Sarah and Shaun (Pittsburgh Opera Wedding)

For some couples, wedding day traditions are moments they’ve been looking forward to their entire lives. There are others though, who would rather spend this once-in-a-lifetime occasion in a more relaxed and natural atmosphere. Sarah and Shaun’s wedding was held at the Pittsburgh Opera and was the perfect match for their taste and style.

Pittsburgh Opera Wedding Ceremony

I’m still blown away by the amazing decor of the Pittsburgh Opera, it made the perfect space for a wonderful celebration. The evening began as guests arrived and were treated immediately to cocktails before a fantastically humorous and sweet ceremony. Friends and family moved to the main dining area for food stations, speeches and an amazing dance party!

Instead of worrying about events like a grand entrance, special dances or a cake cutting, Sarah and Shaun spent their time visiting with all of their favorite people throughout the incredible evening. Everyone had a fabulous time dancing to a great variety of songs from yesterday and today and when the night ended, no one was ready to leave. The entire wedding day was one meant for everyone, including the happy couple, to enjoy. I’m sure this is one that no one, including me, will ever forget!

Clairissa and Luke (Laube Hall Wedding Reception)

Wedding receptions can be many things, but most of all, they should be FUN! It’s so easy to get caught up in the stress of the big day, I think it’s great when I see couples let go and just enjoy all the wonderfulness that is going on around them. Clairissa and Luke were the perfect example of this as they were able to spend lots of quality time with their family and friends during their epic celebration at the wonderful Laube Hall in Freeport, PA.

Laube Hall is a fabulous venue with lots of room and a great big dance floor. I was glad I could provide the uplighting and a monogram for Clairissa and Luke, but I don’t think anything topped their awesome cat themed cake topper! Once dinner and the formal dances were complete, everyone was ready for a dance party that included everything from Top 40 to Country to some classic hits.

Clairissa and Luke were sure to enjoy every moment of their wonderful celebration. Every time I would look, they were engaged with their guests, and everyone laughing, singing and dancing all the way until the very last song. After all of the excitement, the happy couple will finally get a chance to slow down as they head off to the Riviera Maya for a well-deserved honeymoon.

Catherine and Eric (Westin Pittsburgh Wedding Reception)

Weddings guests almost always consist of friends and family of different ages, various backgrounds and widely diverse music tastes. Some of the best receptions I’ve been able to DJ for have been the ones that include a great mix of music to ensure that everyone has the time of their lives. Catherine and Eric’s wonderful celebration at the Westin Pittsburgh did just that and it was an epic success.

The Allegheny Ballroom at the Westin was the perfect setting for an evening of fun, visiting and dancing. The music for dinner included lots of great standards from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and more. When the dancing started, guests filled the large dance floor to everything from Motown, the 70’s, all the way to today’s biggest hits.

One of the things I enjoyed most about Catherine and Eric’s celebration was how all of their guests, no matter what the age, joined in the dancing to both the older and the newer songs. At the end of the night, the dance floor was packed for one big last dance. There was lots of hugs and laughter as everyone gave their best wishes to the happy couple as they begin a new chapter in their lives together.

Hannah and Ryan (Hartwood Acres Mansion)

Many people are invited to quite a few weddings over the course of their lifetime, so I think it’s great when a couple chooses to add some unique details to their big day. By making their celebration a little different than the norm, they treat their guests to a wonderful time that they will never forget. Hannah and Ryan’s wedding at the Hartwood Acres Mansion featured lots of fun and memorable details that I’m sure their friends and family will be talking about for years to come.

The ceremony and reception were held outside on one of the most perfect summer days we’ve had in the Pittsburgh area. Guests were then encouraged to mingle and roam the beautiful venue for both cocktails and the strolling dinner. Instead of traditional assigned seating, this allowed guests to move about and enjoy time with friends both old and new. After dinner, everyone gathered in the pavilion for the parent dances (where they broke out their terrible towels) and an epic dance party with music from both yesterday and today.

Hannah and Ryan put together a fabulous celebration that took full advantage of the wonderful spaces at Hartwood Acres Mansion. Guests of all ages spent their time visiting, dancing and singing all the way to the very last song. Everyone then piled onto the shuttle to go spend more time with the newlyweds at the after party. I’m positive all of Hannah and Ryan’s friends and family will be telling everyone they know about this awesome couple and their fabulous celebration.

Mary and Lenny (Carnegie Museum Wedding)

When I meet with couples to plan their wedding, we typically talk about the dancing portion of the night to determine if they’re going to be spending much time dancing with their friends and family. Wedding guests want to be with the bride and groom, so there’s nothing better for a DJ than a couple who is ready to celebrate. Mary and Lenny were so much fun and made their dance floor at the Carnegie Music Hall Foyer the only place to be during their wonderful wedding reception.

Their wedding ceremony was held in the beautiful and elegant Hall of Architecture before guests made their way to the stunning Music Hall. The Carnegie was an excellent choice for a day that was elegant, romantic and super fun for everyone. The big dance floor was the perfect location for everyone to join in a fabulous Hora!

Mary and Lenny were sure to spend some quality time visiting with their guests before we got the celebration started… I loved how they encouraged everyone to join them on the dance floor for music that included a great variety of songs. At the end of the night, the newlyweds took a moment to thank their guests for being part of their big day. It was a wonderful and personal touch, and I can’t think of a better way to have ended such a wonderful occasion.

Bree and Paul (Fox Chapel Golf Club Wedding Reception)

Some couples just know their wedding will be a great dance party. Bree and Paul were 100% confident that their friends and family were going to be ready to jump on the dance floor and enjoy every moment of the fun, and they were absolutely right! Their elegant and wild celebration was held on a perfect summer day at the gorgeous Fox Chapel Golf Club in Fox Chapel, PA.

The Golf Club is a beautiful and unique venue with lots of different spaces for guests to enjoy. Bree and Paul chose fabulous decorations and even had me provide uplighting and a monogram in the main ballroom. It was the perfect space when everyone gathered together after dinner for the party to begin.

Bree and Paul knew their guests would have a great time and didn’t worry about the music at all. They allowed me to determine what was working best for everyone and the result was a great party where guests of all ages were able to be a part of the fun. All of the newlyweds’ friends and family gathered on the dance floor for one last song and to give a couple a great send off as they start this new chapter in their lives together.
