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!

Melanie & David's Wedding at the Bear Creek Mountain Resort

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.
