Last Song

“Don’t Stop Believin'” by Journey

This playlist moves from a contemporary string-quartet ceremony under the historic Beaux-Arts rotunda to a dance floor of disco, 80s, Motown, and modern pop for Stephanie and Andrew’s wedding at The Pennsylvanian in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Personal touches ran throughout the night, from a Katherine Ho “Yellow” at dinner and a Chinese father-daughter dance to a Pittsburgh Polka limbo contest that packed the floor. The former downtown train station set the perfect backdrop for a celebration that ended on Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’.”
