PresidentModern Era Weddings Jan 2013 - PresentModern Era Weddings is a national full service entertainment planning, production, and documentaion company. Their mission can be summed up from the following text taken from their websites "About" page. "Our goal is to persistently evolve to stay on the cutting edge of our craft. Constantly bettering ourselves as artists is how we are able to perfectly design, produce, and document your event. In the years since our inception, we have grown to be one of the most award-winning wedding production companies in the US, and have evolved to provide 6 incredible services.We aren’t a big faceless corporation, rather a small boutique owned by artists, who have the privilege to plan, design, and capture incredible events all over the United States. We feel our service is more personalized and special to our clients than some of the larger wedding companies.We strive to focus on the specific art forms our services encompass, and only hire top tier talent and professionals who are passionate about their craft. Through the past 8 years we have discovered that if you love what you do and have fun while doing it your service will stand above all others. We strongly believe that this is the reason 70% of our weddings come from referrals from previous clients." -
FounderPittsburghs Circus Arts Collaborative May 2016 - Dec 2021In 2017 Mike Willis had the singular idea of providing the ultimate couple with the ultimate wedding.A wedding that would also be ... a circus. Being president and owner of both Modern Era Weddings and Pittsburgh’s Best DJs (two multi-award winning entertainment companies) Willis found he had, already in place, the resources required to make this happen - the very connections he had accumulated through years of involvement in Pittsburgh’s entertainment scene. Willis soon partnered with Shipwreck Asunder (a person responsible for the novel beginnings of a myriad local experience) and together they gathered as many of Pittsburgh’s circus performers as they could - put them in a room and asked, simply, “do you think you could make a wedding?”In that room, in 2017, at the offices of Modern Era Weddings sat a crowd of strangers. Strangers that could juggle, that could bend, that could breathe fire! Strangers that could stilt walk, that could spin 20 hoops on their body at once! Strangers that swung from silk straps and trapeze bars! Strangers that could stand 2 - no! 3! tall on each other's shoulders! Strangers who could shoot a flaming arrow from a bow as they stood on their hands and shot - with their feet!Strangers who, somehow in this chaotic world, believed enough in the power of love to create circus weddings and turn from strangers into family.Mike Willis is responsible for that.
