Courtney and Steve’s Philadelphia Wedding
Last month I had the opportunity to DJ the wedding of Courtney and Steve. The wedding was held at a venue called “Trust” in Old City Philadelphia. Many years ago, Trust was the building where the reality show “The Real World” was filmed. Since then, it has become a popular venue for weddings and will... Read More
On Carly Rae Jepsen
Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” will likely be remembered as one of the catchiest tunes of the summer of 2012. As a lover of pop music, it caught and held my attention from the first listen, but like any successful pop tune it continued to grow on me, seeping into my ears causing me... Read More
Valerie and David’s Cairnwood Wedding
I began my June of 2012 as the Wedding DJ for the wedding of Valerie and David, held at one of my favorite venues – Cairnwood Mansion. Just as the Philadelphia Phillies call Citizen’s Bank Park their home field, I could almost refer to Cairnwood as my home field, where I get the opportunity to... Read More
Making a Wedding DJ Commercial
We were recently presented with a unique opportunity to broadcast a TV commercial for our Wedding DJ services. It was the kind of offer we couldn’t say no to, but there was one obstacle… We had only two weeks to produce it. Now, as a DJ Entertainment Company, we are essentially in the “production” business,... Read More
Frank and Terri’s Bucks County Wedding

James Brown “The One” by RJ Smith
A good friend once asked me, “What is unique to the signature structure of the music of James Brown?”, and my answer was, “The One”. My friend – a musician – raised an eyebrow, surprisingly impressed with the swift precision of my answer. I suppose if you’re a well versed music person, it’s just as... Read More
Amber and Andrew’s Bucks County Wedding
A Bride and Groom who make a wedding and a marriage together often embrace their commonalities, but when a Bride and Groom are introduced into their reception wearing the colors of their rival sports teams – Flyers and Penguins – they are embracing their differences, which is what this Bride and Groom did. Coincidentally, this... Read More
Snoop Dogg to Snoop Lion… “Reincarnated”
If you haven’t already heard, the artist formerly known as Snoop Dogg went to Jamaica, smoked copious amounts of high-grade marijuana, and came back “reincarnated” as Snoop Lion after being dubbed as such by the “High Priest” (oh, I bet the priest was high). I know, I know, sounds unbelievable, but it’s true – or... Read More
Gina and Tom’s Philadelphia Wedding
It was the end of May 2012 when I had the opportunity to DJ the wedding of Gina and Tom. The wedding took place in the Northern Liberties section of Philadelphia at The Cescaphe Ballroom. A couple weeks prior to the wedding I had the chance to meet with the bride and groom, to go... Read More
A Beatles Journey: Beatles Covers II
Two years ago, along the way on my journey of Beatles discovery, I published a similar post titled “Beatles Covers”. Unbeknownst to me at the time, I was merely scratching the surface. The songwriting team of Lennon/McCartney, George Harrison (and two for Ringo) collectively wrote over two hundred songs. Their output of self-written hits is... Read More
