Nobody would want their wedding ever to be considered ‘normal’ or ‘typical’, yet it’s so easy to stick with standard wedding traditions, even if those traditions don’t really feel natural to the bride and groom. I always encourage my clients to make new traditions and forget the ones that don’t work for them. Ann Donovan...
Just last week I wrote about what a great luxury it is to have a wonderfully long reception. But what can you do if you have a standard amount of time to celebrate on your big day? Well this weekend I was DJ for the wonderful reception of Nicole Kreyling and Matthew Junker, and these newlyweds made...
People will tell you that your wedding day will go by too quickly. You plan so many details of the big day just to watch it fly by and before you know it, the last song is about to play. Every once in a while, I’m lucky enough to DJ a wedding that has plenty...
While I love all types of music, every once in a while I get to DJ for a couple who’s musical style is exactly what I would choose if I were planning my wedding reception in 2011. I had a great time preparing the music for Heather Mullen and Jesse Evans’ elegant celebration held at...
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.

It’s always a unique experience for me when I get to DJ for people I’ve known for years.

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. Jennifer Bearer and David Yurkovac were surrounded by an amazing group of excited and supportive friends for their Doubletree Hotel reception held in Moon Township, PA....
Everything you read about wedding planning will tell you to plan your wedding details around who you really are and not what you think is ‘typical’. The challenge I think for most people is whether or not they know who they really are. For me, some of the most fun and exciting receptions are those...
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...
