The bride and groom from the Best First Dance Ever have been found!
They were on Ellen today. http://ellen.warnerbros.com/2007/12/newlyweds_got_back.php
There names? Michelle and John Brubaker!
How much easier would this have been if the MC had said. “John and Michelle’s first Dance” or “Mr. and Mrs. Brubaker’s first dance”?
Not that hard… Much easier to remember in a once [...]
The Mystery is Solved
Oh Snap!!!
I’ve been Bamboozled! I was doing a Copyscape search on my web page. Two companies, one in Pennsylvania and another in Australia thought the stuff I wrote was good enough to just steal it without asking permission.
I have spent a considerable amount of time and effort trying to improve professionalism in this business. Sadly, it’s [...]
Just me, my love and my microphone.
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. [...]
The Best Wedding Reception Ever!
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 & Lindsay got married!
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 [...]
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 [...]
Where was the Youtube?
I went to the OK-Go / Fray show in Indy.
I felt sorry for the Fray. As soon as the sun set, a biblical plague of mayflies descended the lead singer caught one in the eye. The whole band must have dined on mayflies.
But back to my point.
OK GO is absolutely famous for their Youtube videos [...]
There is only one Entertainment and we are all a part of it.
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 [...]
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 the [...]
