I can’t believe how much traction this video is getting. If you don’t know what I am talking about click here.
The first dance mis-direction magic.
With the right tools, putting together the music is pretty simple, but doing it poorly will ruin it for everyone who comes after you. Get a good [...]
When I initially met with Tim and Jennifer they gave me a heads up that Tim’s sister was helping out with the planning.
Fast forward to a month before the wedding…. It turns out that Tim’s sister is actually a movie producer and director. Most recently a documentary called “By the People” which got picked [...]

Working with Professional DJs
Before your DJ plays the first song at your event, do you know what he (or she) has done to prepare for your event? The common misconception is that a DJ shows up, plays for 4-5 hours, then goes home. What most don’t realize is the experience the DJ [...]
Apparently, I am still on the “do unto others” soap box. You may not be planning a “crashed” wedding, but you have probably selected a best man and maid of honor. The same should apply for best man and maid of honor during toasts.
So here is the pledge and promise. Yes, I will coach the [...]
I have mixed feelings about “Wedding Crashers” on NBC. Pushing the envelope and challenging social norms candid camera style can be pretty entertaining.
Last week, they crossed MY line. They had a buxom, attractive “crasher” flirting with a 29 year old socially inept single guy. I don’t think the bride and groom were being very good [...]
I have always been a student of pop culture. This has to be my favorite new trend. It’s the ultimate personalization.
One of my friends just posted this video of a customized Father/Daughter Dance. http://www.youtube.com/amospro
It has already been featured on Myspace.
Lest you think this is a one off. There are a ton to consider.

President George W. hosted his first white tie event in honor of Queen Elizabeth.
I am a big fan of etiquette. This event amounts to pretty much the high water mark of formal events in the US of A.
For those of you playing at home.. White Tie is a step up from Black Tie. White Tie [...]
Meghan O’Rourke wrote a great piece on the escalating costs of a wedding.

My favorite line is this…
“lured by the knowledge that at least we’ll get a good party out of it. “
Is that the goal?

It’s May 3rd. A busy wedding season is just getting started. Guess what? DJ companies are looking for DJs. Check out this ad on Craig’s list. http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/csr/300844946.html
Maybe they aren’t trying to fill dates they over booked. Maybe they won’t be sending out untrained DJs to a wedding.
Is the company you hired scrambling to find a [...]
That is me on the right. The bride and groom are Brian and Rebecca.
I am way too close to the camera, by comparison (and in reality) Brian and Rebecca look GREAT!
That is what I do… Make my clients look great.
