Sam and Crystal – Scottish Rite Cathedral – New Castle, PA

January 1, 2011 No comments yet

Sam and Crystal held a beautiful winter snowflake themed wedding reception a week before Christmas at the Scottish Rite Cathedral in New Castle, PA.  To compliment their decor, I provided a Monogram Projection with a snowflake that was displayed on the dance floor.  A great bridal party introduction followed by an awesome first dance for over 300 friends and family was a fantastic way to get the evening started.  Take a look at the video:

A big thanks to the rest of the event team, Medure’s Catering and Matthew Hovis Photography. Here is Sam and Crystal’s Wedding Wire Review:

 Jamie was absolutely amazing! He followed all requests made by myself and my husband and knew exactly what music was keeping the dance floor full. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ! I love how the evening went and I owe it to Jamie for keeping everything moving. Thanks a ton for making my reception everything I could have asked for and more!

Sam and Crystal

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Jamie,
Kristy and myself would just like to thank you one more time.  I can’t tell you how many times we heard throughout the night that our wedding was the most fun they have ever had at a reception, and wanting to know who the DJ was.  You really put the exclamation point on a great and special day for us.  
Best Wishes,
Kevin and Kristy
Kevin and Kristy produced an amazing wedding reception in Johnsonburg, Pennsylvania.  From the introductions, to the guys doing the “Bad Romance” dance (yes guys), and even TJ singing his classic version of “You Belong To Me” by Taylor Swift, it was really a night to remember.  I even got to see my good friends Jill and Francis (10/09)  Check out the video:

Deven and Megan hosted an awesome celebration for 200 of their closest family and friends.  There was non-stop dancing from begining to end with a little ZUMBA from the girls thrown in as well.  Thank you so much for the amazing time Deven and Megan!

Jamie,

Deven and I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for giving us such
a wonderful wedding reception!!  We have not talked to one person who did
not rave about “how wonderful the DJ was” and we completely agree!  It was
wonderful to be able to relax and enjoy the evening, as you had everything
taken care of!  Everyone was dancing and the props were hilarious!  Thank
you again for helping to make our wedding so memorable!  You are truly an
incredible DJ and we greatly appreciate your service!!

Thank you again!!

Trudy and Fred hosted an amazing wedding reception at Cross Creek Resort in Titusville, PA.  Their guests were treated to so many cool ideas including a visual projection of the autumn leaves falling behind the head table, candle light accent lighting, a monogram projection at the entrance, and so much more. The dancefloor was on fire from the beginning to the very end of the night!  Check out the video:

Here is Trudy and Fred’s Wedding Wire Review:

 Jamie was amazing from start to finish. He assisted me with all of my ideas for over 2 years. I have so many people telling me that my wedding was one of the most fun they have ever been to. So many people made a point to call me or write and tell me how wonderful the DJ was at the wedding. I even have a friend who told me if she ever gets married, she will be hiring Jamie. Jamie went above and beyond, and continues to do so even after the wedding. My day would not have been so perfect in so many ways if it were not for Jamie. He is a true professional and a great friend.

I even got to see my friends Scott and Samantha.  (October 17th,  2009)

Jamie,

Good morning. Just got back from the Caribbean and wow, what a change! Kelly and I wanted to thank you for making “our day” the most memorable day of our lives. From the very beginning, you have been a joy to work with and have always answered any questions that we had. Your creativeness and passion for what you do clearly shows through in your work. I can’t tell you enough how many people came up to Kelly and I said the DJ really set the mood and it was the most fun they have had in years. Several people have said that you were the best DJ they have ever seen and trust me, these people go to a lot of weddings! Being the bride and groom, you are pulled in a thousand different ways on your wedding day but Kelly and I both did not have to worry about one thing….a great time at the reception! You kept everything moving along and right on track so that the evening was memorable not only to us, but for every person in that place. We cannot thank you enough for your dedication, time, effort, and professionalism. I have and will continue to recommend you everyone that I talk to. Simply put, you are the best in the industry. Thank you again for eveything you’ve done for Kelly and I. It was perfect!

All the best and stay in touch!

Travis & Kelly

 

Travis and Kelly celebrated with over 250 of their closest family and friends at the Antler Club in Lucinda, Pennsylvania.  They included accent lighting (purple) and a continuous photo montage.  I was also able to help Travis with a surprise for Kelly.  Watch this video:

I can’t say it enough that this reception was really great.  Some beautiful heart felt moments, great energy, and family and friends that came to wear the dancefloor out!!!

Thanks Kelly and Travis

Jen and Matt held a beautiful wedding reception at DuBois Country Club.  The room looked amazing!!!  The night reflected their own style and taste with a very smooth introduction to Ray LaMontagne’s “You’re The Best Thing”, to some Prince for the bouquet and garter toss.  One of my favorite parts of the reception was when the entire room came to the dance floor to sing “American Pie” as the unofficial Inzana Family Wedding Tradition.  Take a look at the video:

Here is Jen and Matt’s Wedding Wire Review:

Jamie is the best of the best. He made our wedding perfect down to the very last detail. It was by far the most fun wedding I have ever been to (even if it was my own). The amount of energy he radiates throughout the crowd is outstanding, there was never a dull moment, and the dance floor was completely full from the first open dance to the end of the night. His experience and professionalism took a tremendous weight off of our shoulders and helped us to enjoy our wedding just as much as everyone else did!

