Testimonial



Dear Jeremy,

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank you for doing such an amazing bob DJing our October 17th wedding! I found it very easy to feel confident in your abilities from our first phone conversation all the way through to the end of our reception. I never felt like I had to worry. The night went along smoothly and seamlessly - never an awkward pause or silent moment the entire night.


I am still hearing compliments about you and the wonderful job you did. Everyone says " he played something for everyone!" The dance floor was packed all night which is exactly what I had been hoping for. You were never anything but professional, organized and personable. We really appreciate everything you did to help make our wedding a fun and memorable event.

Feel free to use us as a reference! You will always come highly recommended by us!

Cheers!

Amanda and Greg

Hi Jeremy,

I FINALLY have a chance to sit down and write a quick note to say THANK YOU! Music was one of the components of my wedding that was extremely important to me, and once we found you, I knew that we were in capable hands. I was worried that Justin would want to look for a more "cost-effective" option, but once he met with you face to face almost a year ago now, he was easily convinced! YEAH!

You were a pleasure to work with, and the end result was perfect. During dinner my sister leaned over to me and commented, "I love your playlist." I was thrilled to tell her that I never made a playlist... we left all the music choices in your hands, and it worked out perfectly! Our dance floor was never empty, and looking at all the pictures as they come in, I realize how much all of our guests enjoyed your work. I had a wonderful time as well, and tried to be on the dance floor as much a possible. Some of it is a blur, but I do have some great memories! And I finally had a chance to take a peek on your blog! SO crazy to see our pics up there after looking at so many other weddings on your site over the past year. Thanks for taking so many great pics!

I am sorry that we never really had a chance to say bye and thank you before we jetted off... so I just wanted to have a chance to send you a quick message! Thanks again, and of course, I will be recommending you constantly... Although I doubt at this point you need much more publicity!

Good luck with life!
yours,

Sarah & Justin - November 7th, 2009

Location: Carnegie Museum

I know I've said this many, many times before but the Carnegie is one of my absolute favorite places to work in Pittsburgh.

I was very sad to find out that Sarah and Justin's wedding would be the last one in the hall of Architecture. I feel very fortunate to be the last DJ to preform at the Hall of Architecture. The room is simply breath taking. . . It looks spectacular with my little point and click camera.







This is the view from my DJ table. . . astonishing. . . Where else can you find such a amazing back drop to a wedding?

Justin and Sarah's 1st dance.
Every once in a while I capture a picture that amazes me... this is one of them. . . I love it.

... the man of the hour... Justin. He did a wonderful speech to his friends and family.

Jeremy Ganss Productions Now Offering Live Music!

John Rokosz - Pianist

John worked with my business partner Doug at a wedding back on July 25th at the Renaissance Hotel. I distinctly remember Doug calling me the next day to gush about the great job John did. "Jeremy, he didn't play all the typical cheesy songs on the piano. John played songs from the Beatles, Ben Folds, Elton John, Tom Petty and many more current songs."

I wanted to offer my couples something extra they have always asked me about.
"Jeremy, do you know where we could hire a pianist for our cocktails / dinner music?"

John and I have been chatting for several months now and finally I would like to officially announce John Rokos as a part of Jeremy Ganss Productions.

Testimonial






Dear Jeremy,

Thank you so much for your fabulous services for our October 3rd Wedding at the Priory.




From the first time I spoke with you, I have been so impressed by your organization, kindness, and professionalism! As with planning any large event, planning a wedding can at times be so overwhelming and stressful - However, I can honestly say that after speaking with you, I never worries about the music and the "flow" of our reception because I knew that we had entrusted it with you!

Both Jim and I noticed that the dance floor was never empty or even anything less than completely full - and I think thats a true testament to the amazing job that you did!

Thank you again for all that you did and for helping to make our wedding day the best day ever!

Jeannie Starman
