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!!!
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!
Melissa & Jamey
Here is the video of Jamey and Melissa’s introduction at the Antler Club in Lucinda, PA
It is rare that I perform EIGHT HOUR receptions; this was a GREATeight 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.
Megan and Justin – October 4th, 2008 – Ridgway, Pennsylvania
North of Pittsburgh in the beautiful city of Ridgway, Megan and Justin had an amazing celebration. This is the second this year that Houserockers DJ has performed at a reception with a guest count of over 400 people. The wedding reception consumed the entire Alieo’s Cafe with guests seated in the 2 banquet rooms, a dinning room, and the bar area. I also got a chance to work with my good friend Steve at Paradise Video Productions. The reception started at 5 pm with dancing lasting until midnight. Thanks Megan and Justin!
Jackie and Ray – October 11th, 2008 – Brookville, PA
Jackie and Ray had a beautiful ceremony and reception at Pincrest Country Club in Brookville, Pennsylvania. Brad and Patty run the show at Pinecrest and do an awesome job.
Soooo, Jackie and Ray were looking for some unique ideas to incorporate into their wedding. They found a clip on YouTube of a DJ doing a “Sports Center” style introduction. That DJ just happened to be a very good friend of mine, Ken Petersen, from North Dakota. Here’s what we came up with for Jackie and Ray.
Jackie and I go back to her sister Andrea’s wedding. Both weddings had some things in common, but the most memorable is their brother’s play in a band, Sons of Brothers ,and once again they rocked the guests with some great covers and originals. It really was a night to remember!
This is Jackie and Ray’s review of my services on WeddingWire.
My husband and I have not had enough good things to say about working with Houserockers!! We loved EVERYTHING about our reception!! The introduction, the game, the props – WE LOVED IT ALL!!!!! You BRING the party!! I have seen it happen time and time again at my friends weddings and was elated that the celebration was just as awesome at our wedding!! We had a BLAST!!
Heather and Mike – October 11th, 2008 – Lucinda, PA
Fall Weddings and the Antler CLub go hand in hand. I didn’t realize I had over 8 weddings this year at the Antler Club. The best thing about the Antler Club is you can really make it unique and different with decor. Heather and Mike used white pumpkins as centerpieces and accents. They also brought in their OWN bar with a very unique top and used brown as their primary color.
I got a chance to work with my friends Aaron and Lucas from Identity Studio They do a great job! I am also in a wedding networking group in Venango County with Aaron and Lucas called Divine Dimensions.
Mike, Heather, and their bridal party arrived ready to party!!!
And Party They Did!!!!
………………Thanks Heather and Mike! ………………………
Jessica and Bud – October 25th, 2008 – Lucinda, Pennsylvania
Another great wedding at the Antler Club with Aaron and Lucas from Identity Studio
I have know Jessica’s dad, Tony, for many years when he used to be the store manager for the JCPenny’s in Clarion. We some good laughs talking about all the crazy things I used to make him and his employees do at their annual summer picnic.
Joel and Shawna – September 6th, 2008 – Freeport, Pennsylvania.
Joel and Shawna had an outstanding reception held at Laube Hall in Freeport, PA. I was not only the entertainment for the reception, but also produced a slideshow that was displayed on my 100″ screen and projection system as the cake was being served. Also, the mother/son dance was sung by a friend of the bride and groom, “Simple Man”, which brought down the house… and Joel and his mom too. I was able to provide technical support including a patch to wire in an acoustic guitar, stand, and wireless mic. Shawna’s Matron of Honor, Brittany, was one of my brides back in 2006. Unfortunately, my pictures were lost from this event, but here is a great picture of Joel and Shawna.
Jessica and Wesley – September 13th, 2008 – Clarion, Pennsylvania
A beautiful ceremony and reception was held at Anchor Village in Clarion, PA for Wes and Jess. Some unique ideas were used for decor at their event. My favorite was a cluster of Paper Lanterns over the dancefloor. Thanks Wes and Jess!
Jenessa and Andrew – September 20th, 2008 -Clarion, PA
Back to Back events for me at Anchor Village. Just look how completely different the room looks.
