Kate and Chris (Carnegie Museum)

I frequently have the opportunity to DJ weddings for people who have grown up in Pittsburgh and had to move away for school, jobs or other reasons.  Kate and Chris came back to the city for their big celebration at the Carnegie Museum in Oakland.

The Music Hall Foyer looked stunning as the newlyweds had their first dance.  I can’t think of a better venue to treat out-of-town guests to the best of Pittsburgh.

Kate and Chris had invited lots of friends and family to be part of their special day.  They were so excited to be with the happy couple, that once it was time to dance everyone crowded the floor and got crazy.  There wasn’t a dull moment all evening as the guests danced and sang to every single song that played.  The newlyweds now get to visit more destinations before heading back home.  They are headed to Thailand and Vietnam for a once in a life time honeymoon!

K’rin and Victor (Scottish Rite Cathedral)

When it comes to wedding reception decorations , I’m all about the little touches that help make everything feel so personal and unique.  K’rin and Victor included some fantastic elements which perfectly matched their style.  Their wedding and celebration were held at the Scottish Rite Cathedral in New Castle, PA.

Their ceremony was held in the lobby of the Cathedral and the light coming through the big windows was stunning.

Of all their customized details, my favorite would be their one of a kind cake topper.  K’rin and Vic also had me create a custom, winter themed monogram for the dance floor, which turned out great!

K’rin and Vic were so fun to work with.  They had a super-relaxed attitude about their big day, and focused on the chance to enjoy every moment.  They chose great music to include throughout the night, but also let anyone request the songs they’d like to hear.  They had a wonderful day that allowed them to create lasting memories with their friends and family.

Maggie and Kevin (Heinz History Center Wedding DJ)

The success of your wedding celebration depends greatly on your guests.  If they feel happy and comfortable, they will stay and enjoy every moment of your big day from beginning to end.  Maggie and Kevin did a fantastic job giving their guests all they needed to completely let loose and have the time of their lives at their elegant reception at the Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh, PA.

The ballroom at the History Center has never looked better as it was decked out in uplighting, candle lighting, and a gorgeous wall of rope lights.

Maggie and Kevin’s guest were treated to a full day of great food, a wonderful atmosphere and some fantastic music.  When it was time to dance, everyone was up and ready to get a little wild on the dance floor.  At the end of the night many of their friends and family were ready to join the newlyweds for the after-party.  Maggie and Kevin are now preparing for a well-deserved, romantic honeymoon in Aruba.

Madison & Jay (Fairmont Hotel Wedding DJ)

I think every couple wants to treat their guests to a wedding day that is completely unforgettable.  Family and friends should leave the celebration slightly disappointed since they could have stayed and danced until dawn.  Madison and Jay gave their guests the party of lifetime at their elegant reception at the Fairmont Pittsburgh.

Lots of couples feel that their friends and family love to dance and party, but Madison and Jay’s guests filled the large Fairmont dance floor immediately and kept the energy going strong all night long.

I love it when guests share the excitement with the newlyweds and help make the perfect celebration.  Madison and Jay’s wedding day was certainly one that no one will forget.  The happy couple is soon off to Aruba to unwind after their epic wedding day.

Kathryn and Andrew (Doubletree by Hilton Wedding DJ)

Every couple has to decide what part their families will play in the preparation of their wedding day.  Some couples work hard to keep their closest family members as far away as possible from influencing their plans.  Katy and Andrew chose instead to have their parents play a major role in their beautiful and elegant reception held at the Doubletree by Hilton in Washington, PA.

The ballroom at the Doubletree looked spectacular, and was filled with customized Fall weddingdetails, which added to the warm and friendly tone of the reception.

Katy and Andrew, along with their families, provided excellent music choices, which contained enough variety to please all of their guests.  Their friends and family were quick to join them on the dance floor and join in the celebration of the newlyweds and their new life together.  The happy couple is now off to Florida’s most family friendly honeymoon spots for some well-deserved time together in Disney World and Universal Studios.
