I just love when people throw creative flair into the the details that decorate their reception venue. This Saturday at the Hilton Garden Inn, there were many signs of Kerri DiGiovanni’s and Ty Lacock’s knack for creativity. The first thing that caught most people’s attention were the signs that were featured at the bar, the...
Probably the thing I love most about being a wedding DJ is how different every celebration is, based on the preferences of the bride and groom. I love working with people to make sure the music of the day reflects their taste and style. I was fortunate to work with Erica King and John Fisher...

With all the things to coordinate for the wedding day, will you remember to have fun? It’s so easy to get caught up in the stress, but it’s important to take time and relax, be goofy and just embrace the good times. At the reception of Emily Oswald and Matthew Milbert, there was plenty of...

One of the first questions every newly engaged couple is faced with is determining how many guests should they invite to the wedding.

Every time a couple says “I Do”, it’s a unique and fantastic occasion. Everyone wants to create a day that reflects their style and personality.

One thing that can be a bit scary on your big day is allowing friends and family to add some unexpected surprises to help make things even more special. While I’m always careful to check with the bride and groom before I allow anything too crazy to happen, sometimes these moments can create the memories...
In my experience, most brides don’t ask much of their fiance’s, besides just showing up at the church on time. Every once in a while, the groom is tasked with finding and hiring the entertainment. I was excited that this was the case when Tom Verlihay contacted me about his wedding day with Kristen Stern....
Everyone talks about how quickly your wedding day will pass by.
