Honoring the Philadelphia Police


In our industry it can be very easy to lose sight of what’s really important in the grand scheme of things. To us, there is nothing more gratifying than helping our clients have the wedding of their dreams. We dedicate our time and energy to making sure they and their guests have an amazing time dancing the night away. At this time, we think it is important for us all to take a step back to thank and recognize the men and women who dedicate their lives to keeping us safe.

Last Friday night, February 20, we were honored to be able to take part in the Philadelphia Police Highway Patrol Reunion at the Southampton Room in Northeast Philadelphia (P&P Caterers). The event was not only a reunion for past and present highway patrolmen and women, but it was also a fundraiser to benefit the families of fallen officers, Sgt. Pat McDonald and Officer John Pawlowski. This event was planned months in advance and just so happened to fall on the date of Officer Pawlowski’s Funeral. Many of the officers attending had been up since 4:30 a.m. preparing to lay their fellow officer to rest, but they all came together, and found the energy to throw an amazing event.

We felt it was our duty to help the Philadelphia Police in anyway possible. We uplit the room in blue to add to the overall look and a number of our staff members and DJs attended the event.








There was a lot of money raised for the families and it seemed as though everyone had a great time given the circumstances.



We were also honored to work with the Highway Patrol last October to put together a tailgate benefit in honor of Sgt. Pat McDonald. We helped to raise over $3000 by raffling off two Phillies World Series Tickets. You can view the video here.

Day in and day out the men and women of the Philadelphia Police Force leave their families to protect us from the terrible crime in this city. We are very thankful for everything that they do, and hope more events can be arranged in the future so we can continue to show the Philadelphia Police how much we appreciate what they do.
