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...
I’m so fortunate to be a wedding DJ in the city of Pittsburgh. There are many wonderful locations and an incredibly rich history. Many of my clients share my passion for the city, but never as much as Cathy Aniszewski and Steve Bolar. Last night I had the honor to DJ their stylish interpretation of...
Simple Elegance. Those words mean different things to different people, but there is no denying when you see it. Last evening I witnessed one of the most beautiful displays of simple elegance as the DJ for the reception of Amy Kim and Christopher Pretsch held at J. Verno Studios in Pittsburgh, PA. The ceremony and...
Scheduling the flow of a reception can be a difficult task for most people. The challenge is to make sure that everything runs smoothly and efficiently without feeling rushed. While it’s important to include the events that are special, no one wants to make the guests feel bored or left out. I love to work...
The winter is a nice time for me to focus on the ‘behind the scenes’ portion of my DJ business. Cleaning equipment, filing papers and updating the music database is all well and good, but honestly I really do miss spending my weekends partying at some of the best venues in Pittsburgh. Going through these...
There are so many great Pittsburgh wedding venues to choose from. Your wedding may be the first time your guests are visiting our city. The LeMont is a great way to showcase how beautiful the city is both day and night. I stumbled across these photos from a wedding I performed at in 2007 and...
Looking back at some older weddings is really getting me excited for this upcoming year of wonderful receptions. Later this year I’ll be playing again at the Pittsburgh Athletic Assocation again. I figured it would be good to showcase some images on my site from the last time I performed there. Susan and Aaron had...
I love that I get to play such an important part of people’s special day. I also love the fact that every reception is so unique and special. During my trip down memory lane, I came across these images from Christy Brankley & Dave Schoen’s wedding reception held at the Sheraton Station Square. Held in...
Still going through some old wedding photos and just came across one from 2007! Ann Ficco and Narium Dastur had their wedding at the beautiful Bella Sera by Grecco located in Canonsburg, PA. As you can tell from the images, Bella Sera is a beautiful location that transports everyone to Italy with it’s strong Tuscan...
