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.

Four Points Sheraton Wedding (22 of 25)

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.

Accolades (Kelli & Eric)

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!!

I’ve gotta say, I personally think a DJ makes or breaks a wedding. And I also have to say that we were recommended Eric by our photographer who works with A LOT of DJs. From the moment we met Eric we were sold. He is so genuine, honest, fun, knowledgeable, professional… the adjectives go on and on and on. Ok, let’s get the specs out of the way— he has great unobtrusive equipment, he has a GIANT library of music, and he approaches this very much as a science, putting all the pieces together to make a great party in your space. But these are not the things that make a truly first-class DJ. That is the ‘it’ factor. He’s so classy. He MCs like a pro—the party is all about the attendants having a great time. And he. puts. together. such. great. playlists. We picked the music, but he gave us lots of hot tips and then pieced it all together at just the right time. I had guests coming up to me the whole night saying how great our DJ was. The other cool thing about Eric is that he has all these fun extras like uplighting. I’m sure in some venues you may not need that, but in ours it really added to the ambiance of the space (Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh Big Red Room). The success of a wedding I think hinges so much on a great DJ, and man, Eric is THE BEST!!!!

This has been an amazing summer with some really fun dance hits, making it even more fun to be a DJ. Since many Pittsburgh weddings are including these new songs in their playlists, I thought I should put together a little remix of my favorites. Please enjoy this End Of Summer 2013 Dance Mix featuring songs by Robin Thicke, Daft Punk, Calvin Harris and more! This mix is a little over an hour long so crank it up and get ready to dance!

If you enjoy this mix, you can download it for your mobile device. You can find a few more mixes over here.

Megen and Keith (Pittsburgh Athletic Association)

When your wedding is over, how will your guests describe it? I’m sure Megen and Keith’s family and friends will be using words like elegant, romantic, fun, and completely unforgettable.

Their celebration was held at the Pittsburgh Athletic Association in Oakland, which was decorated beautifully. My favorite touch was how each table featured a romantic quote from the couple’s favorite movies.

Keith said to me at the end of the night that the day had been more than he had ever hoped for, which is exactly what I wish for every bride and groom. Hopefully, Megen and Keith will be able to say the same thing about their romantic honeymoon in Jamaica!

Accolades (Kristen & Mikkel)

My husband and I used Eric’s services for our June 2013 wedding, and we could not be happier that we did!

From the first moment we contacted him to get information, he was extremely helpful, prompt, and very friendly. When we finally spoke over the phone (we were planning from out of state), we just clicked with him. He is so easy-going, fun, and such a genuinely nice guy. Throughout the process, he made everything so easy for us, and he did everything in his power to make sure we were happy with the results.

Eric’s website is very well done, and the choosing of music is well organized- you get a login name and can listen to clips of the music while you decide. Eric even offers lighting, which was so reasonably priced, and he did a BEAUTIFUL job lighting our reception.

During the reception, Eric was wonderful. He was energetic, professional, and made the reception so elegant yet so much fun!! Every person that came to the wedding was on the dance floor, and we danced till the end!! The music he played was absolutely perfect, and exactly what we wanted. The combination of the ambiance from his lighting and the feel from the music made our reception the perfect night.

We cannot thank Eric from Schiemer Entertainment more for making our wedding so incredibly special; we will have wonderful memories of our reception for the rest of our lives, and we give so much of the credit for that to him.
