Stephanie and Jean-Pierre (Sheraton Station Square)

Most people look forward to seeing their friends and family get a little silly and crazy during their wedding reception.  One way to set the mood for a great celebration is to be willing to get a little wild yourself.  Stephanie and Jean-Pierre certainly understood how to create the perfect mood for their incredible party...

Jessica and Erik (Bella Sera Wedding)

Most people would agree that it’s important to have a variety of music throughout the wedding day.  Jessica and Erik did a fantastic job of including many different styles and genres of music for their beautiful ceremony and reception at Bella Sera in Canonsburg, PA. I was fortunate enough to DJ Erik’s sister’s wedding a...

Sherri and Michael (Pittsburgh Marriott North)

If you look over the various wedding playlists I post online, you’ll notice that the dancing portion of the evening makes up only 1/3 of the songs played at each reception.  Cocktail hour and dinner is valuable time where you can include fantastic music which may not be appropriate for later in the night.  Sherri...

Kelly and Nate (Longue Vue Club)

I love to see how people can use songs to make the biggest day of their lives like no other.  Kelly and Nate put great effort into choosing the soundtrack for their special day at the Long Vue Club in Penn Hills, PA. The outdoor space  at the Longue Vue Club was the perfect venue...

Jennifer and Jeremy (Southpointe Golf Club)

The music and style you choose for your grand entrance into the reception can help set the tone for the entire evening.  Soft and sophisticated, crazy and wild, or just fun and loud music will let your guests know exactly what your plans for the celebration will be.  Jennifer and Jeremy took the time to...

Angela and Jason (Montour Heights Country Club)

No matter how diverse a bride and groom’s styles may be, the combination of the two can make their wedding day wonderfully special and unique.  Angela and Jason combined tastes of Persia, England, and Pittsburgh for their big day at the Montour Heights Country Club in Moon Township, PA. The reception was held on the...

Mindy and John (Succop Conservancy)

I recently met a DJ who told me he didn’t like the idea of DJ’ing only weddings, since they’re all the same.  This made me laugh, because I’m fortunate to work with amazing couples who are passionate enough to take the time to make their day, and their music, completely unique.  This past weekend I...
