Magic in the Details: Annika and Joshua’s Epic Wedding at The Pennsylvanian

Spring in Pittsburgh can be a little unpredictable — sunny one second, raining the next — but when it all comes together, there’s just something electric about this city. And honestly, that’s exactly how Annika and Joshua’s wedding felt: pure energy, total joy, and a whole lot of love packed into one unforgettable night at The Pennsylvanian.

From the moment I first met Annika and Joshua, I could tell their wedding day was going to be something special. They were so intentional with their planning — thoughtful about every detail without ever losing the excitement of just getting to be together. That kind of vibe? It always makes for the best celebrations.

One of my favorite moments of the whole day happened before the party even started. Before guests flooded into the Grand Hall, Annika and Joshua shared a private first dance. Just the two of them, soaking in the moment. It was seriously magical — like pressing pause on time before the chaos (the good chaos) of the night began.

For dinner we kept it classy and fun with a blend of jazz standards, acoustic singer-songwriter tracks, and a few surprising 80s favorites tucked in. It was the perfect soundtrack for people catching up, laughing over plates of amazing food, and clinking glasses.

And once we opened the dance floor? Total mayhem — in the absolute best way. Their friends and family came READY. We hit everything from old-school throwbacks to pop anthems, some high-energy rap, and even a little country and disco sprinkled in. It was that perfect mix where your grandma, your college roommate, and your cousin are all screaming the lyrics to the same song.

It’s nights like these that remind me why I love being a DJ. When the planning is thoughtful and the people show up ready to party, it doesn’t just feel like another event — it feels like you’re part of something real. Annika and Joshua nailed it: they made time for each other, and then they let loose and lived it up with the people they love most.

We wrapped up the night with one of those songs that feels like pure adrenaline in music form — everyone singing, jumping, laughing, losing it — and honestly, nobody wanted it to end. (But don’t worry, most of them kept the party going at the after party!)

Congratulations to Annika and Josh! Thank you so much for letting me a part of your unbelievably perfect wedding day!
