Jamie and John (St. Thomas More Wedding)

While I encourage all the couples I work with to customize the music for their celebration as much as they wish, it’s always fun for me when a couple allows me to use my experience to help create the perfect soundtrack for their big day.  Jamie and John trusted me to take their overall guidance and choose a good portion of the songs that had their guests dancing and singing on a perfect spring day at St. Thomas More in Bethel Park, PA.

I was able to provide uplighting and a monogram, which made the Family Life Center at St. Thomas More truly customized for Jamie and John.

The newlyweds’ friends and family had clearly come to celebrate.  The moment it was time to dance everyone was on their feet and getting wild.  Guests made fun requests which were a big hit with everyone who was excited to be part of Jamie and John’s special celebration.  The happy couple are now headed off for their romantic honeymoon in St. Thomas.

Jaimie and Pete (Chestnut Ridge Golf Resort Wedding)

Planning a wedding can be stressful, tiring, and downright frustrating.  Jaimie and Pete didn’t seem to be bothered by any of those things and were calm and relaxed while preparing and enjoying their fun-filled day held at the elegant Chestnut Ridge Golf Resort in Blairsville, PA.

The outdoor pavilion provided a wonderful spot for them to exchange their vows.  Even though the day had started with a little snow, the weather warmed up so guests could enjoy a fantastic, clear day.  Afterwards guests were invited to the ballroom, which was beautifully decorated.  I was happy I could provide the purple uplighting which made things look even better.

The day was filled with special touches and memorable moments.  When it was time to start dancing, everyone was quick to join in the celebration.  The dance floor remained the place to be for almost 4 hours!  Jaimie and Pete’s great, relaxed attitude allowed them to focus on enjoying this once-in-a-lifetime occasion, and to create memories that will last forever.

Kimly and James (Lexus Club Wedding)

Kimly and James’ reception was held at the beautiful Lexus Club @ PNC Park.  They did an amazing job putting together a celebration that would be contemporary, but still include a variety of special traditions which made theirs a day like no other.

I was thrilled to be able to help customize the dining room with uplighting of blue, purple and pink.

Kimly and James each included some ethnic traditions to make the evening even more special.   As part of a Vietnamese tradition, the newlyweds and their families went to every table and shared a toast.  Kimly even changed into a stunning special outfit for this special time.  There was also a money dance that was done to all Greek music.  I loved the inclusion of these events!

The music for the dancing portion of the evening was a perfect match for the happy couple and their fun and wild group of friends and family.  As the night came to a close, Kimly and James were surrounded by their guests as everyone cheered and clapped.  They had created a perfect elegant and modern evening that no one will forget.

Erin and Mark (Pittsburgh Athletic Association)

When planning the schedule for your reception, it’s the subtle things that can have the biggest impact.  Erin and Mark did a masterful job planning the events for the their special day at the Pittsburgh Athletic Association in Oakland.  Both the way their reception began and ended allowed them to have the perfect wedding day with their friends and family.

The newlyweds took the time between cocktails and the reception to include a receiving line.  This gave the chance to greet all their guests individually and saved them lots of time after dinner.  After all of the fun of the celebration, everyone was invited downstairs to the PAA’s bowling alley for a unique and fun-filled after party.


It was such a pleasure to work with Erin and Mark, who had a great vision for the their wedding day, and I was so happy to see it turn out so perfectly.  The couple now gets to enjoy what I’m sure will be an amazing honeymoon in Curaçao.

Nina and Carl (Airport Hyatt Regency)

As a DJ, music plays a huge part of my life.  One of my great thrills is working with people who are as passionate about music as I am.  Nina and Carl’s wedding reception at the Hyatt Regency Pittsburgh Airport was one filled with a spectacular soundtrack and a few surprises.

Guests were treated to a full musical theatre theme reception that included curtains, lights, popcorn, dancing and even a beautiful live performance by Nina and a talented group of friends and family.

Nina and Carl’s celebration was like no other.  They created an evening that perfectly suited their own and their guests’ passions.  While the venue was grand and elegant, the atmosphere was relaxed and jovial.  It was the perfect celebration before the newlyweds headed off for their honeymoon in Puerto Rico.

Kayla and Michael (Westwood Golf Club)

After so many years of DJing weddings here in Pittsburgh, I assumed I had seen every combination of wedding colors and decorations.  Kayla and Michael proved me wrong in the most amazing way by using 5 vibrant and stunning colors for their celebration at the Westwood Golf Club in West Mifflin, PA.

The ballroom was decked out with purple, blue, green, yellow and red elements, all of which matched the sashes and vest on the bridal party.  I was so happy that they asked me to provide uplighting which changed colors every few minutes throughout the evening.  The combination of colors and decorations were beautiful and something I’m sure no one will ever forget!

My favorite moment of the reception was when Kayla surprised Michael during their first dance with a special song she had recorded just for him.  All of the guests were treated to a great mix of music as everyone danced and sang throughout the night.  I had the best time working with Kayla and Michael on their magical wedding reception.  They are now off what I’m sure will be a beautiful (and colorful) honeymoon!
