The best thing about my job is that I get to meet some of the nicest people in Pittsburgh, and help them plan one of the biggest days of their lives. I love working with people who have a passion for music and other special details that will help make their wedding day stand out...
Every once in a while, I have the opportunity to DJ for a couple who is having their reception some place a little more private than a local hotel, golf club or museum. There is something incredibly special about inviting your friends and family to your family home that just can’t be duplicated anywhere...
Successful weddings are all about family. When you get engaged, it’s family that steps in to help plan and execute everything that will make the day perfect. As two separate families become one, it gives everyone a fantastic reason to celebrate. Carmen and Casey’s wedding reception was one neither of their families will ever forget....
I’ll admit, I get excited when couples find incredibly special ideas to include as part of their wedding day. I also love the people who choose to make the day their own instead of sticking to traditions that don’t match their style. Kaitlyn and Andrew included lots of custom details and their entire celebration was...
I’ve been blogging a lot this year about the planning of the wedding day schedule. Every couple has to decide if they’ll spend more time visiting, taking photos, etc. Sometimes, I get to work with a couple like Caitlin and Mark, who planned their day so there would be LOTS of time for dancing and...
Of all the decisions a couple has to make when planning their wedding day, I believe one of the most challenging has to be planning a schedule that allows them to spend quality time with their friends and family when there’s so many things they’re supposed to do. Alisia and Jon prepared for a day...
One of the most fun things about being a wedding DJ is the wonderfully diverse music I get to play each weekend. Maddie and Randy’s wedding was extra special since their playlist included music from pretty much every genre imaginable. Their epic celebration was held at the gorgeous Carnegie Museum Music Hall Foyer. The museum...
Some people assume that I prefer to DJ only weddings with a large crowd, but I find there is something truly special about weddings that are slightly more intimate. Receptions with less than 100 guests can be just as amazing (if not more) than those with hundreds. Elyse and Ed held their wonderful and elegant...
One of the fun parts of being a wedding DJ is watching as the friends of the newlyweds come together to join the celebration. Friends from grade school through college play such a big part of the big day. I love the energy that’s created when they gather to party and celebrate with the happy...
One of the biggest concerns most couples seem to have when hiring a DJ is that things might need to get cheesy in order to please the wide variety of guests that are invited to the wedding. Molly and David proved that not only could the music be incredibly cool, but that all ages of...
Weddings are serious business with lots of important mature decisions to make…but if you do it right, they can also include huge amounts of silliness and fun. Stephanie and Mike clearly had a wonderful time working on details for their big day, held at the beautiful Pittsburgh Botanic Garden in Oakdale, PA. This was the...
While every wedding is full of people that are very happy for the newlyweds, occasionally I get to DJ a wedding where the guests are so over-the-top excited the energy uncontainable. Alyssa and Tom held their wonderful wedding reception at the Syria Shiners Center in Chadwick, PA, and it was a celebration to be remembered...
