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 DJ who [...]
Tim & Jennifer
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 [...]
Indianapolis DJs
Dial Jon 317.328.0827 Disc Jockeys 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?

Toasting Wedding Toasts
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 [...]
Wedding Crashers…
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 [...]
Youtube your wedding!

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 [...]
The State Dinner In Honor Of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
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. [...]
Are you getting what you want?
Meghan O’Rourke wrote a great piece on the escalating costs of a wedding. http://slate.msn.com/id/2165581/?GT1=10034 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? Bring together your odd collection of friends and families Swear solemnly in front of God (or [...]
Respond to this ad and you might be DJ’ing your own wedding.
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 [...]
The picture on the mainpage.
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.
