Kristen and Omar (Carnegie Museum)

I believe every couple should be able to have their wedding exactly as they’ve always dreamed.  It’s important to make the details of your day a true reflection of who you are.  Kristen and Omar did an amazing job making their celebration at the Carnegie Museum a terrific blend of style, elegance, and fun.

Their reception began with cocktails in the Hall of Architecture, with live music by the MerryMakers, who then led the guests in a New Orleans Style parade to the Music Hall Foyer, where the newlyweds held their romantic first dance.  It was a great way to show everyone this was going to be a very special evening.

As dinner ended, the guests were able to enjoy a great mix of music chosen by the newlyweds.  Kristen and Omar worked hard on a playlist which included everything from Sinatra, The Drifters, Journey, and Neil Diamond, as well as newer music from Pitbull and Michael Jackson.  The music, as well as many other elements of the evening, worked perfectly as a way for this fun and stylish couple to share parts of themselves with their closest friends and family.

Natalie and Denny (Airport Marriott)

I tell everyone I work with that time has no meaning on a wedding day.  It’s impossible to know how much time you may need to have the day of your dreams.  Natalie and Denny’s planned their reception at the Pittsburgh Airport Marriott in Moon Township to use all of their time perfectly to create an celebration of epic proportions.

After cocktails were served in the patio, guests were lead to the the Grand Ballroom at the Marriott, which was meticulously decorated to help create an atmosphere of elegance and style.

The newlyweds kept the evening simple, choosing to exclude some wedding traditions in favor having more time to dance and visit with their friends and family.  It was the perfect choice, since everyone from both families filled the dance floor to a fantastic mix of music from every genre.  The party raged on until 1AM, which was 2 hours after the bar closed!  Natalie and Denny planned their reception so they could treasure every second of the day.  They are now off to make more memories on their romantic Hawaiian honeymoon.

Alaina and Alexander (Wendel Inn)

Wedding guest lists always contain a great variety of types of people.  Cousins, uncles, grandparents, nieces, nephews, high school and college friends, co-workers and more all gather together to help couples celebrate their special day.  Alaina and Alex did an amazing job when selecting music for their elegant reception at the Wendel Inn in Pittsburgh, PA.

The newlyweds took full advantage of the evening by including custom music genres for cocktails (Doo-Wop & Motown music) and for dinner (love songs from the 50 through today.  This allowed for a great variety of unique songs that appealed to their friends and family.

When it was time to dance, there was plenty of great music to get the party started.  Their guests enjoyed everything from oldies, country, top 40, and more.  I had a blast working with Alaina and Alex and loved how they used music to create a wedding soundtrack that would appeal to everyone.  They’re now preparing for a well deserved honeymoon in Punta Cana.

Ally and Bob (Omni William Penn)

Everyone knows that the bride and groom are the center of attention on their wedding day.  Every once in awhile I get to work with a couple who shares that spotlight with their family and friends.  Ally and Bob gave lots of opportunities for all their guests to be part of their epic celebration at the Omni William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh, PA.

Their wedding reception was held in the William Penn Ballroom, and I was thrilled when they asked me to provide uplighting for the evening.  I love how lighting can help a couple customize a ballroom to truly match their style and tastes.

The entire evening, from the over-the-top grand entrance, to the opening dance party, to the amazing celebration that lasted until 2AM, their guests sang, danced and just went insane to all the great music.  I had so much fun being a part of this special evening as well as getting to know the newlyweds and their families.  Ally and Bob are off to begin their next adventure as they move to Texas!

There are no words.  I wish I could give Schiemer Entertainment 100x the amount of stars possible on this website.

To me the music and DJ at a reception is what keeps the party alive. I wanted a wedding where guests would talk about it for hours, days, weeks, months, and years after. We haven’t gotten to months or years, but hours, days, and weeks have passed and the response I keep getting is that I had the best wedding my guests had ever been to. Although that is a compliment to me, I think it is more a compliment to my DJ. Eric Schiemer was able to put together a playlist of music that kept people on their feet all night.

After speaking on the phone with Eric, I knew he was my man. He possessed a knowledge about weddings that other DJ’s I had contacted didn’t have.  Once booked, he gave me access to a site that allowed me to input all my information, choose songs, create a do not play list, and organized all my songs and information to make the reception planning easy.

Like mentioned above, I have not a complaint in the world about Eric. He is the single person I credit for the amazing time my guests, my husband, and I had at my reception. He listened to what I wanted, created an amazing playlist, and flawlessly input guest requests into the reception.

I cannot thank Eric enough for helping us celebrate such a special night.

Catherine and Jason (Omni William Penn)

Weddings are typically a very special time to spend with your friends.  As couples move into a new stage of life, the reception can be a fantastic opportunity to connect and celebrate with friends from childhood and school.  Catherine and Jason were joined by many of the friendliest (and craziest) people I’ve met for their wedding reception at the Omni William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh, PA.

Omni William Penn Urban Room Wedding (25 of 25)

The Urban Room at the Omni created the perfect setting for dinner and dancing.  Catherine and Jason’s decorations worked perfectly with the classic charm of the venue.

Making the evening even more special, the newlyweds gave their friends the opportunity to be a part of special songs/events.  This included a huge wedding selfie and an epic Notre Dame pushup tradition which I’m sure no one will ever forget.  Catherine and Jason’s guests helped create an evening that was truly fun and unique.  With their perfect wedding day completed, they are now off to Italy for a well dererved honeymoon.
