Azia and Kirill (MuseumLab Wedding)

Most wedding planning begins with the search to find the perfect venue. Pittsburgh offers so many amazing choices, it can be hard to find one that matches your style and needs for the big day. Azia and Kirill made an amazing choice for their wedding, held at the fabulous and unique MuseumLab, which is part of the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh.

The MuseumLab offers a number of fantastic spaces, including the first floor where Azia and Kirill chose to have have their wedding ceremony. Afterwards guests made their way to the 2nd & 3rd floor areas for dinner and an amazing dance party!

I had so much fun getting to meet and work with this fun couple! It was most important to them that their friends and family would be able to gather and have an unforgettable evening, it that’s exactly how it was! Everyone danced and sang all through the night and it was clear no one was ready for it to end. Azia and Kirill made wonderful choices throughout their planning process and the hard work really paid off in a perfect wedding day. Congratulations to the newlyweds!

2022 might be the best year of weddings ever! Guests are more excited than every to FINALLY get together with friends and family. Add in having the opportunity to celebrate the love of the bride and groom, and you’ve got the recipe for a perfect day. The feeling of happiness and pure joy at Paige and Josh’s wedding was contagious. Guests had come from all literally all over the globe to be with this wonderful couple.

Paige and Josh took full advantage of the amazing space at The Pennsylvanian for both their wedding ceremony and reception. Guests enjoyed a fabulous evening of visiting and dining before crowding the dance floor for an epic dance party featuring tons of great music from yesterday and today.

I’m so fortunate to get to play a part in helloing newlyweds create an evening that is a reflection of their style. Watching Paige and Josh’s energy as they spent time with their favorite people and dancing ALL NIGHT made me wish the night would never end. Towards the end of the evening, guests surrounded the couple for a dollar dance before partying hard to the last few songs. The happy couple is now off on a very well-deserved honeymoon in the Maldives!

Stephanie and Eric (Sheraton Station Square Wedding Reception)

Planning the perfect wedding requires a lot of cooperation from everyone you know. The best weddings I’ve been lucky enough to DJ are the ones where the couple gets input and assistance from those closest to them. Stephanie and Eric’s fabulous wedding day incorporated special touches and moments from friends and family and made their reception truly one-of-a-kind!

Their ceremony and reception were held at the marvelous Sheraton Hotel at Station Square, where Stephanie wore a custom dress made by her mother! Later in the evening, guests were treated to a fabulous cookie table with tons of cookies made by Stephanie’s sister (who’s wedding I DJ’ed way back in 2014!).

After dinner there was an amazing dance party, and guests made some fabulous and unique song requests that kept the celebration going strong all night long. I have to add a big shout out to Eric’s 11 year-old nephew, Mario, who served as my fantastic DJ assistant and even help me pack up at the end of the night!

The evening included so many memorable moments (including Eric’s spectacular coat change from his morning to evening attire). It was sad when the party came to and end, but not without an unforgettable ending song where guests gathered and sang along with the newlyweds. Stephanie and Eric threw the most amazing party that was a perfect match for their style and for their fun and super friendly guests. It was a night I’m sure no one will soon forget!

Caitlin and Mark (Carnegie Museum Wedding Reception)

So much happens during your wedding day, it’s important to try and slow down and really cherish every moment. Some couples get caught up in worrying about what’s next, they miss the opportunity to enjoy what’s happening around them. Caitlin and Mark did a fabulous job at staying in the moment at their beautiful and elegant wedding reception held at the stunning Music Hall Foyer at the Carnegie Museum

The Museum has always been one of my favorite venues in all of Pittsburgh. The gorgeous space was made even more specular with Caitlin and Marks’ beautiful decor. Each table featured wonderful photos of the newlyweds through each year of their lives.

Guests were excited to be part of the celebration as they joined on the dance floor with the newlyweds for a fabulous dance party!

I was so glad to see Caitlin and Mark take full advantage of the time they had at their reception. They were able to spend time with all of their favorite people while enjoying a great time dancing to some of their favorite songs. The happy couple is soon headed off to a very well-deserved honeymoon in Granada.

Erin and Jared (Pittsburgh Marriott North Wedding Reception)

2021 has been a wonderful year for wedding celebrations. Family and friends have been so excited for the opportunity to get together and be part of a fabulous once-in-a-lifetime event. Erin and Jared’s wedding at the Pittsburgh Marriott North was my last wedding to DJ this year and I can’t imagine a more perfect way to end such a perfect year of celebrating love and happiness.

As guests arrived, they were greeted by an amazing wall of table card/favor ornaments placed under an adorable sign acknowledging them as the newlyweds’ “Favorite People”. Watching Erin and Jared spend time with their guests, it was obvious how wonderful it was for them to spend this special day surrounded by those they love most.

Erin and Jared prepared a fantastic list of song requests for me to use throughout their celebration. When it was time to dance, their song choices could not have been a more perfect match for their friends and family to enjoy!

It was so much fun seeing everyone having the time of their lives celebrating with the newlyweds. The end of the evening came entirely too quickly as all of their guests cheered for the happy couple. Erin and Jared gave everyone the perfect party not only to kick off the holiday season but to end 2021 on a fabulous high note. The happy couple is going to enjoy Christmas and New Year’s with family before enjoying a very well-deserved honeymoon together.

Victoria and Cody (Carnegie Museum Music Hall Foyer Wedding Reception)

Every couple who gets married in December is faced with the choice of whether or not they should acknowledge the holiday or not. Victoria and Cody made a fabulous decision to embrace the spirit of Christmas for their gorgeous and fun wedding reception held at the stunning Carnegie Museum Music Hall Foyer.

If you’ve read this blog, you’ll know how much I adore Djing at the museum. The Music Hall Foyer looked amazing and the choices of flowers and decor was perfect. I can’t even begin to say how much I loved the fabulous Christmas present cake Victoria had chosen for the big day.

Everyone came ready to celebrate! There was plenty of wonderful music (including a few Christmas songs) for all of the newlyweds friends and family to enjoy.

It was so much fun to watch Victoria and Cody’s friends gather around to show their love and support. Including a splash of Christmas into their celebration was the best choice since their wedding day truly was one of love, family and making amazing memories that will last a lifetime.
