Weddings with DJ Adam Moyer: January 2012

Melanie and David planned an intimate wedding ceremony and reception at The Bear Creek Mountain Resort in Macungie, PA. Most couples are hesitant to plan such a celebration in the month of January with the possible threat of a winter weather, but with temperatures in the mid 40's, they had nothing to worry about. Their wedding day began with a ceremony officiated by a close colleague of mine, Reverend Pamela Brehm. I provided a remote sound system for Melanie & David's ceremony, as well as the cocktail hour which was held in the foyer. Melanie & David's 80 guests consisting of family and close friends enjoyed dinner and dancing in the Woodland Ballroom. Here's how Melanie & David's Wedding day went:

Megan and Jason were such a fun couple to work with! They currently reside in Michigan, so most of our communication before their wedding was done via video teleconference and through email. Megan and Jason chose an amazing venue, The Merion Tribute House located on Philadelphia's prestigious Main Line to host their intimate reception. After exchanging vows at a nearby church, Megan & Jason's 140 guests traveled to the Tribute House to celebrate. Cocktails and hors d'oeurves were enjoyed in the Lounge and Legion Room before the guests entered into the ballroom for dinner and dancing. After formal introductions, first dance, blessing, and toasts, a special video was played for Megan & Jason which was created by their Bridal Party. Megan and Jason had also planned a huge surprise for their families and guests by having a Mariachi Band play during dinner. Megan and Jason met in Mexico while on a service trip, so having the band at their reception really meant a lot to them. Stuart G. Stanft Photography captured all the special moments, and I've included one of his collages below, Thanks Stuart!
