Pittsburgh Golf Club Wedding ~ Susie and David

Susie and David’s wholesome Sunday morning wedding was a sweet family affair that used understated elegance to its utmost advantage. To conjure up an excitable atmosphere during their reception, they employed the help of the Dreamscape wedding band!

The talented Pittsburgh photographers from The Brand Studio captured many wonderful moments of this wedding in their pix, which you can browse through below!

The bride and groom were wed in a traditional Jewish ceremony beneath a beautifully simplistic white and blue chuppah adorned in garlands. John Parker Bands’ string trio played beautiful classical music as the bride made her grand entrance arm-in-arm with both her mother and father. The ceremony proceeded beautifully, punctuated by the traditional groom’s breaking of the glass.

Following the ceremony, guests gathered in the Pittsburgh Golf Club’s main living room, which had been tastefully decorated with simple white table clothes and tall orchid centerpieces. After guests enjoyed their delicious buffet-style lunch, the newlyweds shared an endearing first dance and cut their gorgeous wedding cake. This delightful reception was all overseen by Pittsburgh Golf Club’s Director of Events, Karen Bertram, who made sure that the event went exactly as planned.

Reception Soundtrack

First Dance: “You Are The Best Thing” by Ray LaMontagne
Father/Daughter Dance: “Sunrise, Sunset” from Fiddler on the Roof
Mother/Son Dance: “You Are The Sunshine Of My Life” by Stevie Wonder
Songs of Note: “Hava Negila” for the Hora

This crowd began to show their true vibrance when they dove head first into the Hora. This traditional dance excited the crowd, who put the bride and groom on chairs and lifted them up above their heads. And this was only the beginning of the party! Guests had a ball getting down on the dance floor to the great Pennsylvania wedding band Dreamscape!

West Overton Barn Scottsdale Wedding ~ Maggie and Joe

Maggie and Joe’s laid back wedding had a distinctly intimate feel thanks to the modest ‘family & close friends’ guest list and sweet hand-selected decor. For this celebration, the wedding band Dreamscape put on one heck of a show for the newlyweds and their guests!

Tiffany, one of the talented founders of TJZ Creations, provided us with some delightful photos of this charming wedding for you to enjoy.

Both the ceremony and the reception took place inside the West Overton Barn, a rustic venue. It was the perfect canvas for the antique decor that the bride and groom had in mind! The ceremony space was beautifully simplistic, decorated with only a few rows of wooden chairs and some flower boxes.

In the reception area, guests kicked off the night by signing bottles of anniversary wine for the newlyweds instead of a guest book. The old wooden beams of the barn were dripping with festive lights, giving the room a romantic glow. English-style flower arrangements, old newspaper table runners, book stack centerpieces, and window pane seating charts contributed to the distinct vintage feel of the wedding!

Pittsburgh’s coolest wedding band played sensational melodies that gave guests reason to move, keeping this dance party running late into the evening. Even the kids joined in on the fun!

Maggie and Joe’s bash proves that bands are not just for huge weddings with many hundreds of guests! If you want to bring a little swagger to YOUR wedding reception, then Contact John Parker Bands.

Power Center Ballroom Pittsburgh Wedding ~ Antoinette and Drew

Antoinette and Drew’s classic wedding bash was served with a side of bling and a little dash of fun! The newlyweds’ high-spirited guests practically shook the dance floor as they moved and grooved to the amazing John Parker Band!

Take a look through the gorgeous wedding photos taken by Studio Bash. The couple are sure to treasure these forever! The bride and groom were wed beneath the soaring heights of St. Paul Cathedral in Oakland. This majestic, historic venue really set the mood for the ceremony. From the towering altar to the intricate beading of the bride’s dress, everything about these nuptials was grand. Following the “I do’s,” the newlyweds and the other members of the wedding party made their way Downtown to enjoy an afternoon photo shoot in Mellon Green Park.

The reception took place at Duquesne University’s elegant Power Center Ballroom. Head of staff Karen White made certain that everything looked exactly the way the bride and groom wanted! The room was a vision of white and crystal, from the refined centerpieces to the cream fabric seat covers. Rhinestone-encrusted flower vases and blingy cake stands brought some subtle glitz and glam to the otherwise classic decor.

Reception Soundtrack
Bride & Groom’s First Dance: Ray Lamontagne’s “Hold You In My Arms”
Father & Bride’s Dance: “Speak Softly Love” Waltz – from The Godfather
Mother & Groom’s Dance: Van Morrison’s “Days Like This”

“We had a blast at the wedding.
Many people complimented us on your band!
We are talking about how we get some folks together
to hire you for another party someday.”
– Groom Drew

The best wedding entertainers in Pittsburgh kept the dance floor pumpin’ until the lights came up and it was time to leave! Under the dictionary definition of “Fun,” you’d be sure to find a picture of this crowd.

Sheraton Station Square ~ Amber & Simon

When Amber’s sister was married ten years ago, she hired Dreamscape to play at the wedding. The family was so impressed that, a decade later, they coordinated this bride-to-be’s wedding date around the popular Pittsburgh wedding band‘s schedule!

Newlyweds Amber and Simon were married in an elegant ceremony at St. John Capistran Church. The bride glowed in a white chiffon and lace gown with a long white veil while her bridesmaids surrounded her stunning blue satin floor length dresses. After the ceremony, the couple invited their family and friends to celebrate their marriage with a reception in the ballroom of the Sheraton Station Square Hotel!

We are grateful to photographers Sean Blair and John Pascarella of The Brand Studio, who shared these fun photos from the couple’s big day:
