The Pennsylvanian (Wedding Venue Spotlight)

Pittsburgh Wedding DJ

Clearly one of the most stunning venues in Pittsburgh, The Pennsylvanian offers a wedding experience like no other.  As a DJ, the Pennsylvanian does provide some challenges acoustically, but by using the right types and amount of a equipment, I have been able to reduce the amount of echo that may be a concern when choosing this amazingly beautiful venue.   I’ve been able to place a number of Bose speakers discreetly throughout the room which makes a drastic impact for the sound both throughout dinner and dancing.  I also provide a separate sound system in the spectacular rotunda for cocktails.  If you’re planning for a large and stunning wedding reception in downtown Pittsburgh, make sure to take a tour of the Pennsylvanian for your consideration.

The Knot Best of Weddings 2013

Each year the editors of the Knot website and magazine make a list of top vendors in each area based on the reviews left by bride’s on their website.  I’ve been blessed to have worked with some amazing clients who have left some wonderful words about the DJ services I was able to provide at their Pittsburgh wedding receptions this past year.  Thanks to these thoughtful newlyweds, I’ve been honored again with this award.  I’m humbled every time I look at these reviews, if you’re interested in reading what real clients have to say about my services, you can read them here.

Stephanie and Joel (Beth Shalom Synagogue DJ)

Throughout my career as a Pittsburgh DJ, I’ve been fortunate enough to perform at a variety of various cultural and religious wedding receptions.  While I wouldn’t consider my self a specialist at these events, I work closely with couples to make sure I can provide the exact entertainment service they need.  Stephanie Rosenthal and Joel Pomerantz were great to work with at their Jewish ceremony and reception held this past Sunday at the Beth Shalom Synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA.

The newlyweds asked me to provide music and a microphone for their ceremony. The large ballroom allowed plenty of room for all the separate festivities of the day.

Stephanie and Joel chose to use classical music through most of the day, and saved more mainstream music for the last hour of the reception.  This helped keep an appropriate and yet stylish mood to the celebration.

As the newlyweds entered their reception, the guests joined them on the floor for Havah Nagilah.  This might be the most full dance floor I’ve ever seen!

Later in the reception, there was time for more modern dancing, as well as Stephanie and Joel’s first dance.

I’m thrilled that Stephanie and Joel entrusted me to be part of their big day, and helped me make sure  all aspects of my services were mindful of important traditions.  While I’m always thrilled to be the DJ for every wedding, I cherish those celebrations which expose me to new and exciting opportunities.  I can’t thank these newlyweds enough, and I wish them the best on their new lives together.
