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 [...]
Finally caught “My Big Fat Fabulous Wedding” on VH1. I was amazed.
Total bill $550,000
$17,000 for flowers.
Band and DJ. Monogram lighting. Ice Bar.
They started with an outdoor ceremony with 445 guests. The only microphone they had for the bride, the groom and the officiant was a corded microphone on a stand. Sure it is super reliable. [...]
A friend of mine, Peter Merry, wrote a great new book on creating amazing wedding receptions. The book is called The Best Wedding Reception Ever!
It’s a great book. The first half is all about why you should pick a great entertainer. The second is chocked full of killer ideas that you might include in your [...]
Joe and Lindsay had a doozy of a wedding. The sheer level of musical talent in the room was awe inspiring. (I did a little quaking in my boots).
Joe, Lindsay and I created custom introductions for the wedding party. Joe picked out an intelligent, slightly eclectic mix of jazz both classical and modern. The dancing [...]
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 [...]
Recently, I had the opportunity to work with another entertainer.
Charles Rex of Chicago. He plays accordion and has for longer than I have been alive… Probably longer than my parents have been alive.
It was amazing to watch him work. He was an absolute pro. One minute he was getting ready to get setup. The next [...]

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.
Thriller.
OK-GO.
