Amy and Douglas (White Barn Wedding DJ)

Amy and Doug’s wedding at The White Barn in Prospect, PA gave me a chance to really think about the power of words. They took great care to express themselves not only through their vows, but also through their programs, table settings, and decorations. The way they used words and phrases gave the wedding a personalized touch that set the perfect mood for their fun and unique ceremony and reception.

The many hours Amy and Doug spent making these customized decorations was well worth it. Each table’s center pieces even included a stack of antique books. I loved how the main room at the White Barn included signs with beautiful quotes as well as ones that said NOM, YUM and YAY!

The newlyweds also spent time choosing an incredible selection of music to use throughout their special day. Music from every genre imaginable helped create a great mood for everyone to enjoy. Amy and Doug are now off to St. Lucia for their honeymoon, which I’m sure will be too romantic for words.

Bernadette and David (Sheraton Station Square)

Let’s face it, some people just know how to throw a celebration. Sometimes from the moment cocktail hour begins, you can just tell that a reception is going to become an absolute party. Bernadette and David held their reception at the Sheraton Station Square, and their guests could not have been more excited to watch them have the best night of their lives.

Bernadette and David were tons of fun to work with, and they had complete trust in me to help make their reception perfect. They chose a great mix of genres, but really just wanted to be sure everyone danced and had a great time. I had a head’s up that this night would be amazing since I had played David’s sister’s wedding a couple of years ago. They also chose to have me provide a monogram for their dance floor. I love this personal touch.

Thankfully they thought to extend their evening in advance, and this allowed lots of time to include a great mix of music from 90’s punk, pop, and modern hits. I love the chance to get to play a few unique songs that you don’t hear everywhere. At the end of the night, Bernadette and David’s friends and family still had as much energy as ever as they danced, sang. hugged, and cheered louder than ever. The newlyweds are now off for a little alone time in Dublin and London for an amazing honeymoon.

Adrienne and Edward (Edgewood Country Club)

Great friends and great music make for great weddings. I love that I get to see couples surrounded by their closest friends while dancing and singing to their favorite songs. Adrienne and Ed had plenty of both for their elegant and fun reception at the Edgewood Country Club in Chuchill, PA.

This was an especially fun night for me since I was lucky enough to know a few of the newlyweds’ friends. I had played, or am about to play at their weddings. On top of that, I was able provide uplighting and a custom monogram to the already beautiful ballroom.

Adrienne and Ed put together a fantastic day for everyone to enjoy. Their attention to detail combined with their relaxed nature made their wedding day absolutely perfect. Now they get to get some time away from it all as they head off for a romantic honeymoon in St. Lucia.

Lauren and Chris (Phipps Conservatory)

A key to a great reception is to allow some variety into your music selections. Lauren and Chris did an amazing job coming up with a mix of music that appealed to all of their friends and family for their nuptials and celebration at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in Pittsburgh.

Phipps was the perfect location for the newlyweds’ big day. Their ceremony and cocktails were held in the outdoor gardens with a live string quartet. Throughout the rest of the evening, guests were treated to music from every decade from the 40’s til Today. Since it was a wonderful summer day, guests were able to enjoy the space outside the Special Events Suite which featured a cigar bar!

Lauren and Chris did an amazing job mixing their tastes of 80’s and current music along with great classic songs they knew their wedding guests would enjoy. Throughout the reception I had people stopping by to tell me how much they were enjoying the music selections. At the end of the night, everyone cheered for these fun and sweet newlyweds and even insisted on an extra song to keep the party going just a little longer.

Connie and Daniel (Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh)

I find that every couple I work with is able to create ways to really be themselves on their wedding day. Connie and Dan spent lots of time making their reception at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh a fantastic representation of their lives together.

Their ceremony was held in the Art Room of the Children’s Museum and featured a reading from the Velveteen Rabbit, and a banjo performance of “Rainbow Connection”. Connie and Dan also read their own vows, which were not only hilarious, but very sweet and personal. The customization continued as the venue was filled with unique pins made for each guest (and even the DJ!)

There was also a wonderful selection of music for me to use throughout the day. When it was time to dance, guests of all ages were able to enjoy a mix of Motown, disco and 90’s hip hop. Connie and Dan are creative, artistic, fun, and caring people, and they used their talents and passions to make their day absolutely perfect.

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.
