Mallori and Mike (Columbian Room)

Since New Year Eve is best known as a time of celebration, new beginnings, and resolutions, I can’t imagine that there is a more fitting date for a wedding.  It was the perfect occasion for Mallori and Mike’s big day at the Columbian Room in Wexford, PA as their guests joined in to celebrate the newlyweds’ new life together as husband and wife.

The Columbian Room looked amazing for both a beautiful ceremony as well as the best party of the year.  I was so glad I could help by providing uplighting and a customized monogram for the happy couple.

Mallori and Mike’s friends and family had clearly come to party.  The dance floor was the place to be, and as midnight approached no one was left out of the celebration.  The newlyweds started the new year, and their new marriage surrounded by all of their favorite people.  They are now headed off for a well-deserved honeymoon.

Blaire and Colby (Heinz History Center)

Weddings held over the holidays are always extra special.  It gives everyone a reason to pause from the hectic season and enjoy a time of celebration.  Blaire and Colby’s wedding at the Heinz History Center was a wonderfully joyous occasion as their friends and family came to spend some quality time with the newlyweds and wish them well on their new lives together.

The Heinz History Center Great Hall is absolutely one of the most unique and captivating venues in Pittsburgh.  Most of the guests traveled from Louisiana to be part of the big day, so this was an amazing way to show off our amazing city.  They even got to see some snow!

 Blaire and Colby’s wedding featured so many special moments, including live music for their ceremony and cocktails, some very special parent dances, and of course, lots of great times with friends and family.  The music featured a wide variety of music from today, oldies, country and even some cajun selections.  I’m sure their guests all went home with many stories to share about this once in a lifetime celebration of love.

Erin and Ricky (Sheraton Station Square)

How hard are you willing to work to make your wedding day perfect?  The answer is different for everyone, but for those who are able to put in a lot of effort, the results are always amazing.  Erin and Ricky raised the bar incredibly high for their amazing winter wedding reception held at the Sheraton Station Square.   On top of all the other details,  Erin learned two choreographed dances for the big day, one with Ricky and another one with her father.  These dances helped make an already wonderful evening even more memorable.

The Sheraton Ballroom looked fantastic and provided a spectacular view of the Pittsburgh skyline.  Guests all received Terrible Towels which made for an epic entrance!

Perhaps inspired but all the special dances, all of the newlyweds’ guests were ready to jump on the dance floor when the party began.  There was no shortage of singing, dancing and just craziness.  Erin and Ricky’s hard work resulted in the most perfect of celebrations.  The happy couple is now off to Jackson Hole, WY for a well deserved honeymoon.

Lauren and Kyle (Soldiers and Sailors)

While almost everyone likes to have fun, there are people in the world who just ARE fun.  They can’t help but infuse their personalities into everything they do.  I feel fortunate when I get to DJ a wedding for couples like this since it’s guaranteed to be a unique and wonderful evening.  Lauren and Kyle’s wedding reception was an amazing celebration full of great moments and special touches that was a perfect reflection of their style.

The wedding reception was held on a perfect Fall day at the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall and Museum in Oakland.  I’m so glad Lauren and Kyle gave me a chance to provide uplighting and a monogram in the ballroom.

Lauren and Kyle gave their guests a real evening to remember.  Everything from the candy buffet to the Princess Bride themed caked topper made for a fun and relaxed evening.  After a very customized Father-Daughter dance, everyone came to the dance floor and sang, danced, and got a little wild.  The newlyweds made it all seem so easy since nothing seemed forced, instead it all was a natural match for who they are.  The happy (and super fun) couple will soon be headed for more good times on their Hawaiian honeymoon!

Melissa and Matt (White Barn)

One of the keys to ensuring a successful wedding reception is to be sure to include a great variety of music during the celebration.  I encourage couples to take advantage of every moment of their wedding day to feature different types of music from their favorite artists.  Melissa and Matt did an amazing job in choosing music, so all of their guests would be able to be part of the fun all day long.
