Kristen and Adam (The White Barn)

I’ve come to realize that every reception I DJ effects every wedding afterwards.  Kristen and Adam put great care into choosing music for their celebration at the White Barn in Prospect, PA.  I know that many of the unique and fun tunes they selected will work there way into many weddings in the future.

The White Barn looked amazing with lots of special details and decorations.  I’ll admit I was partial to their wine bottle place cards with the sign that read “You Can Find Your Seat Here… But Your Place Is On The Dance Floor”.

Planning a wedding from out of town can be a difficult task, but with the help of the talented staff of Soiree by Souleret, Kristen and Adam were able to give all of their guests a day filled with fun, music, and love.  The newlyweds will soon be heading off to Greece to start their new lives together.

Eric made the night unforgettable. I have been to weddings with bad DJs and everyone just sits around and ultimately leaves early. I am not kidding when I say that there wasn’t enough room on the dance floor. We had everyone – both young and old from both sides of the family – out on the dance floor until the very last dance.

Eric was incredibly professional. He is a charismatic, outgoing guy who definitely knows his business. He gave us a lot of suggestions and tips and made sure that everything ran smoothly throughout the night. I had plenty of people who told me even weeks after the wedding that Eric was a GREAT DJ. He had the right type of music for everything – from the quaint cocktail hour, to our very happy entrance to the dance music that kept everyone up and moving all night.

One of the best things about Schiemer that we really took advantage of is doing everything online. You can sample all of his music and even can rate music in your profile to give him a better idea of what you like and don’t. He really read my mind. I can think of at least 2 songs that I wanted (and forgot to tell him!). He played them both before I could even talk to him. He made the night truly unforgettable.

Eric, thank you for making our wedding amazing. I would highly recommend Eric to anyone and wish we could have another one to work with him again!

DJ Eric Schiemer is the BEST!  He really listened to what we wanted instead of making us buy a package that didn’t suit our needs.  His experience and service rivals the higher-priced DJ’s in the Pittsburgh area and guess what… he’s better… so you’re getting a bargain!  He has any type of music you could possibly want: Top 40, 80’s, oldies, you name it.  Anything we requested, he found a way to make it happen.  Our whole theme was Old Hollywood so he gave us songs used in movies for our cocktail and dinner hours and movie soundtrack themes for our reception entrance songs.  Plus, my husband and I are big fans of Aerosmith and Metallica… not easy songs to dance to… but Eric whipped up a mashup of our two favorite bands that everyone could jam along to.  One of the things we liked best was the planning form on his website, which made setting up our entire day a piece of cake.  This was especially important since we live in Georgia and couldn’t simply pop by to see him any time changes needed to be made.  He’s very responsive via phone and e-mail, as well, which makes planning the event a breeze.

Shannon and Jason (Four Points Sheraton)

Since last week’s blog covered the importance of a great entrance for your reception, it seems fitting this week to discuss the perfect ending.  Most couples I meet with would envy the amazing finish that Shannon and Jason had for their big day held at the Four Points Sheraton in Cranberry, PA.

Shannon and Jason scheduled a special after-party for after their reception, so they were able to call an end to the dancing portion of their evening with the majority of their guests still in attendance.  The result was a huge circle of friends and family surrounding them as they enjoyed one last dance together.

The entire reception ran smoothly and allowed plenty of time for everyone to get a little crazy.  It was great to see so many of the newlyweds’ friends and family heading off to celebrate even more.  Shannon and Jason are off to Riviera Maya for what I’m sure will be a perfectly timed honeymoon.

Without a doubt, if I had to recommend our favorite vendor from our wedding, it would be Schiemer Entertainment. From our very first meeting with DJ Eric, my husband and I were extremely impressed. He is very professional but so much fun to be around, and we were wow’d by his technical expertise (which in my opinion is vital for a DJ). Eric made the planning process extremely easy as well. Eric uses online planning tools that allow brides to create playlists or select genres of music they are interested in for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, which is really cool and makes planning a breeze. My husband and I had about a year and half engagement, and booked nearly all of our vendors before the year mark, most of which forgot our names by the time the wedding rolled around- but not Eric.

On the day of the wedding, Eric did an awesome job of putting us at ease and our guests RAVED about him! The dance floor was packed the entire night! Everyone from our great aunts to our wild college friends loved the variety of music, and was up celebrating with us.  All and all, we could not be more pleased or recommend Schiemer Entertainment Services more!! An easy 5 star rating!!
