Riverside Landing

Situated along the river in North Apollo, Riverside Landing offers a reception setting that keeps the water and surrounding landscape present throughout the celebration. The location gives the day an open, scenic feel without losing structure once guests move inside.
Ceremonies often take place outdoors near the riverbank before transitioning into the reception space for dinner and dancing. The ballroom is well proportioned for a full guest count and generous dance floor, with a layout that keeps introductions and toasts visually centered.
Because the celebration can span outdoor and indoor areas, thoughtful sound placement ensures vows, announcements, and music carry clearly from one portion of the evening to the next. As the light fades over the river, the atmosphere naturally shifts into a lively reception.
Below is a look at how a wedding at Riverside Landing comes together once guests gather and the celebration begins.

Josie and John (Riverside Landing DJ)

The hardest part of wedding planning is figuring out what to focus on.  The key is to determine what is most important to you and put your time and energy into those details.  Josie Powell and John O’Shea did an excellent job putting together a day that met their style and tastes.  Their reception was held on a beautiful sunny day at Riverside Landing in Oakmont, PA.

Josie and John prepared a fun and stress-free reception which allowed them to relax and enjoy the special time with their guests.  After their grand entrance they had a sweet, romantic first dance.

When John and I discussed the music for the evening, he told me they wanted “just typical awesome wedding reception music”.  This left plenty of flexibility to find exactly what would get everyone to the dance floor.

Josie and John spent tons of time dancing with everyone.  John even got things started by leading a giant train.

Wedding End

After all the wild dancing, the evening ended perfectly as all of the guests surrounded the bride and groom for the last dance.  I loved working with Josie and John to create such a perfect evening.  I’m so glad they were able to focus on how special everything was, which truly is what matters the most.
