Debra & Timothy - May 30, 2009

2009-06-18T19:19:00.039-04:00

Debra & Timothy could not have asked for a better day to get married, especially with an outdoor ceremony to take place. Their entire event was held in Prospect, PA at a facility called The Atrium. The combination of the outdoor ceremony area, greenhouse atrium, and spacious ballroom provided the perfect surroundings for their celebration concept. Immediately upon arriving into the facility you are captured by the greenhouse cocktail area.

The outdoor area was another main attraction providing the backdrop for the ceremony and some great photo opportunities for Tim & Debbie. The guests also enjoyed the variety of outdoor seating areas to relax and enjoy the festivities.

And just in case the weather did not cooperate, The Atruim had a back-up indoor ceremony location ready to accommodate if needed.

Here are some great on location photos of Debra & Timothy after the ceremony had taken place.

Pink was used as the accent color for the event showcased in the programs, table settings, flowers, cookies and the delicious wedding cake. Kristen McKivigan - Banquet Manager at The Atrium - and her staff really did an amazing job on the room.

Their favor for the evening was a donation to the USO on behalf of the guests in attendance. Our groom Tim and many of his close friends provide all of us with comfort and safety serving as U.S. Marines. Thank you all.

Debra and Tim also payed tribute to soldiers that gave their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.

After our toasts, blessing and dinner Timothy and Debra shared their first dance as husband and wife to Brad Paisley's She's Everything.

Debra then shared a dance with her father Jack.
Tim McGraw - My Little Girl

Tim then followed sharing a dance with his mother Linda.
Kenny Rogers' Through The Years

And then Tim wanted to honor his grandmother by sharing a moment with her on the dance floor.
Perry Como - Fly Me To The Moon

And they danced the night away!!

2009-05-27T13:52:00.048-04:00

Alison and Rich reserved The Summit Inn Resort for their reception celebration. Laurie Smalley - Sales & Catering Manager - welcomed us to the resort and directed us to the load in area. This was our first event at this location and we didn't know what to expect. It was truly amazing, and HUGE! The ballroom can accommodate up to 500 guests. With a count of 250, Rich and Alison's guests had plenty of room to relax and enjoy the evening. The views from the front decks are breathtaking.

In the ballroom we were then greeted by Amanda - wedding coordinator at The Summit Inn. Amanda offered her assistance and gave us a brief history of the 102 year old facility.

Here are a few historic photos from their website

Laurie, Amanda and the rest of The Summit Inn staff set the room to perfection.

Stephanie & Steve - May 23, 2009

2009-05-27T12:54:00.015-04:00

Stephanie & Steve held their reception at the Westwood Golf Club in West Mifflin. We were very excited to return to the club to once again work with Vicki and her staff. This is a great venue with a ton of options for photographs. Stephanie & Steve took full advantage of the weather by making their way to Kennywood after the ceremony to break away for some unique photo opportunities. After arriving at the Westwood, they then used the beautiful golf course as the backdrop of their final photo shoot.

Stephanie's choice of Tiffany Blue for her decor instantly captured your attention as soon as you entered the room.

Our DJ Set-Up for the event...

The wedding cake was also accented in Tiffany Blue

With every glance around the room the color just "Popped!"

Erin & David - May 16, 2009

2009-05-21T15:12:00.036-04:00

Erin and David hosted there reception gathering at the beautiful Hilton Garden Inn at Southpointe. 2 years prior to their wedding Erin and her mother Margie attended the annual bridal show held here and reserved our services. After all of the hard work and planning Erin and David's special day had finally arrived. Always with a smile, Melissa Furlong - Sales Manager - from the Hilton Garden Inn pointed us to our set-up location. This was our first event at the Hilton since their recent renovations to the facility.

Our dj set-up for the day..

After a team meeting....

Erin and David's intentions for the reception decor began to take shape...

A unique favor we had never come across
- LOTTERY TICKETS -
and the guests loved them...
What a great idea!

Wedding portraits from Erin and David's parents and grandparents greeted their guests at the entrance.

The card box was another big hit, complete with it's
own bride & groom, and a stretch limo.
I later found out that the card box was also "GREEN"
made 100% from recycled materials.

Another great decorating idea,
"Rose Pedals"

easy to incorporate and can tie
together the entire room...

