Shoshana and Aaron (J Verno’s Studios)

Since “normal” life doesn’t stop when you’re planning your wedding, most people have to choose which details to focus on when putting together the perfect celebration. Shoshana and Aaron chose music as one of those details and created the perfect soundtrack for their ceremony and reception at J. Verno Studios in the South Side of Pittsburgh.

The ceremony was romantic and intimate. Shoshana and Aaron chose special music and readings which provided a contemporary feel while also including jewish traditions such as the chuppah and breaking of glass.

As dinner came to a close, it was difficult to keep people from the dance floor. Shoshana and Aaron’s friends and family were anxious to get the party started and had a blast dancing to a great variety of music from all genres. The evening ended with the newlyweds surrounded by their friends and family as everyone sang along to the last song. The couple is now off to enjoy a well deserved European honeymoon.

Paige and Evan (Pittsburgh’s Grand Hall)

I’m always very excited to play my first wedding of every year. I can’t imagine a more perfect couple to kick off 2014 than Paige and Evan. Their fun, relaxed attitude made for a fantastic and elegant reception at Pittsburgh’s Grand Hall at the Priory.

The Grand Hall is one of Pittsburgh’s most stunning venues and it was a fantastic choice for Paige and Evan’s reception. There was plenty of room for everyone to enjoy themselves throughout the entire celebration.

The newlyweds allowed lots of flexibility when it came to the music for the evening. This made it possible to include a wide variety of music for all of their guests to enjoy. After a full evening of dancing and celebrating, Paige and Evan are now headed off for their honeymoon in sunny California.

Emily and Brendan (Twelve Oaks Mansion)

One of the great honors I’ve had is playing receptions for members of our military. Not only do I have great respect for the men and women who serve our country, but also their friends and family know the value of spending time together, and are always ready for a celebration. This could not have been more true than at Emily & Brendan’s reception at the Twelve Oaks Mansion in Mars, PA.

Twelve Oaks Mansion was beautifully decorated with elegant linens and a beautiful winter wedding cake. I was thrilled that they chose me to provide uplighting for dinner and dancing. Emily surprised Brandon by having 2 songs for their first dance so they could both have the song of their choice. Talk about compromise!

After lots of celebrating and singing (and a fantastic dance to N’Sync’s “Bye, Bye, Bye”), the night ended with Emily and Brendan’s friends and family surrounding them on the dance floor for the final song. I can not imagine a better way to end 2013 than by being a part of this wonderful celebration for such a sweet and kind couple.

Kylie and Manny (Marriott City Center)

There are many variables that can affect how you spend your time on your wedding day. It’s important to remember to be flexible and take full advantage of all the time you have with friends and family. Kylie and Manny were the perfect example of going with the flow and enjoying every moment of their beautiful and wild celebration at the Marriott City Center in downtown Pittsburgh, PA.

Kylie warned me in advance that their guest list of over 250 people was going to be a fun and exciting group. From the moment the first song began, the dance floor was never empty. Kylie and Manny chose a great set of modern music and wedding classics, so there was plenty of variety to please everyone.

With so many guests having so much fun, I was thrilled to find out that Kylie and Manny had chosen to extend their time with the hotel. Even with the extra time, many of their guests were ready to head to an after hours celebration to keep the fun going long into the night. The newlyweds could not have been more fun for me to work with, and I wish them the best as they head to St. Lucia for their romantic honeymoon.

Shannon and Cole (Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh)

Every wedding contains a million details, all of which will come together to create a day which is completely your own. Shannon and Cole worked tirelessly on their amazing wedding and reception held at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh. With the help of family and friends, their celebration was romantic, unique, and completely awesome.

One important detail I was able to help out with was the newlyweds’ customized playlist. They avoided overplayed and cheesy songs, and instead used great songs to create a great vibe. Their song choices included great indie singer-songwriters, and later in the night some amazing 90’s tunes. Dancing started off with a hora which filled up the big dance floor quickly as the newlyweds were hoisted in the air!

Shannon and Cole avoided many wedding traditions, and instead spent every moment of the special day enjoying amazing moments with their guests. Their choices in details and music helped make the day a perfect reflection of their personalities. They can enjoy every moment of their honeymoon in Puerto Rico knowing their day had been a complete success.
