Kiera and Matt (Perlé)

Doing something truly different for your reception can be scary, but the results can be amazing.  Kiera and Matt’s choice to have their celebration at Perlé champagne lounge in Market Square was the perfect choice.  Instead of a traditional sit-down dinner, guests were able to mingle, sit on the couches, and enjoy the wonderful Spring weather.

The vibe at Perlé set a wonderful, relaxing atmosphere for the newlyweds’ friends and family to enjoy.

I loved their custom cake topper which featured Kiera and Matt’s cats!

Kiera and Matt’s guests enjoyed cocktails, food and a great view on the balcony.  When dusk arrived, it was time to get the music going, and no one hesitated to join in the party.  Guests of all ages crowded the dance floor to sing, dance and get crazy.  The happy couple made excellent choices on what would be the perfect match for their wedding reception.  They appear to have made another excellent choice as they prepare to leave for their honeymoon in Ireland!

Devon and Chris (Edgewood Club)

Weddings consist of thousands of details.  Some small ones may go completely unnoticed, while others will be part of the stories told by guests over and over again.  Devon and Chris included some fantastically unique details that I’m sure their friends and family will never forget.  Their reception was held on a perfect Spring day at the Edgewood Club outside of Pittsburgh, PA.

The main hall at the club looked amazing.  The decorations they chose, along with an amazing amount of candles, made for the perfect atmosphere for their celebration.

One of the most memorable details had to be the fantastic wall of table seating cards which featured each of the guests’ faces!  Such a brilliant and original idea!

Of course, the music helped play a wonderful part of the reception as well.  Family and friends wasted no time at all getting up on the dance floor to join in the celebration.  One last detail that Devon and Chris planned, and are currently enjoying, was their well-deserved honeymoon in St. Martin.

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.
