Megan & Bob

Just a little while ago I played the wedding of Megan Ellis and Bob Lewis at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Moon Township.


Bob and Megan had requested something unique for their reception. They asked that I setup my projector screen and a video camera and I projected images from around the room all night long up on the big screen. This made it so that everyone could see a different angle of the 'action' from anywhere in the room. I think it was a great idea and worked really well. Since we were already setting up the projector and screen, Bob & Megan also hired me to make a photo montage using their photos. I love making these montages and getting to see all the photos of the couple as they grew up and fell in love.

The Crown Plaza offers some nice options for a reception. We were able to meet there a week ahead of time to determine the best layout for the room which I think made everyone feel better! (including me!)

Megan and Bob had some great music ideas for dinner and cocktail hour, and they also gave me a lot of freedom to work the room and get people dancing.

I had such a great time working with Bob and Megan, they worked hard to make sure they're guests would have a fun and unique experience. All their hard worked paid off and they had an amazing reception.

Time To Ruffle Some Feathers

I just posted a new poll question for March. I'm curious to see what everyone really thinks about the either dreaded or beloved Chicken Dance. It probaby won't be your most important vote this year, but it is your chance to speak your mind and let the world know how you feel about this hot button issue! The poll question is located on the right hand side of the main page.

Wedding Costs

Just came across a great website that I think many of you will find interesting. It's a site that estimates the cost of wedding services and items depending on where you live. Just type in your zip code and get a variety of prices. In Pittsburgh the average music entertainment costs is listed at $867. The average photography/videogrpapher costs is listed at $3,357. See how your reception costs are measuring up at www.costofwedding.com.

Weddings Weddings Weddings

This has been the busiest summer of my life, and I love it!

After 20 years I find I still learn stuff from every job. 2006 has definitely been a banner year for me, the two keys of being a great DJ have got to be CUSTOMIZATION and FLEXIBILITY. Many years ago weddings were always the same, but I love how fresh and new the weddings and receptions have become!

Definately going to post some pictures soon!!!

Mother-Son Dance

It's so hard to find just the right song for the groom to dance to with his mother. I just stumbled across this great list on Wedalert.com. Some great suggestions here, make sure to ask Mom what she thinks too!

Sneak Peaks

I get wonderful comments back from my clients about how easy and simple it is to plan all their wedding details right here through my website. So I wanted to offer a chance for everyone to take a look around on how it works. I've created a sample login, so all you have to do is click on the 'client login' link to the left of the page. Use the date "March 18, 2006", the password is "demo". Feel free to poke around, change the different options, even choose a couple of song requests. Once you book your reception, I create a unique login for you to begin planning your own wedding details. ENJOY!

Tradition....with a Twist

Ok, this entry I promise not to talk about being busy (oops! guess I just did). ANYWAY, I'm really anxious to post about the reception I just performed at this past weekend. I do my best always to help customize every aspect of every reception to suit the wants and desires of every couple, and this past weekend that notion was put to the test. I was hired to perform for a great couple who were interested in incorporating some Jewish traditions and a variety of traditional Jewish music into their reception. With some great instructions from the Bride and Groom, I was able to find some wonderful Klezmir music to play during the cocktail hour, and was able to introduce the recently married couple into a warm circle of their friends and family while playing Havah Nagilah. It was truly awesome watching as the crowd lifted not only the newlyweds up on chairs, but their parents as well!

You could see that the many older relatives in attendance really appreciated these added touches to the reception and it helped make sure everyone felt included in the festivities. What was especially nice was how these details were added along with a rather modern selection of dance music throughout the evening. It was a wonderful day to be a part of and I'm honored to have had the pleasure in being there.

More and more couples are trying to find ways to make their special day 'different' than the 'typical' wedding day, take a note from this inventive couple, don't be afraid to look to older traditions that could make your day truly unique and new.
