Tia and Benjamin (Holiday Inn, Moon Twp DJ)

Weddings usually offer newlyweds a chance for some self-reflection.  In order to have a day that truly reflects who you are as a couple, you have to evaluate everything.  Since I prefer to work with my clients to create a day that is wonderfully unique, it’s great to work with couples who know and love who they are, and choose to share that with their friends and family.  This past weekend I was the DJ for the wedding & reception of Tia Smith and  Benjamin Pease, held at the Ferris Ballroom at the Holiday Inn, Moon Township.

The ballroom was decorated gorgeously. The wedding colors blended perfectly with the colors of the room.

Tia and Ben chose to have their reception as a Masquerade Ball.  While most of the guests brought their own masks, these were made available so everyone could join in the fun!

Who’d think a pumpkin could be so elegant?

I had such a great time talking music with Tia and Ben.  Their tastes were as unique and diverse as they are.  We worked together to make a playlist that included everything from Final Fantasy to Rocky Horror and much, much more.

The first dance, to Ben Folds “The Luckiest”, was sweet and tender.

Then it was time for some dancing… the masks came out and people got wild!

Tia and Ben had the most awesome masks…

It’s amazing to watch people who were able to have their wedding exactly how they wanted, and see their friends and family join in to make the day a perfect success.  To me, Tia and Ben set the perfect example on how being true to yourself when wedding planning creates a day like no other.  I’m sure all of the guests will be discussing this special day for years to come.
