Shannon & Joe's Spring Wedding at The Radnor Valley Country Club

Shannon & Joe had an awesome wedding reception! When we first met, we instantly connected, and I was sure that I could provide exactly what they had envisioned for their celebration. They wanted a non-stop high energy dance party following a few traditional formalities to begin their reception.

Moira & Andrew's Merion Tribute House Wedding

Mora & Andrew's Reception was a blast! The very enchanting Merion Tribute House provided the perfect atmosphere to host the celebration Moria and Andrew were hoping to share with their guests.  

I provided vibrant LED uplighting for the ballroom which created the perfect ambiance, matching the color-theme of the wedding. Moria surprised all her guests with LED batons and HUGE beach balls.... the night was a non-stop party!!

Celebrating with Sharks at the Adventure Aquarium

The Adventure Aquarium in Camden, New Jersey is by far one of the most unique venues I have had the opportunity to host a wedding day celebration. Think about it.... where else can you witness a wedding ceremony, eat, drink, and dance, all while being surrounded by some of the world's most fascinating creatures? The celebration began when Joy & Tim exchanged vows in a portion of the Currents Ballroom right in front of the aquarium's  550,000 gallon Shark Realm. 

After the ceremony, the guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres in the Rotunda and had the opportunity to explore the aquarium while Tim & Joy and their Bridal Party posed for photos in front of thousands of underwater creatures. The reception began with an explosive custom first dance song remixed to "I Walk the Line" by Johnny Cash and "The Boogie Bumper" by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.

Tim is a DJ in New York, so being a DJ for a fellow DJ is always fun! Joy had contacted me months before their big day and let me in on a little surprise she had planned for her new husband-to-be. She had secretly purchased the DJ mixer he always dreamed of owning.... the Allen & Heath DB4. The mixer was hidden inside his custom-made grooms cake, and was a huge hit when he began trying to cut into it!!

Ceremony Processional: "Jaws Theme", "Canon in D", and "Ode to Joy"

Last Dance: "New York, New York" by Frank Sinatra

Congratulations Joy & Tim! 

Melissa & Jon's Winter Wedding on the Mountain

      This was my first (of many) trips up the mountain for 2013. The Bear Creek Mountain Resort & Conference Center is by far one of my favorite wedding venues, and I look forward to every event I entertain there! 

Melissa & Jon's special day began with a short ceremony in a portion of the Mountain Ballroom. I provided red LED uplighting, highlighting their wedding "colors" and adding a little extra flare to the ambiance of the room. After the ceremony, their guests enjoyed a lavish cocktail hour in the foyer before entering the ballroom for dinner and dancing. Melissa & Jon were a lot of fun, and I'm very glad that they chose me to be their Entertainment Director and DJ/MC! Danielle Almond (Almond Photography) is a blast to work alongside, and I hope to do so again in the future!

Dancing at the Desmond with Melinda & Paul

           The Desmond Great Valley Hotel & Conference Center in Malvern, PA is an awesome location to host the celebration of the most special day in your life. Melinda & Paul enjoyed each and every minute of their reception, and could not have stopped smiling even if they tried !

         The first time I met Melinda & Paul, I knew that their reception was going to be a blast. They didn't leave the dance floor from the moment the music began until the very last song ! Their evening began with a lavish cocktail hour in the lounge before their guests entered the Grand Ballroom. Before dinner was served, Melinda & Paul shared their first dance, and the Maid of Honor & Best Man toasted (and roasted) the newlyweds. Between dinner courses, Melinda welcomed her Grandfather, and Paul welcomed his Mother to the dance floor for special dances. After dinner, they cut their cakes (Melinda surprised Paul with a unique "grooms cake"), and the dancing began. Half way through the night, Melinda tossed her bouquet, and Paul threw his football.....with Melinda's garter wrapped around it... a pretty cool twist on the average "garter toss"!