The dance floor was really packed from the begining of the night to the very end!!!

Thanks Jen and Matt!

Jamie,
Brian and I wanted to thank you sooo much for our wedding September 4th! We had the best time and so did all of our guests, I can’t tell you how many people, friends and family, said that was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and everyone commented on how much they loved you! You did a great job and we couldn’t be happier. One of our friends asked (as a joke) if we could get divorced so we could have another wedding! The music, lights and props were so much fun and we just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated what you did. We will recommend you to everyone we know!  Thanks again!!!!! 
Leanne and Brian
Brian and Leanne planned an exciting celebration.  They entered the Presque Isle Ballroom at the Avalon Hotel to “I Believe In A Thing Called Love” which really set the tone.  Their song list for dinner was themed around The Beatles (Cirque du Soleil – LOVE).  The mix included classic Beatles tracks with current covers.  I can’t tell you the number of compliments I received (even though it was Brian’s idea) throughout dinner.  Here is just a sample:

Harry and Beth held a beautiful outdoor reception at The Inn at Edgewater Acres in Alexandria, PA.   Beth’s brother Ray happens to be one of my longtime  best friends.  Ray is a successful photographer in Altoona, Pennsylvania.  Who would of thought, two guys that met as freshman  20 years ago would both be in the wedding industry?  I don’t think either of us “majored” in weddings.

Jamie and Ray of Ray Kauffman Photography

People ofton ask me what is the coolest thing you have seen at a wedding?  Well, this ranks pretty high up the list … A canoe filled with alcohol as the bar.

Ok, so that was a picture at the end of the night when the canoe was EMPTY…. but still,  what an excellent idea.

Harry and Beth planned a reception that had a little bit of everything, energy, love, humor, romance, and of course everyone had FUN!

Here is Harry and Beth’s Wedding Wire Review:

Throughout the planning process and right up to the very end of our reception, Jamie was simply awesome!! We didn’t have to worry about a thing! He had our guests up and dancing right after dinner, and kept the party going all night! In fact, even after we extended the reception, our guests wanted to take up a collection to keep Jamie rockin’ the house even longer! We could not be happier! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Here are more GREAT PHOTOS Ray Kauffman shot at the wedding.  Thanks Harry and Beth!!!

Jamie provided endless entertainment and fun throughout our wedding night. He came up with an original and exciting entrance and was right there helping out with things that we didn’t even realize needed done! He got all of the guests dancing and having fun–even the ones who didn’t think they wanted to dance, but ended up having a blast once they got out on the dance floor. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone!!! Thank you for making our wedding day special and so much fun!

It is rare that I perform EIGHT HOUR receptions;  this was a GREAT eight hour reception from beginning to end.   The simple fact that Jamey and Melissa are wonderful people and really embraced the moment  made this reception awesome!  The couple enjoyed all of their family and friends out on the dance floor and set the tone from the very beginning;  they came ready to party!  Thanks Jamey and Melissa.

Hey Jamie,
We wanted to thank you for the amazing job you did to help make our wedding reception wonderful. Words do not come close to say how GREAT of a job you did. You went above and beyond what was expected of you….from cutting the cake to having Bobbie help with the YMCA, or just keeping the guest involved it was fantastic! Guest continue to talk about how great the DJ was! We are so blessed to have such a GREAT DJ help us start our new life as one.

Denelle & Ryan

When Denelle contacted me about her upcoming wedding she had an interesting request.  When I first started Houserockers DJ over 15 years ago, my first employee was my sister Bobbie.  She had an outgoing personality and was finishing her teaching degree.  While student teaching the 5th grade at Redbank Elementary, Bobbie put a group of kids together to perform our Village People YMCA skit for the annual talent show.  Guess which 5th grader was in that group….. yup….. Denelle!

Here is Denelle’s original inquiry:

I have special request. I know that she does not normally do this but I had a great student teacher in 5th grade named Miss Simpson, and I was wondering if she would be willing to come back and DJ for my wedding?

She was a huge influence in my life and taught me the YMCA with a group of students and we won the talent show.  It would mean the world to me to have her DJ my wedding!

I still get a little chocked up reading that, so, I made a phone call, and of course my sister came out of DJ retirement.  We had a lot of fun with a few other guests in attendance that mentioned that Bobbie had performed for an event for their family.  And of course, they brought the house down with the 5th grade re-enactment of the YMCA!

The wedding reception was lots of fun with Ryan and Denelle’s family really enjoying themselves.

And Yes…. The DJ did cut the wedding cake.  Bobbie and I pitched in and cut the 5 tier Uzi Pastries Cake after the caterer fell a little behind with the dinner.

Thanks Ryan and Denelle!
