Pocono Wedding DJ - Home
The Pocono Mountains, known also as the "Endless Mountains", covers four counties in Pennsylvania. This region is often referred to as " The Honeymoon Capital of the World ". It all started in the mid 1940's when Rudolf Von Hoevenberg opened "The Farm on the Hill", which was the first honeymoon resort in the Poconos. In the late 40's & the 50's an increase in the area of resorts targeted honeymooners. In 1963, Life magazine featured a photo of the nation's first heart-shaped tub that was located at Morris B. Wilkin's resort,now called "Caesar's Cove Haven." The popularity of the tub helped to stimulate the romantic appeal that the Poconos region enjoys today. Since then the area has seen many facilities come and go including Mt. Airy Resort and Pocono Gardens to name a couple.
Besides the romantic appeal, the Pocono Mountains provides numerous activities as well as beautiful scenery that over 200,000 honeymooners enjoy each year and in the tri-county area over 1,400 wedding licences are awarded. Newly married couples can choose from hundreds of the Pocono's banquet facilities where everything from the wedding dj to the food may be arranged.
