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...
What do you get when you combine a large Italian family with an even larger Greek family? The answer is obviously going to be one of the largest, most exciting, and unforgettable wedding receptions EVER! Stephanie and Stephen combined traditions with a contemporary style to create a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. As guests made their way into...
From the moment I met Kira and Ryan, I knew their reception would be something special. Their chemistry and love for life was immediately evident and I was thrilled when they chose me to be their DJ. Since they both work as musicians, I knew we would have great fun working together on the perfect...
One of the most touching moments during your reception can happen during the toasts. While some toasts are comical and/or embarrassing, I love seeing when people use the time to share special thoughts or feelings with the newlyweds. Kate and Steve’s wedding at the Mayernik Center featured 2 special toasts which no one will forget....
I believe most people anxiously wait for real moments in life to get excited and be a little crazy. Kelli and Eric’s friends and family were absolutely ready when they gathered at the Westin Convention Center Ballroom for a huge celebration like no other. The large ballroom was the perfect location for the couple’s reception,...
I find it inspiring when a couple is brave enough to truly customize their wedding to create an experience like nothing else. Emily and Ryan were completely fearless when planning their special day held entirely at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh. Part of what made their celebration unique was avoiding many traditional elements (no bridal...
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....
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....
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...
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...
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...
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...
