Each week, we feature wedding music recommendations from Scratch Weddings, the nation's leader with the best wedding DJs at affordable prices. This week's post comes from drummer-turned-DJ Jim Pierson, who puts the rhythm behind his masterful DJ sets. A Philly native, DJ Jim Pierson has spun major events for the NFL and is a favorite at exclusive clubs like One at Revel and Recess. When it comes to weddings, Jim takes time to find out what songs will light up the room on his clients' big day. "Every wedding is unique, and it's my job to build a musical rapport with not just the couple, but all of the wedding guests. I can mix in many different genres along with current hits to ensure all the guests are up on their feet and having a good time.”
