Pittsburgh Wedding DJ - Houserockers DJ - Receptions That Rock!

Megan and Jeff – Holiday Inn Beaver Falls

admin — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 17:06:55 +0000

Megan and Jeff held a fantastic wedding reception at the Holiday Inn – Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. Megan and Jeff choose the Houserockers Standard Package. Megan’s mom, Karen was at a wedding I performed at a few years ago and had to have me for her daughter’s wedding. Megan and Jeff set the tone for the night with their entrance music with them arriving to “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy”, which led them to cutting their John Deer Tractor cake, and we wrapped up the night with “Big Green Tractor. No it wasn’t a country themed wedding, as I played a wide variety of music, but it just goes to show you that with some well placed music, you can really personalize an event to reflect a bride and groom’s taste and style. It was really a fun reception with lots of interactivity, props, and group dances.

I also got to see my friends Ryan and Kristen who I did their wedding back in July of 2009. Here is a link to their blog entry.

At the end of the night, I look for a few clues to see if people really enjoyed themselves. Here is one of those clues:

Thanks Megan and Jeff!!!!

Jen and Clint had a beautiful celebration at Laube Hall in Freeport, Pa on November 7th, 2009. Jen selected the 6 hour premium package which includes 6 hours of performance time and 2 options. Her options consisted of accent lighting and a monogram projection. Here is a note I just received from Jen after the wedding.

Jamie,

We wanted to thank you so much for the amazing job you did at our wedding!!! It was more than we could have ever asked for! Even with an older crowd, everyone was having a great time! Everyone couldn’t say enough nice things about you and everything you did! We LOVED the Newlywed Game, it was such a great way to start the evening! To this day, almost three months later, everyone is still talking about what a great time they had! We have so many great memories, many thanks to you :)!

Thanks again for everything!

1-8-10 Erin and Pat NYE Wedding Reception

admin — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 06:40:24 +0000

Erin and Pat planned a magnificent wedding reception atThe Casino at Lakemont Parkin Altoona, PA for New Years Eve. I usually don’t share client specific agendas but through a collaboration of Pat, Erin, Doug Simon from The Casino, and myself, we came up with something unique and original that really worked for a New Years Eve wedding celebration.

Cocktails
Introductions (guests to be standing around edge of dance floor or near entrance) (I Gotta Felling / Let It Rock)
Open Dance (2 fast)
Cake Cutting:
Toasts:
Patrick’s Welcome – First Dance: At Last – Etta James
2 slow dances
Dinner – buffet / bar closed / vocal jazz dinner music
Father/Daughter: My Girl – The Temptations
Mother/Son: Unforgettable – Nat King Cole
Step-Father/Daughter: Wait For Me – Bob Seger
OPEN DANCING
Bouquet Toss
Dollar Dance

It’s rare to have any dancing before the meal let alone fast dancing, but this really set the tone for a fun action packed NYE. The slow dancing following Patrick’s speech and the couples first dance really added a more classic feeling to the reception. The best part was all the guests loved it and participated with lots of dancing.

Here is the last 4 minutes of 2009 leading into the new year.
