Megen and Keith (Pittsburgh Athletic Association)

When your wedding is over, how will your guests describe it?  I’m sure  Megen and Keith’s family and friends will be using words like elegant, romantic, fun, and completely unforgettable. Their celebration was held at the Pittsburgh Athletic Association in Oakland, which was decorated beautifully.  My favorite touch was how each table featured a romantic quote from the couple’s favorite movies....

Shannon and Ron (Southpointe Golf Club)

Nothing makes me as excited as a couple who knows and loves music.  Add to that the fact that they equally love movies, and I can’t imagine a more epic wedding reception.  Shannon and Ron incorporated a ton of fun and elegant details into their special day at the Southpointe Golf Club in Cannonsburg, PA....

Katie and Josh (Power Center Ballroom DJ)

I’ve talked a lot about timing for receptions here on my website, since I believe the decisions you make regarding the times of your ceremony and reception will effect how each part of your day plays out.  Katie and Josh held their reception on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, and had their reception begin immediately following...

Monica and Josh (Pittsburgh Airport Marriott DJ)

Some friends and family members should not be trusted to participate in your wedding day.  The last thing anyone wants is crazy Uncle John going out and getting his mix tape out of the truck to play during your first dance.  That said, if you’re lucky enough to have loved ones that are trustworthy, they...

Dana and James (Carnegie Museum Wedding DJ)

One of my favorite things about weddings today is how couples are ready to incude only the the music and events that meet their style and tastes.  Dana and James planned  a day at the Carnegie Museum in Oakland, which began with great elegance in the Hall of Architecture and ended with an epic modern...

Alaina and Nick (Lingrow Farm Wedding DJ)

While I believe almost everyone loves music of some kind, it’s great for me to work with couples who are truly passionate about the songs they want to include at their reception.  This weekend I was the DJ for Alaina and Nick’s amazing wedding at Lingrow Farm in Saxonburg, PA Alaina and Nick picked a...

Kristen and Mikkel (Westin Convention Center DJ)

Some couples just know.  They know what they want, and they know what will work.  I LOVE working with couples like this.  I’m certainly always happy to lend my expertise to help make decisions, but when it comes down to it, the bride and groom are the ones who know best what is going to...

Jessica and Jeffrey (Lingrow Farm Wedding DJ)

Years ago I made the decision to DJ exclusively for weddings.  I spent years DJing in nightclubs, class reunions, christmas parties, etc, but I came to realize that my true passion was to play a part in celebrations which would be unique each and every time.  Jessica and Jeffrey held their reception at Lingrow Farm...

Tessa and Brian (Pittsburgh Airport Marriott)

It’s become cliche to talk about how quickly time seems to pass by on the wedding day.  While I’m certain clocks continue to click at their normal speed, couples do have to choose how to spend the day wisely.  Tessa and Brian created one of the most original and brilliant evenings I’ve ever been a...

Joelle and Jamie (Grand Hall at the Priory)

One of my favorite parts of every wedding is getting to meet the couple and their families.  It’s fun to see how family members join in to help make the day perfect.  Joelle and Jamie were sure to include special elements at their reception that would be memorable for everyone. Pittsburgh’s Grand Hall at the...

Melina and Tony (Bigelow Conference Center)

I love working with couples who want to create a specific atmosphere for their wedding reception.  Melina and Tony planned their reception at the Bigelow Conference Center, and was an experience which allowed their guests to enjoy a great day of celebrating. The day was filled with great personal touches, such as a pianist for cocktails, a...

Katie and Patrick (Four Points Sheraton Reception)

A wedding reception can be the time when you can truly let loose.  All the hard work and planning have paid off, and it’s finally time to enjoy yourself completely with friends and family.  It was a pleasure for me to watch Katie and Patrick get a little crazy during their fantastic reception at the...
