Real events, real reactions
Club-tested DJs, learning weddings from the Modern Era team
A great party comes down to how the night flows, the way one moment hands off to the next so the room never loses its energy, and that is what MadMike and the Modern Era Weddings DJs teach. Pittsburgh's Best DJs is where they train the next generation of marquee private event entertainers.
Every DJ here already has years behind the decks, many of them in clubs and bars, so they know how to read a crowd and keep a floor moving. What they are learning with us is the wedding side of the job, the ceremony cues, the introductions, the toasts and the timeline, and they learn it by shadowing Modern Era weddings alongside the DJs who run them.
Our packages are priced below Modern Era Weddings for that reason. You get a DJ who can rock a party, with Modern Era's planning tools and a backup team behind them, and MadMike in the role of trainer. Couples who want one of the senior DJs will find them at Modern Era Weddings.
One package for the music, the moments and the party
You get the music, announcements and event sound together in our Pittsburgh packages, with prices starting at $1,595 and sitting below Modern Era Weddings. Our $1,595 package includes five hours of music, a DJ and MC, sound, wireless microphones, dance floor lighting and online planning tools, while the $1,795 package includes six hours and cocktail-hour music in a separate space, and the $1,995 package includes unlimited hours, ceremony music and microphones, and cocktail-hour music in a separate space.
The coverage you choose can reflect the moments that matter to you, and our package details set out the hours, ceremony and cocktail coverage, sound, microphones, lighting and planning support so you can compare the options with a clear picture of the night. Your quote also identifies any add-ons or fees that apply to your plans.
Your favorite moments, connected into one celebration
Your reception can feel like a celebration rather than a series of separate announcements, and our shared timeline gives your DJ and event team a plan for connecting introductions, dinner, toasts, dances and open dancing. We work with your preferences for announcements, meaningful songs and edits, and the moments where you would like room for flexibility.
Your music and the traditions that matter to your guests can have a place in the evening, and our online planning tools let you share those preferences and event details before your Western Pennsylvania reception. We can talk through the music styles and traditions together, with your choices shaping what belongs in the celebration.
The moments that make up your reception
- Cocktail hour brings together your background-music preferences and a volume suited to conversation.
- Your grand entrance pairs names and pronunciations with the song or transition you have in mind.
- Dinner music reflects your style, with announcements remaining easy for guests to hear.
- Toasts have a place for each speaker and a plan for passing the microphones.
- The first dance and parent dances follow the song edits and cues shared ahead of the day.
- Open dancing reflects your musical tastes and the approach to requests agreed with your DJ.
- The last song and send-off can have a planned closing moment if that is what you want.
The songs and spoken moments at the heart of your ceremony
Your entrance music, the words you want guests to hear and the song that carries you back down the aisle all belong to the same ceremony plan, and we can discuss the musical moments, speakers, guest seating and sound coverage with you. Your processional and recessional choices, song edits and preferred cues give the DJ the details to work from before the day.
A ceremony outdoors or in a separate room can be part of your entertainment coverage, and the PARTY LIKE A ROCKSTAR! package includes ceremony music and microphones. Our planning conversation covers power, speaker placement, weather contingencies and microphones, with the package details showing the coverage you are choosing.
Entertainment that fits your celebration and its setting
Your celebration can bring us to Pittsburgh or the surrounding Western Pennsylvania communities, and our service area generally extends within about a two-hour travel radius, including the North Hills, South Hills, Cranberry Township, Butler, Washington, Greensburg and the Laurel Highlands. We can discuss your particular venue and travel needs as part of the conversation about your event.
The way your room comes together matters to the party you have in mind, and early details about load-in access, setup timing, power, sound policies, indoor or outdoor backup space and dance floor placement help us discuss the sound and lighting plan. Those venue details give you and our team a clearer basis for planning the entertainment before you book the space.
Lighting choices for the celebration you picture
You already get dance floor lighting with every DJ package, and our optional enhancements give you more choices for the look of your room and the moments you want to highlight. We offer custom color uplights, moving lights, color tube lights and pin spots, along with projections, a custom monogram projection, low-lying fog, a CO2 cannon, DJ booth furniture, lighting programmed to music and decorative mirror balls.
The right additions are the ones that fit the celebration you picture, and we can talk through your event space and plans alongside the current add-on list and quote. Our conversation starts with how you want the room and key moments to look, without assuming you need every enhancement.
Music and hosting for your Pittsburgh celebrations
Your celebration can have music and a host whether it is a wedding or another occasion, and we provide DJ and MC services for corporate events, school dances, mitzvahs, birthdays and anniversaries. The event format, audience, music preferences and schedule give us a starting point for discussing the package that fits your gathering.
A different kind of party can still be part of the conversation, and we can discuss your DJ needs alongside the photo booth and lighting options available for your plans.
A clearer picture of the DJ behind your celebration
You can feel clearer about your entertainment choice when you know who is involved and what the booking covers, and a conversation about the DJ, package, planning process and backup coverage helps you compare the companies you are considering. Important details in writing give you something concrete to refer to as your plans come together.
