The Pennsylvanian (Wedding Venue Spotlight)

Pittsburgh Wedding DJ

Clearly one of the most stunning venues in Pittsburgh, The Pennsylvanian offers a wedding experience like no other.  As a DJ, the Pennsylvanian does provide some challenges acoustically, but by using the right types and amount of a equipment, I have been able to reduce the amount of echo that may be a concern when choosing this amazingly beautiful venue.   I’ve been able to place a number of Bose speakers discreetly throughout the room which makes a drastic impact for the sound both throughout dinner and dancing.  I also provide a separate sound system in the spectacular rotunda for cocktails.  If you’re planning for a large and stunning wedding reception in downtown Pittsburgh, make sure to take a tour of the Pennsylvanian for your consideration.

Mikel Lynn and Jim (Shakespeare’s Castle DJ)

Your wedding day should be a reflection of your style. No matter what your tastes are, your big day is a chance to showcase who you are to the people who mean the most to you. The guests at the wedding of Mikel Lynn Davis and Jim Langan were given a great opportunity to be part of an intimate occasion which was truly one-of-a-kind.

Both the ceremony and reception were held at Shakespeare’s Castle at the Old Stonewall Golf Course.  The perfect place for a wedding, the castle offers an experience like no other.  Of course, Mikel Lynn and Jim were able to add their own touches, including an archway made of books, that added even more character for their big day.

I was thrilled that Mikel Lynn and Jim asked me to part of their wonderful celebration.  Since I had known Mikel Lynn since college, it was an extra special thrill for me to see her have her perfect wedding day with her soulmate.  The newlyweds are now off on their honeymoon in the Virgin Islands, and I’m sure they are making it an experience that is truly all their own.

Kathryn and Michael (J. Verno Studios DJ)

Wedding days are romantic, elegant, and always unique.  Everyone knows the main purpose of the day is to acknowledge the love of the newlyweds as they begin their new lives together.  While every couple chooses their own way to mark the occasion, I have the best time working with those who really know that this day is meant to be celebrated.  This past weekend I was fortunate enough to be a part of Kathryn and Michael’s big day held at J Verno Studios in the Southside of Pittsburgh, PA.  Thanks to their excitement and enthusiasm, all of their guests had no choice but join in the celebration.

J Verno Studios was the perfect venue for both the ceremony and reception.  The large contemporary space allowed the couple to set the perfect atmosphere for their nuptials.  I had a ton of fun pulling music together for Kathryn and Michael.  They gave me direction as far as styles, and allowed me to choose the songs that would create just the right mix.  In one of the most brilliant decisions ever, the newlyweds chose to follow-up their grand entrance with an instant mini-dance party with all of the guests.  Everyone filled the dance floor for 7 minutes of complete chaos where everyone danced, laughed, hugged and got a sneak peak of how the rest of the evening was going to be.

I find it hard to imagine there was any wedding happening in Pittsburgh that came even close to the fun and jubilation that Kathryn and Michael had at their extraordinary winter wedding.  I’m thrilled they chose to have me play part in this once in a lifetime celebration.
