness once again by providing cozy blankets to keep everyone warm. It was such a simple but meaningful gesture that perfectly matched the season.

One of the absolute highlights of the night was the couple’s first dance. Megan and Rob didn’t just sway back and forth—they performed a beautifully choreographed routine that left everyone in awe. They nailed every move, and the cheers from the crowd were a testament to how much everyone loved it.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper celebration without music, and Megan and Rob knew exactly how to keep the energy high. The dance floor was packed all night long with a mix of classic hits, crowd-pleasing favorites, and a few unexpected gems. Their friends went wild for a song from Hamilton and one from Hilary Duff—talk about a playlist with personality! The grand finale? A mashup of “Sucker” by the Jonas Brothers and “All I Want for Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey. It was the perfect send-off for the couple, with everyone singing and dancing along one last time before heading off to the after-party.

Megan and Rob are now off on a European honeymoon, exploring Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic. If their wedding is any indication, this next adventure will be nothing short of spectacular. Cheers to this amazing couple—thank you for letting me be part of your story!

Cristine & Roy’s Wedding at The Willows: A Celebration of Love, Friendship, and Unforgettable Reunions

When you think about weddings, you often picture beautiful ceremonies, delicious food, and epic dance floors. But there’s another part of weddings that often flies under the radar—those mini-reunions that bring people back together. Cristine and Roy’s wedding at The Willows was the perfect example of how a wedding isn’t just a celebration of love—it’s also an incredible opportunity for friends and family to reconnect.

Set against the crisp, cozy backdrop of late fall in Western Pennsylvania, their wedding was full of heartwarming moments, stylish details, and just the right amount of nostalgia. I had a personal connection to this one, too—I graduated from Blackhawk High School with Cristine, so seeing so many familiar faces from our class made it extra special. It was amazing to watch classmates, friends, and family reunite, laugh, and celebrate together. Those heartfelt hugs, the “Remember when?” moments, and the pure joy of reconnecting added a layer of magic to an already amazing day.

The Willows was a stunning venue choice for Cristine and Roy. Its elegant yet warm atmosphere was the perfect fit for their guests. I provided sound and music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing—and uplighting to make the ballroom glow with a soft, romantic ambiance. From the moment Cristine walked down the aisle to “I Get to Love You” by Ruelle, you could feel the love in the air. The ceremony was intimate and emotional, with Bill Withers’ “Lovely Day” adding the perfect uplifting note.

As guests moved into cocktail hour, the vibe shifted to laid-back sophistication. The music featured jazzy classics and singer-songwriter favorites like Michael Bublé’s “Everything” and Tom Petty’s “Wildflowers.” It was the ideal soundtrack for mingling, catching up, and sharing stories over cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.

During dinner, the playlist leaned into timeless elegance. Songs like “La Vie en Rose” by Michael Bublé and “God Only Knows” by John Legend created a warm, romantic ambiance. Cristine and Roy’s first dance to Roberta Flack’s “The Closer I Get to You” was beautifully personal, and their connection was undeniable.

Cristine and Roy’s wedding was a reminder of what makes these celebrations so special—yes, it’s about the love between the couple, but it’s also about the people who come together to support them. It’s about old friends reconnecting, new friendships forming, and memories that last long after the music fades. And honestly, it’s why I love being a DJ. Every wedding has its own unique energy, and I feel so lucky to be part of moments like this.

Cheers to Cristine and Roy for an incredible wedding and to all the mini-reunions that made it so special!

An Unforgettable Night: Claire & Shane’s MuseumLab Wedding Filled with Love, Gratitude, and Magic Moments

When it comes to celebrating love, Claire and Shane took things to the next level with their incredible fall wedding at the MuseumLab in Pittsburgh. This stylish couple didn’t just focus on the details of their day—they made it a point to embrace everyone involved, from the family and friends who gathered to celebrate, to each vendor who helped make their vision come to life. As their DJ, I couldn’t have felt more appreciated, and their kindness added something truly special to every moment of the night.

From the start, Claire and Shane were a dream to work with. They made all of us vendors feel not just like hired professionals but like part of the family. Their gratitude and warmth extended to the photographer, wedding planner, MuseumLab staff, and me as the DJ, and that energy was contagious. It’s not every day that you find a couple who puts so much thought into making their team feel valued, and it truly set the tone for an unforgettable night.

The MuseumLab itself was the perfect venue for their unique style. With its stunning mix of modern aesthetics and historical charm, the space effortlessly reflected Claire and Shane’s vibe. Their guest list of about 75 close friends and family fit perfectly in the venue’s beautiful industrial space, and the ambiance felt both intimate and grand. I had the honor of providing mics and music for each part of the celebration—ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing—and even set up uplighting to add that extra touch of warmth to the space.

Their playlist was a blend of soulful classics and fun, and modern tunes. It was the perfect mix for a crowd that wanted to celebrate love in style, and every guest—regardless of age—found something to get down to on the dance floor. The vibe stayed light and upbeat, with an energy that kept building as the night went on.

The real magic happened when it was time for the last dance. After an night of dancing with their friends and family, Claire and Shane shared a private last dance to “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” by Frankie Valli. As they swayed together one last time, friends and family gathered at the bottom of the stairway, singing along with full hearts. It was one of those moments that gives you chills—the love in that room was undeniable, and it felt like the perfect way to close out a night filled with joy and gratitude.

Claire and Shane’s wedding at the MuseumLab reminded me why I love doing what I do. With their kindness, appreciation, and focus on bringing people together, they created a wedding day that was as memorable for the vendors as it was for their guests.

Cheers to Claire and Shane for an incredible night, and for showing us all that a wedding day can be filled with love, gratitude, and a touch of magic.

A Party to Remember: Lexie and Josh’s Joyful Celebration at The Frick Pittsburgh

From the beginning, it was clear to me that Lexie and Josh’s goal was to throw an epic celebration filled with love, laughter, and plenty of dancing. After eloping in Colorado a year ago, this was their chance to bring together family and friends at The Frick Pittsburgh, one of the city’s most beautiful, historic venues. With the fall leaves changing and the soft glow of the venue, it was the perfect setting for an unforgettable night.

When it was finally time to hit the dance floor, Lexie and Josh kicked things off with their first dance to Florence + The Machine’s version of “Stand By Me.” It was such a magical moment as they were surrounded by their closest friends and family. As soon as the floor opened, guests of all ages couldn’t wait to join them. The variety of music Lexie and Josh chose really showed their dedication to making sure everyone felt included, from classic Motown hits like “My Girl” by The Temptations to crowd-favorites like “Uptown Funk” and “Blame It On The Boogie.”

Lexie and Josh’s playlist included something for everyone—whether it was the retro vibes of Prince and ABBA or the party anthems of Justin Timberlake and Flo Rida, there was a little bit of magic for each guest.

We closed out the celebration with Jungle’s “Busy Earnin’,” a perfectly upbeat track that left everyone on a high note. As the night wound down, the dance floor was still buzzing with laughter and energy—a true testament to the incredible atmosphere Lexie and Josh had created. Their choice of such a fun, varied playlist had everyone—from the youngest guests to the grandparents—dancing, singing along, and celebrating all night.

This reception was more than just a party; it was a reminder of how music can bring people together, create lasting memories, and make any moment feel magical. Lexie and Josh poured their hearts into planning a celebration that honored their love story, and it was a privilege to help them bring their vision to life.
