What a perfect way to start a new year! Last evening I had the amazing opportunity to DJ at the wedding of Jena Brook and Matthew Hutchison, held in the Grand Hall at the Priory. Jena and Matt are both Captains in the military. Jena is recently back from a tour of Iraq while her...
It’s always hard for me when I reach the last wedding of the year. While I’m sure a break in the action is good for me, I love going out each weekend to DJ such amazing events. I’m thrilled to have had a wonderful and intimate reception as the way to end a perfect year. ...
Most people have an idea what they want for their wedding, but it can be difficult to have every detail work according to plan. I encourage all of my guests to have the confidence to have things their way, and I love when people are able to create a reception that celebrates the uniqueness of...
Weddings usually offer newlyweds a chance for some self-reflection. In order to have a day that truly reflects who you are as a couple, you have to evaluate everything. Since I prefer to work with my clients to create a day that is wonderfully unique, it’s great to work with couples who know and love...
Of all the places I’ve been, no place is more diverse than the areas in and around Pittsburgh. All you need to do is travel 25 miles in any direction and suddenly you’ll find yourself in a unique neighborhood with it’s own culture, traditions and musical tastes. While everyone still has their “Pittsburgh-ness” about them,...
Let’s talk about the excitement of the wedding celebration. One of my favorite experiences is when the friends and family of a newly married couple arrive at the reception full of energy and jubilation to get the party started.

Have it your way. I feel that slogan is much more appropriate when planning your wedding instead of getting lunch through the drive thru. There are so many decisions when planning your big day, but the most important decision you can make is to choose to make things exactly how you’ve always dreamed. Yesterday I...
Every wedding is unique. It’s the one time in a couple’s life that this group of people will gather together to celebrate their love for each other. Sometimes things can be even more customized when couples incorporate various family and cultural traditions. This past weekend I was DJ for a wonderful and very unique celebration...
Weddings are complicated! There are so many details to plan and decisions to make. Seems like lately a lot of people have found a way to make to make their day a little simpler by having their ceremony and reception at the same venue. This makes things not only easier for the couple, but also...
How can you have the right attitude for your wedding? So much emotion, so much planning, so much of everything – is there any possible way to keep focus on what really matters? Those who are able to find the peace of mind to remember this on their big day are the ones who seem...
I just love this time of year! With the weather in Pittsburgh, there’s always a risk of planning an outdoor wedding ceremony, but it’s great to see it turn out perfectly. Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous for the wedding of Lindsay Orchoswki and Shannon Scott held at Camp Kon-A-Kwee in Zelienople, PA. While not traditionally a...
