This weekend was the DJ for Katie and Peter’s reception at the Four Points Sheraton in Cranberry, PA. Instead of taking any pictures, I did a little something different for the newlyweds. I hope you enjoy this look at this fantastic couples awesome celebration.

I love working with couples who want to create a specific atmosphere for their wedding reception. Melina and Tony planned their reception at the Bigelow Conference Center, and was an experience which allowed their guests to enjoy a great day of celebrating.

The day was filled with great personal touches, such as a pianist for cocktails, a display of the couple’s family tree, a fabulous cookie table, and Melina’s dress, which her mother had created! They took full advantage of the spaces at the venue to have separate areas for each phase of the evening. I was able to provide some uplighting in the dinning area, which made the space even more customized.
Melina and Tony couldn’t have put together a more perfect way to celebrate their new lives together. Their playlist choices suited their family and friends as everyone danced to a wide variety of music. The evening drew to a close to Etta James’ “At Last”. It was a wonderfully romantic way to end their beautiful and fun day before heading off for their honeymoon in Napa Valley.

Choosing the song to kick off your celebration can be a challenge. Some people to maintain an elegant of romance and elegance, while others favor to get the party started by choosing a song which will get the guests excited.
A wedding reception can be the time when you can truly let loose. All the hard work and planning have paid off, and it’s finally time to enjoy yourself completely with friends and family. It was a pleasure for me to watch Katie and Patrick get a little crazy during their fantastic reception at the Four Points Sheraton in Cranberry, PA.

Katie and Patrick included a ton of fun, memorable moments that their guests are sure to talk about for years to come. Michael Jackson-style dancing, singing, and a hilarious garter removal all helped keep everyone entertained.
All of the fun didn’t take away from the beauty and elegance of the night. Katie and Patrick had some wonderful romantic moments as well. When the night was over, the couple were off to prepare for their honeymoon cruise, where I’m sure they will continue to get a little wild.
I love working with couples who not only love music, but who know how much fun it can be to use a specific song to enhance their wedding reception. I had a blast working with Ashley and Matt to create a once in a lifetime mix of music that suited them perfectly.

The reception, which was held at J. Verno Studios, kicked off with a grand entrance, which featured each couple of the bridal party walking in to custom songs. Afterwards Ashley and Matt danced to a unique and romantic mix of two Elton John songs.
The music the newlyweds chose for their day was a perfect reflection of their personal style. With dinner and formal events out of the way, the dance party quickly began. Everyone had a fantastic time dancing to a great variety of music and no one was ready for the party to end. The couple now gets to continue their celebration in St. Lucia.
One thing I truly enjoy at the reception is mixing in recent hits amongst traditional crowd pleasing songs. It’s fun seeing the bridal party, their parents, and even their grandparents, getting a bit wild to newer music.
