Some people ask what makes me different?
I look at a reception as a live event for which there is no rehearsal and no second chance to do things over. Whether it's a grand entrance, introduction of toast givers or first dance, your formalities have to be done right the first time.
I have a plan for your wedding reception. A written timeline that you will get a copy of. My plan covers every formality and announcement made at your reception. Important details such as pronunciation of names and when events like cake cutting, toasts, first dance, etc. happen are covered. You can find out more here:

I have a proven method for picking great music that your guests will respond to. I provide each client with my Hit List, which is a compilation of artists, songs and genres that are crowd favorites. It's based on the dance floor response of all the parties I've attended. My Hit List an easy way to pick the right music.
