Tara & Jason (Grand Concourse Wedding Reception)

Even though I’ve had this website for many years, I’ve only recently started featuring extensive looks at the weddings where I perform. Winter is typically considered the ‘slow season’ for DJs, so I thought it would be fun to showcase images from past weddings that never made it to the blog.

Tara Zurowski and Jason Hoover held their reception at the Grand Concourse located at Station Square in Pittsburgh. I had worked with Tara and Jason with what ended up being an entire day long celebration of their wedding vows at various locations. The Grand Concourse was a wonderful location for the first half of their wedding reception.

Tara and Jason entered the reception down the beautiful staircase and immediately launched into their bridal and parent dances.

The Grand Concourse created the prefect as atmosphere for their elegant and relaxed afternoon reception. It truly created wonderful spots for the photographer to grab some stunning images.

After the meal, the guests all headed over to Tara’s family’s house for a more casual celebration that lasted long into the night with lots of dancing and fun.

Pittsburgh Magazine

I was extremely happy to hear that one of my clients from 2009 were going to have their wedding featured in the 2010 wedding edition of Pittsburgh Magazine. Karen Kurey & Jeremy Rocco had an amazing reception held at the Sheraton in Station Square. It was so much fun working with them to create such a beautiful, unique and wildly fun evening. The photos featured in the magazine were taken by none other than the amazingly talented Heather Lahtinen of Weddings By Heather. Because Heather’s work is so spectacular, she has two weddings featured in this special issue. You can see more of Karen & Jeremy’s beautiful wedding photos at Heather’s website.

You can get a look at the article on the Pittsburgh Magazine website.

2011 Bride’s Choice Award

Since we’re looking back on the previous year, this would also be a good time to mention that I was selected as one of the Bride’s Choice Award Winners for the 3rd year in a row. This award is handed out to the DJs who receive the best reviews on the Wedding Wire website. I’m so grateful to have so many wonderful clients willing to take time after their wedding to leave feedback and compliments regarding my service. It really means the world to me.

2009 Year In Review

2009 has been the most spectacular year. I was fortunate to meet so many fascinating people. I feel blessed that I spent the year participating in these truly unique and special receptions. Every year I put together some of my favorite images into a little montage, it was particularly difficult pick only a few pictures this year. I had so many amazing receptions to choose from. I can’t thank these wonderful people enough for their friendship and for allowing me to part of their celebration. Congratulations to everyone!

Amanda & Dennis (SNPJ Wedding Reception)

The end of the wedding season always makes me a little sad, because I feel blessed to play such an important part of my clients’ most special day. I am so glad that my final wedding of 2009 was a large and wild celebration! This past Saturday I was the DJ at the reception of Amanda Mackin and Dennis Schwartzmiller at the SNPJ in Imperial, PA.

During the planning stage, Amanda and Dennis were most concerned about making sure that everything was fun and easy for their guests to enjoy. Their cake topper was super cute!

Amanda and Dennis gave me some amazing song choices for cocktails and dinner. Cocktail hour featured a great variety of fun songs from the 50’s and 60’s that set the tone for the rest of the evening. Once the dinner started, they left the music choices open to whatever kept the dance floor going.

Every one of the guests was ready to celebrate when the dance music started. The floor was packed all evening long!

Amanda’s mother, Grace, danced all night to everything from the Temptations to Pitbull! She was so much fun!

Amanda and Dennis surrounded themselves with their favorite people and took the time to consider what would make everyone have a great time. The over 250 guests had a total blast. At the end of the evening everyone was still going strong, and probably would have continued dancing til dawn. The newlyweds are now off to a well deserved, and probably well needed honeymoon!

Ashley & Zachary (Concordia Club Reception)

Planning a wedding from out of town adds some extra challenges to creating the perfect day. Many of my clients choose to hold their wedding in Pittsburgh, since this is where they grew up and many of their friends and family are still in the area. This past Saturday I was honored to perform at the reception of Ashley Kingsbery and Zachary Jackson at the Concordia Club in Pittsburgh, PA.

Ashley & Zach spend their time living in various parts of the country, but chose to hold their reception at the beautiful and elegant Concordia Club. This was the last wedding to be held at the club, since it was recently sold to the University of Pittsburgh. It was a fabulous celebration to serve as the final event for this venue. Ashley’s family and friends all pitched in to help with all of the amazing decorations throughout the club. There were a lot of special touches everywhere that really personalized the venue.

Ashley and Zach gave me the most fun and upbeat song list I’ve ever seen. Songs from every genre were included so that all the guests had the opportunity to dance to their favorites. Zach even came out and did N’Sync’s “Bye Bye Bye” dance routine! It was awesome.

There were Terrible Towels everywhere! The bridal party were each given towels that were embroidered with their initials.

One of my favorite moments of the evening was before Zach removed Ashley’s garter. They had the best time dancing around the chair to Usher’s “My Way”. It was so clear to see how connected these two are and how much fun they have being together.

Ashley is a fantastic singer. Everyone was thrilled when she took the mic and sang with Zach!

Although I hadn’t met Ashley or Zach before the wedding, it was great working both of them online and on the telephone. They are so friendly and fun that I knew from the first time I talked with Ashley this was going to be an amazing evening. Even though they did most of the planning from outside of Pittsburgh, they had no problems creating a wonderful celebration that their friends and family will never forget.
