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...
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. At the reception of Meghan McHenry and John (Gray) Cole, the guests came to the Pittsburgh...
I encourage all of my clients to find clever ways to utilize my presence on their big day. I love being a wedding DJ, and thoroughly enjoy helping to create special moments for the newlyweds and their guests. This past weekend I was asked to provide some unique and fun contributions for the wedding of...
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...