Jennesa and her mom decided that instead of using paper lanterns, they were going to make these really cool tissue paper poms. I provided the accent lighting to match the theme colors of their wedding. An awesome time was had by all!
Melissa and Scott – September 27th, 2008 – Lucinda, Pennsylvania
Jamie,
Thank-you so much for the best reception we could of ever dreamed of. You made the reception very entertaining! Everyone had a great time and we loved every part of it. You even got Scott to DANCE!
Breanne and Jay – August 2nd 2008 – Curwensville, Pennsylvania
Is that picture worth a thousand words or a million dollars? First, I gotta give huge props to my girl Joelle Watt who did the photography. You can find more pictures on her blog HERE. It takes A LOT to impress me, but the shots from Bre and Jay’s wedding are AMAZING!!!
People have often asked me …. “What is the most memorable thing you have seen at a wedding? That may have occurred at Bre and Jay’s ceremony.
The ceremony and reception were held on the grounds of Starr Hill Winery At about the half way point in the ceremony a car started rolling just to the side of where the ceremony was taking place and crashed through the vines. Thank god no one was hurt or this could have ended up being a very tragic day. It ended up being a car of one of the bridesmaids (who will remain nameless) and slipped out of gear and rolled down the hill. Kudos to the minister presiding over the ceremony, as once the car came to a stop, people were unsure of what to do and as cool as a cucumber, he quietly announced, “Everything looks fine…. let’s keep going.”
It was a great time and an event that will always be unforgettable!!!
Bre’s mom dropped me a note after the wedding.
Jamie,
I just had to drop you a line to you. You are fantastic and everyone said so. Thanks for helping make the wedding a great success. I of course will recommend you to anyone, but your name is already so well-known. It wouldn’t have been the same, if not for you.

Patrick and Beth – August 9th, 2008 – Indiana, Pennsylvania
Patrick and Beth had a really fun wedding reception at Rustic Lodge in Indiana, PA. This is the THIRD wedding I have done for Beth’s family and as I like to think… the best yet!!!
Rebecca and Brian – August 16th, 2008 – Clarion, Pennsylvania
A wonderful wedding celebration was held in the Courtyard at the Clarion Holiday Inn I also got to work with two good friends and guys I have known since I started Houserockers DJ, Mark Weeter Photography and Randy from Keepsake Video. You can see them both in this snapshot.
Rachel and Dan – August 23rd, 2008 – Lucinda, Pennsylvania
Rachel and Dan’s reception was held at one of the best places to have a large reception in the area, The Antler Club. And Yes, the place does have an antler chandelier.
Jill and JR – August 30th, 2008 – Cook Forest, Pennsylvania
Some clients you just click with right from the get go. Jill is an event specialist with the Pittsburgh Marriott North. I don’t know if there has ever been a bride with more event planning experience than Jill. The good part was she had a lot of ideas already set when we met and talked about putting together the reception. The GREAT part was finding a way to surprise a client, who has seen just about everything under the sun.
So what was the surprise…. well most people have seen a photo montage (slideshow) at a reception before… Baby Pictures, Growing Up and Shots of the Couple. The suprise was just as the last slide went black… 7 new images came up from the ceremony that happened only 3 hours prior. Jill was floored!
Big Thanks to Bill and Mandi from Biandi Photography for making my surprise a reality.

Here is a note I got from Jill after the wedding
Jamie,
Thank you for all of your hard work and personal touches you put into our wedding day. Our friends and family are saying that you are the best of the best in the business and we couldn’t agree more. During the planning process your professionalism was second to none. You made us feel that we were not only working with a vendor, but also a friend.
As most of you know I do a considerable amount of traveling each year to weddings that happen throughout Western Pennsylvania and beyond. Eric and Nicole’s reception was in “my neck of the woods” in Lucinda, Pennsylvania about 80 mile North of Pittsburgh. The wedding was held in the beautiful St. Joeseph’s Catholic Church with the reception following at the Antler Club. The Antler Club offers a rustic setting and backwoods charm. It is one of my favorite places to play because every reception I play there is lots of fun!
