Ashlie and Elmo (Doubletree by Hilton Wedding)

Putting the details into the decor at your venue can be intimidating.  There are so many options to choose from to transform a ballroom into the perfect location for your once in a lifetime celebration.  Ashlie and Elmo created a gorgeous and elegant atmosphere for their reception at the Doubletree at the Meadow Lands.

Everything from the table settings, decorations and lighting were beautiful in the large ballroom at the Doubletree.  I was happy I could help by providing uplighting and a monogram.

Ashlie and Elmo started off their evening with a wonderfully choreographed dance to Luke Bryan’s “Drunk On You”.  I love when couples take on the challenge to do something special like this for their first dance.

The wedding guests enjoyed a great selection of music throughout the wonderful day of celebrating.  When it was time to dance, guests were treated to a wide variety of music that included everything from the 50’s to today’s biggest hits.  Elmo and Ashlie’s friends and family were thrilled to get out and party with the newlyweds.  The happy couple is now headed off to St. Lucia for a well earned honeymoon.

Jamie and John (St. Thomas More Wedding)

While I encourage all the couples I work with to customize the music for their celebration as much as they wish, it’s always fun for me when a couple allows me to use my experience to help create the perfect soundtrack for their big day.  Jamie and John trusted me to take their overall guidance and choose a good portion of the songs that had their guests dancing and singing on a perfect spring day at St. Thomas More in Bethel Park, PA.

I was able to provide uplighting and a monogram, which made the Family Life Center at St. Thomas More truly customized for Jamie and John.

The newlyweds’ friends and family had clearly come to celebrate.  The moment it was time to dance everyone was on their feet and getting wild.  Guests made fun requests which were a big hit with everyone who was excited to be part of Jamie and John’s special celebration.  The happy couple are now headed off for their romantic honeymoon in St. Thomas.

Brittany + Michael (Pittsburgh’s Grand Hall Wedding)

Finding the right venue for your reception can be very challenging.  Pittsburgh offers many uniquely styled locations based on your tastes and style.  I believe Brittany and Michael made the perfect choice for their elegant celebration held at Pittsburgh’s Grand Hall at the Priory.  Their friends and family gathered on a beautiful spring day to spend time and party with the newlyweds.

The Grand Hall was beautifully decorated and mother nature provided a wonderful amount of natural light, which made the room look even more stunning than usual.

Brittany and Michael (along with some help from their families) provided great selections for songs to include throughout the reception.  The music was a great mix of everything from Frank Sinatra to Pitbull.  As the sun went down, guests of every age crowded the floor to sing, dance and get crazy.  Brittany and Michael made all the right choices and created a wedding day like no other.

Margaret and Christopher (Chadwick Wedding)

I’ve been lucky enough to start the year with a number of weddings where I get to play part of the ceremony as well as the reception.  I love the opportunity to help make sure the music and sound for the nuptials are well-suited to the tastes of the bride and groom.  Margaret and Christopher’s elegant and fun-filled wedding day was held at the Chadwick in Wexford, PA.

The outdoor space at the Chadwick was beautifully decorated and the weather could not have been more perfect as guests gathered to celebrate with the happy couple.

Margaret and Christopher share my passion for music and organization.  I loved working with them to create the soundtrack for their special day.  Their playlist was a wonderful mix of everything to piano classics to modern popular hits.  There was something for everyone!

I loved the chance to witness the day unfold and was even happier to see all of the couple’s plans work out so perfectly.  All of Margaret and Christopher’s hard work paid off as their friends and family joined in dancing, singing in a big celebration of their new lives together.

Jaimie and Pete (Chestnut Ridge Golf Resort Wedding)

Planning a wedding can be stressful, tiring, and downright frustrating.  Jaimie and Pete didn’t seem to be bothered by any of those things and were calm and relaxed while preparing and enjoying their fun-filled day held at the elegant Chestnut Ridge Golf Resort in Blairsville, PA.

The outdoor pavilion provided a wonderful spot for them to exchange their vows.  Even though the day had started with a little snow, the weather warmed up so guests could enjoy a fantastic, clear day.  Afterwards guests were invited to the ballroom, which was beautifully decorated.  I was happy I could provide the purple uplighting which made things look even better.

The day was filled with special touches and memorable moments.  When it was time to start dancing, everyone was quick to join in the celebration.  The dance floor remained the place to be for almost 4 hours!  Jaimie and Pete’s great, relaxed attitude allowed them to focus on enjoying this once-in-a-lifetime occasion, and to create memories that will last forever.

Ashley and Adam (Phipps Conservatory Wedding)

There’s no better way to kick off the 2015 wedding season then with a fantastic spring wedding.  Ashley and Adam held their ceremony and reception at the beautiful Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh, PA.  They took such care to plan a day which included all their favorite people, details and music.

Their nuptials and cocktails were held in the Tropical Forest Congo area, and I loved how their place cards and other details coordinated perfectly with the theme at Phipps.

With dinner completed, it was finally time to really celebrate!  The newlyweds’ friends and family were tons of fun as they danced and sang to a variety of amazing selections.  Ashley and Adam chose some truly unique songs, which helped make the evening even more special.  I thank this wonderful couple for including me in their special day, what a way to start the year!  They are now off for a romantic honeymoon in Antigua.
