Renaissance Hotel Wedding - Happy Bride and GroomEmily and Garrett’s elegant affair was epic in a million ways, but still managed to retain a distinctly refined air that’s difficult to find in most weddings of this size. The venue ceilings were sky-high, the bride’s train was ample, and the dance floor was bumpin’! To help make this wedding a smash hit, the couple employed the help of The John Parker Band.

The talented team at Araujo Photography was gracious enough to give us these breathtaking photos of the bride and groom’s big day. Take a peek!

Our very own John Parker was featured in Whirl Magazine– Greater Pittsburgh’s Premier Lifestyle Magazine last month!

 

“Parker is the picture of style and class as both an entertainer and an emcee”, boasts the article, referencing John and his band’s performing at thousands of events!

John discusses the importance of personalizing music to each wedding; it’s not always about “new” music, but rather about meaningful music– performed by a great wedding band, of course!

 

After being married at Sacred Heart Church, Jessica and Adrian, along with their family and friends, celebrated at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History’s Music Hall Foyer. This amazing venue was the perfect backdrop for the Bride and Groom.

Guests enjoyed the music of a pianist (and a surprise dance!) during cocktail hour in the Balcony Foyer before moving to the main hall. With Pittsburgh’s top wedding band and event performer John Parker and The John Parker Band providing awesome entertainment, there was surly no shortage of special moments for Brian Reid of Reid Portraits to capture (a sampling of those photos is below) Jessica and Adrian’s guests danced all night!

A venue this majestic is pretty much all you need for a great wedding. Fun family, friends & great music doesn’t hurt either!
