Madison & Jay (Fairmont Hotel Wedding DJ)

I think every couple wants to treat their guests to a wedding day that is completely unforgettable.  Family and friends should leave the celebration slightly disappointed since they could have stayed and danced until dawn.  Madison and Jay gave their guests the party of lifetime at their elegant reception at the Fairmont Pittsburgh. Lots of couples feel...

Surprises on your wedding day can go either way.  Some couples love the idea, while others want to avoid any type of unplanned event happening during their big day.  Samantha and Greg planned a little surprise of their own, which turned out perfectly, for their wonderful celebration held at Anchor Village in Shippenville, PA.

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...

Brett Alaina and John (Phipps Conservatory Wedding DJ)

I tell each couple that I work with that planning your wedding reception should be fun.  There’s plenty of work to do when choosing details for your big day, but when it comes time to think about the music and good times you’ll have at the reception, you should try to enjoy the process.  Brett Alaina...

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.
