There are no words.  I wish I could give Schiemer Entertainment 100x the amount of stars possible on this website.

To me the music and DJ at a reception is what keeps the party alive. I wanted a wedding where guests would talk about it for hours, days, weeks, months, and years after. We haven’t gotten to months or years, but hours, days, and weeks have passed and the response I keep getting is that I had the best wedding my guests had ever been to. Although that is a compliment to me, I think it is more a compliment to my DJ. Eric Schiemer was able to put together a playlist of music that kept people on their feet all night.

After speaking on the phone with Eric, I knew he was my man. He possessed a knowledge about weddings that other DJ’s I had contacted didn’t have.  Once booked, he gave me access to a site that allowed me to input all my information, choose songs, create a do not play list, and organized all my songs and information to make the reception planning easy.

Like mentioned above, I have not a complaint in the world about Eric. He is the single person I credit for the amazing time my guests, my husband, and I had at my reception. He listened to what I wanted, created an amazing playlist, and flawlessly input guest requests into the reception.

I cannot thank Eric enough for helping us celebrate such a special night.

I sometimes get the chance to DJ for weddings which have used a theme to tie details and decorations together.  Katie and Andrew’s “How I Met Your Mother” inspired wedding has to be one of the most cute and imaginative ideas I’ve ever seen.  Their ceremony and reception were held in the amazingly beautiful Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh, PA.

Subtle details from the TV show could be seen throughout the venue, but Katie and Andrew carefully planned everything so well that even non-HIMYM fans wouldn’t feel out of the loop.  The card box, table cards, cake, and more were all charming references to the show, while still remaining elegant and beautiful.

The newlyweds did a fantastic job planning the details of their wedding, including some amazing music choices throughout the day.  Guests had a great time dancing, singing and getting a little crazy to a great variety of music.  Katie and Andrew’s day full of woo-girls, wingmen, yellow umbrellas, and 1 ducky tie was the perfect match for their charming and fun personalities.  They’re now off to Fiji begin the next season of their lives together.  It’s sure to be Legen…dary.

One of my favorite things about weddings today is how couples are ready to incude only the the music and events that meet their style and tastes.  Dana and James planned  a day at the Carnegie Museum in Oakland, which began with great elegance in the Hall of Architecture and ended with an epic modern dance party in the Music Hall Foyer.

Dana and James chose to have contemporary piano music for cocktails and dinner, which matched perfectly with the beauty of the Music Hall Foyer.  After a few special dances, it was time to get the party started.  The newlyweds chose mostly music from the past decade, which was a perfect match for their wild and energetic guests.

The dance floor remained a crazy celebration all the way up until the last minute of the evening.  Afterwards, everyone made their way to the front of the museum for a sparkler farewell before Dana and Jim headed off for their honeymoon in Cancun.
