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.

Timing is always one of the most tricky aspects of any wedding day. While you don’t want to be trapped by holding to a strict schedule, it’s easy to lose track of time during a day full of activities. It was great fun to be part of Mackenzie and Zachary’s perfectly executed wedding day in which, without even trying, everything happened exactly as planned.

Held on a perfect spring day at the Duquesne Power Center ballroom, Mackenzie and Zachary were nice enough to allow me to debut my uplighting package. I loved how it helped enhance the already beautiful room to match the colors of the wedding.
One of my favorite things about working with Mackenzie and Zach was their love of music. The choices they made gave the reception a truly unique style. Once the final song came to an end, the ballroom was still full of guests who couldn’t get enough of what was a simply perfect celebration. The couple now head off for a romantic, and well planned, honeymoon in San Francisco and Hawaii.

You don’t need shoulder pads, swatch watches or big hair to want to include a little Journey, Bon Jovi, Madonna or Kenny Loggins into your wedding celebration.

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.
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.
