There’s a delicate balance when trying to hold a reception that appeals to everyone while making sure that everything still reflects the bride and groom. Laura Cox and Sean Ruzicka figured out the perfect blend at their Washington, PA celebration the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel. The DoubleTree is a wonderful venue with friendly and efficient...
The hardest part of wedding planning is figuring out what to focus on. The key is to determine what is most important to you and put your time and energy into those details. Josie Powell and John O’Shea did an excellent job putting together a day that met their style and tastes. Their reception was...
It’s always a unique experience for me when I get to DJ for people I’ve known for years. It’s completely different than playing for people who I only get to know during the planning of the wedding reception. I had the amazing opportunity to play the reception of two wonderful people I’ve known for a...
Details, details, details. Every engaged couple tries to figure out how to make their wedding stand out without getting carried away. This past Friday I was thoroughly impressed with Sarah Mastalski and Tim Stewart, as they used details in a fun and modern way at their reception at the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall in...
Every wedding is a celebration, but it really becomes something extraordinary when friends and family are willing to do all they can to make the day one to remember.

It’s always great when couples are able to put away the stress and worry of the little details of planning their big day. Instead, they put their attention on how special it is to be surrounded by their favorite people while celebrating their new lives together. Alex Yeager and Kirk Konert were the perfect example...
One of the coolest parts of my job is that I get to meet with each couple a few weeks before the wedding. I love this time when plans are coming together and the soon-to-be newlyweds are full of the anticipation of seeing their big day finally happen. While these meetings are always a good...
Like most DJs, I don’t get to see many wedding ceremonies. Most of the time I only get to be part of the big day after the biggest moment has already happened. I love when I get the chance to witness, and even play a part of, the wedding ceremony. I was given the pleasure...
I always find myself talking with people about how much I love my job. The day I get to DJ a wedding doesn’t seem like something I have to do as much as something I get to do. After tons of preparation and planning, I look forward to watching all the hard work pay off. ...
When I consider all of the changes I’ve seen at weddings since becoming a DJ, one of the biggest is people’s opinions regarding line dances. It used to be that almost every reception began with a series of line dances to warm up the crowd, but now people tend to look for different ways to...
One of the things I love about my job is that I get to work with a wide variety of terrific clients, each with their own unique take on putting together their dream wedding. I love people who get involved with me in making the music truly reflect who they are. This weekend I was...
