When We DJ, People Dance
A Throw-Down at Oak Lodge
When we learned Kira and Steven’s wedding was going to be at Oak Lodge, we couldn’t wait for the big day. Granted, they were probably a little more excited than we were, but we had our sights set on that venue.
Only an hour outside of Pittsburgh, Oak Lodge is definitely a different atmosphere than many of the venues we frequent in the city. But as wedding DJs, it’s our job to be professional masters of ceremonies at any and every venue. Plus, we always enjoy getting to head out of Pittsburgh from time to time.
Upon meeting Kira and Steven, we knew right away we were in for a fun night. We had a great time going over music together and deciding all the nuances of the wedding day. It’s important to us to make those connections with all our couples. That’s how we’re always able to deliver the best results to our couples. It’s about making those connections.
Why Hire A Wedding DJ
A True Master of Ceremonies
There exists one main debate when it comes to planning for wedding entertainment: band vs wedding DJ. There are a couple of pros to getting a band, we won’t deny that. But we are firm believers that there’s no better MC for a wedding than a DJ.
Something else we firmly believe is that you should know everyone who’s involved in your wedding. We’ve even written extensively about how to find the vendors who would be the best for your big day.
That philosophy extends to all of our couples also. We believe in working directly with every bride and/or groom. You should be able to get a feel for the voice on the other end of the mic before your big day.
You DJ should be fluent in not only crowd control, but also your genres of music. That’s why we spend so much time making sure we get to know our couples and get a feel for their vibes. Then we’re able to seamlessly mix the music they select and a few surprises that get everyone on their feet.
One of the main things we love about DJing is seeing the dance floor go crazy. Whether it’s an awesome song that guests may have forgotten about or the surprise that happens when you flawlessly switch genres unexpectedly, seeing the guest’s reaction is something you can’t beat. That’s also something you can only get with a wedding DJ.
Variety is the spice of life, and it’s also a leading cause of dance floor crowding. Having a wide variety of music is the best way to ensure everyone has their moment on the dance floor, from you and your dearly beloved to your great uncle.
That’s something you can only get with a skilled wedding DJ.
A Dancing Crowd
Some of Our Best Mixes
Though we frequently provide Pittsburgh wedding services other than DJing, this was one where we were just the DJ and MC of the night. When we’re only providing DJ services, we make sure to go 120% and make it the absolute best dance party on planet Earth. Which, we’re happy to say, is exactly what happened with this wedding.
Everyone (us included!) was sad then it was time to wrap things up and head home. We had people on the dance floor the whole night and had a blast entertaining them. We’ll admit it, DJing is a fun job. Getting people on their feet and seeing them have the time of their lives is a feeling that can’t be beaten.
Final Wedding Thoughts
In closing, we just wanted to say thanks. Thanks to Oak Lodge for being so accommodating and so helpful and an even bigger thanks to Kira and Steven for letting us share their day here. We can’t thank them enough for letting us be a part of their wedding days. We always have the best time DJing at this amazing venue.
We also just wanted to say that we love what we do. Being a part of the best day of a couple’s life is something you can’t get in any other line of work. From wedding photography and videography to wedding DJing and MCing, we’ve been involved in many capacities in many, many Pittsburgh weddings. With the coming year, we’re looking forward to being involved in many, many more!
