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.

Woody Harmon Wedding

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!

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.

Anjelica and Andy (SNPJ Alpine Room)

Your friends can really help make your wedding day.  It can be the day when you’ll see the people closest to you step up and do all they can to make your day a success.  At Anjelica and Andy’s wedding at the SNPJ in Imperial, PA, it was obvious how many people they had touched throughout their lives, as hundreds came together to celebrate.

Marsh Diehl Wedding

The Alpine Room was beautifully decorated with a beach/ocean theme, which I’m sure helped to get the couple get in the mindset of their upcoming honeymoon in Punta Cana!

I’m blessed to consider the newlyweds my friends, and I was thrilled to play a part of their amazingly fun day.  As the night drew to a close, Anjelica and Andy were smothered with hugs and kisses by their closest friends and family.  Everyone gave their all to help them as they started their new lives together.

Melina and Tony (Bigelow Conference Center)

I love working with couples who want to create a specific atmosphere for their wedding reception.  Melina and Tony planned their reception at the Bigelow Conference Center, and was an experience which allowed their guests to enjoy a great day of celebrating.

The day was filled with great personal touches, such as a pianist for cocktails, a display of the couple’s family tree, a fabulous cookie table, and Melina’s dress, which her mother had created!  They took full advantage of the spaces at the venue to have separate areas for each phase of the evening.  I was able to provide some uplighting in the dinning area, which made the space even more customized.

Melina and Tony couldn’t have put together a more perfect way to celebrate their new lives together.  Their playlist choices suited their family and friends as everyone danced to a wide variety of music.  The evening drew to a close to Etta James’ “At Last”.  It was a wonderfully romantic way to end their beautiful and fun day before heading off for their honeymoon in Napa Valley.
