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!!

Alexis & Steven Celebrate at The Loft at Sweetwater

Alexis & Steven shared an intimate Ceremony and fun-filled Reception at The Loft at Sweetwater Country Club in Pennsburg, PA. This was my second time working at the Loft, and I hope to be back again soon! I provided music and amplification for Alexis & Steven's outdoor Ceremony overlooking the beautiful grounds of the golf course, as well as music during the cocktail hour under the patio. 

 After formal introductions of the Bridal Party, Alexis & Steven entered from the second floor of the loft and made their way to the dance floor where they shared their first dance. After dinner, they shared special dances with their parents, and then the party began! Special thanks to Caren Ann Geiges Photography for the awesome photos! Check out her blog to see more!

Their wedding day began with a lovely ceremony in the Monet Garden Room at the Talamore Country Club in Ambler, PA. The guest then enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeurves on the Mezzanine in the magnificent Conservatory Ballroom. Lauren & Tim Fair of Lauren Fair Photography are always a pleasure to work with, and captured many memories through out the night.

Christina & Justin's Wedding Reception at LaMassaria at Bella Vista

After a VERY busy fall "wedding season", I'm finally getting back into the swing of things....I had the pleasure of entertaining Christina & Justin's Wedding Reception at one of my favorite venues, LaMassaria at Bella Vista. Christina & Justin's Reception was not the "typical" Reception that most have experienced. Instead of having a "formal" sit-down dinner, the guests enjoyed appetizer stations and passed hors d'oeuvres. This allowed extra time for dancing... and also gave me the chance to start the party almost immediately! I had the pleasure of again working with videographers Amy & Jim from Abominable Productions.

Ryann & Daniel's Wedding Reception at The Columbia Station

Believe it or not.... this was the first wedding I've done at The Columbia Station when it wasn't raining! After a long span of hot and humid (and rainy) Saturday wedding receptions this year, the weather has finally turned into perfect "wedding weather". Ryann & Daniel's wedding day was actually the first time I got to meet Ryann. She has been living in Boston, so most of our communication was done via email and telephone calls. After a wedding ceremony at a local church, Ryann & Daniel's 210 guests consisting of family and friends traveled to Robert Ryan Catering's Columbia Station to celebrate. The guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres while Ryann, Daniel, and their Bridal Party posed for pictures taken by Joell Gramacy. The guests then found their seats in the ballroom, and we proceded with formal introductions, dances, toasts and a blessing before dinner was served. Ryann & Daniel compiled a playlist of some "traditional" wedding classics including Jump 'N The Saddle's "Curly Shuffle" and Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline, and I also mixed in some newer songs. Whether I was playing an oldie or a top 40 hit, the dance floor was packed the entire night. Ryann & Daniel were a pleasure to work with, and I had a great time entertaining their guests!

On June 11th, 2011 Lee Ann & Frank shared their wedding day at LaMassaria at Bella Vista in Gilbertsvile, PA.

After the ceremony, Lee Ann & Frank's guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres downstairs, while Brad and the staff at LaMassaria setup for the reception.
