Wedding Wire Review #60
AMAZING job & thank you So very much! It was a total blast!
I LOVE working for couples that enjoy and cherish the time they spend with their family and friends. Stephen and Rachel had an amazing night. From the awesome confetti introduction, to the beautiful photo montages, and unique mix of modern and classic music, no one was left out of the action. The dance floor was on fire from the very first song of the night. AWESOME!!!
I had a chance to connect with Stephen and Rachel (and Rachel’s sister, Sarah), at Desiree and Adam’s wedding back in October 2010.
From that moment, I knew Rachel and Stephen were not just planning an incredible reception for themselves, but a celebration for their family and friends to make outstanding memories!!! Enjoy the Video!
Here is Stephen and Rachel’s Wedding Wire Review (#58)
Jamie was absolutely wonderful every single step of the way! He really took the time to ensure that we were happy with everything and that it was just perfect! He personalized the reception especially for us. I would highly recommend the confetti grand entrance! Everyone loved it and it was something that no one had seen before. It was exactly what we wanted, and more! Every single person raved about how wonderful he was. Jamie had everyone up dancing the ENTIRE night! It was the wedding reception I always dreamed of! I HIGHLY recommend Jamie as a DJ.
Special thanks to Sue at The Red Fern in St. Marys, Pa, Chris and Holly from Minds Eye Photography, and Steve from Paradise Video.

Chad and Nicole hosted a beautiful wedding reception in Freeport, PA at Laube Hall. Enjoy the Video:
When hiring a DJ, I knew that I wanted someone that would entertain my guests and keep the reception flowing. Jamie did exactly this at my wedding reception. The number one thing that my guests asked me was “where did you get that awesome DJ”. Jamie was very easy to work with and personable. I knew that I didn’t have to worry about a thing.
Jamie really got the crowd going and kept them dancing all night. He played all of the music that was requested and also threw in some of his own special touches. Jamie is a professional and an expert in entertaining. I’ve already provided his information to several guests at my wedding.
I loved working with Jamie and hope to see him at some of my friends weddings :)

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!!

Rob and Kalyn hosted a beautiful ceremony and wedding reception at The Red Fern in St. Marys, Pa. I LOVE seeing couples that really LOVE each other. When Rob’s voice cracked just a bit while reciting his vows or how Kalyn never took her eyes off Rob while they danced their first dance, love in action is just wonderful to see. The music Kalyn and Rob choose for their ceremony was personal, emotional, and perfect!
- Seating of the Mothers – You Raise Me Up – Piano Instrumental
- Bridesmaids – Hey Soul Sister – Piano
- Bridal Processional – Made Us One – Cindy Morgan
- Unity Sand – So Are You To Me – Eastmountainsouth
- Recessional – All I Ever Wanted – Ambrose

As you can tell from the video, reception was filled with dancing and everyone had an amazing time! I got to work with Eric Smyklo Photography for the second time this year. Him and his wife did a fabulous job! I even got to hang with my friends that just booked their June 2012 wedding with me a few weeks earlier, Eric and Roxy.
Thanks Rob and Kalyn for being such a loving couple!
Calling Matt and Taryn’s Wedding Reception AMAZING would simply not do it justice. The room was on FIRE with ENERGY from the introductions to the very end of the night. Taryn and Matt had a fabulous bridal party, a great family, and friends that came ready to party. It really was a night to remember. I got to work with my good friend Vincent from ElizabethVincent Photography. Check out his incredible work for Taryn and Matt. Also a special thanks to Mimi from the Doubletree Pittsburgh.
We had the absolute best day and all of our friends and family members have continued to compliment us on you. Thank you!!! -Taryn and Matt
Three sisters, Three weddings, and Jamie. Being a part of family celebrations over and over (and over) again, is really the best part of what I do. Above is Kelly (2002), Lauren (2007), and our beautiful bride Casey (2010). This wedding was special on so many levels. First, Casey and Ben wanted a mixed media presentation to their first dance and Casey’s dance with her dad. I designed a custom music video of their favorite photographs that played to the music for each dance. The real challenge was how to display the video. So instead of bringing in truss or a screen/projector, I simply placed the 42″ plasma above the fireplace on the mantel. A custom monogram was projected on the tv when no video was playing.
Second, Casey wanted to do funny photos as their guests favors to take home. I mentioned, why not bring in a photobooth, and a after a quick call to my friend Cap Capello, we were all set!
Cap talking with guests waiting in line for the Photobooth.
And Finally, I got to work with some of my favorite people. Brad and Patti from Pinecrest Country Club and Joelle Watt Photography.
I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun this reception was. I just makes me smile every time I think about it! Enjoy the video highlights!