After the introductions Erin and David began the evening with
their first dance...
Song - Rascal Flatts - Bless The Broken Road

immediately following they cut the cake
Song - Andre Bocelli ft Celine Dion - The Prayer

Bo then gave his best man's toast
Intro Song - Styx - Renegade

Followed by our maid of honor Maureen
Intro Song - Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Erin and David decided on a more intimate dinner setting by having a "sweetheart table" instead of a traditional bridal head table.

Coming out of dinner Erin shared a dance with her nervous father Jim
Song - Natalie Grant - I'll Always Be Your Baby

David then took the floor with his mother Peg
Song - LeAnn Womack - I Hope You Dance

The night then belonged to the guests

Event Songs:

Bridal Party Entrance: Black Eyed Peas - Lets Get It Started
Bride & Groom's Entrance: Faith Evans - Love Like This

Erin & Bryan - May 9, 2009

2009-05-12T20:54:00.034-04:00

Erin and Bryan's wedding reception took place at the Hyatt Regency Hotel at the Pittsburgh International Airport. It had been a few years since we had an opportunity to be a part of an event at this location so we were very excited - and nervous. Not nervous because of the reception but rather getting to the reception. Erin had informed us earlier that week that we should expect delays due to the Pittsburgh fair weather tradition known as "Parkway Construction." Taking her advice we left way in advance on our journey and arrived in plenty of time to prepare for their guests' arrival. Once we loaded in to the ballroom Lauren Soriano from the Hyatt gave us the background details about the room set-up and informed us that herself and Stacey would be involved throughout the evening if we needed anything. Lauren and her staff worked diligently to ready the beautiful & spacious ballroom for the celebration. Below their hard works speaks for itself....

Erin and Bryan used famous couples names throughout history to arrange their guest seating. Naming tables is a great idea.... and gets your wedding decor the exposure you are looking for.

Cocktails were held in the hallway area. Guests mixed and mingled to the sounds of the live pianist as they enjoyed a drink of choice and a quick bite.

The stainless steel table tops paired with sleek spandex table skirts gave the area a sense of elegance with a hip and modern feel.

Black & White was the theme of the event and Brian and Erin used it to there advantage throughout the entire planning process.

From their placecards...

To their card box...

To the amazing wedding cake...

But Erin and Bryan felt that a little touch of color couldn't hurt...

We also created a video montage from Bryan and Erin's photographs and presented it to their guests on one of our 10ft rear projection video screens.

The bridal party each received a custom engraved champagne glass as a favor.

And speaking of champagne, how about our toasts..

Toast by our Best Man Costa
Intro Song - Beastie Boys - Girls

Toast by our Matron Of Honor Kimberly
Intro Song - Ton Loc - Funky Cold Medina

Blessing by Erin's father David

Once dinner had concluded it was finally time to dance the night away!!

Melanie & Gary - April 25, 2009

2009-05-03T12:45:00.032-04:00

Melanie & Gary's wedding reception took place at The Candlelight Room in Washington, Pa. A picture perfect day in April with temperatures in the 80's, who would have thought? The owner - Tracy Holovak - greeted us as we arrived at the facility with open arms eager to provide anything our company might need. In my opinion the elegant country charm shines through making this venue a must see event location. My personal favorite is the appeal of the brick floor.

Alterio's Catering Service arrived around the same time and once we had completed our set-up we had an opportunity to speak with their staff. A great group to work with and did I mention the food was fantastic! The buffet ran quickly and the service of the head table was first class.

Another successful cookie table!

And everybody loves a gift...

Toast by our Best Man Marty
Intro Song - Christina Aguilera - Ain't No Other Man

Followed by our Matron Of Honor Heather (Marty's Wife)
Intro Song - Chaka Kahn - I'm Every Woman

Then it was time to cut the beautiful wedding cake.

Melanie and Gary then shared their first dance as husband and wife.
The title track for there dance was Rascal Flatts' The Day Before You.

Also for the evening we had three parents dances.

Melanie and her father Ed danced to
Steven Curtis Chapman's Cinderella.
Per Melanie's request our company re-edited the song eliminating the verse about prom and getting right to the point with the wedding verse.

Gary then followed sharing a moment with his mother Linda.
Gary reserved Eric Clapton's classic Wonderful Tonight.

And to cap the parents dances off Melanie and her mother Denise graced the dance floor to
Faith Hill's There You'll Be.

And of course the guests had a opportunity to show off there dance moves as well
