Weddings

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. You want it to be perfect.. flawless! I am prepared to make sure your entertainment package is the least of your worries. I always take two of everything. No matter how good your equipment is, something unforeseen can only be prevented by having two of everything! I learned this working on cruise ships, where you have to have a backup, of everything!
Most important is your wedding music. For every event I make a special CD, just for you, with your wedding song, parents dances, introduction music, tympani roll (for that big introduction) and any special requests you may have. Having them all on one CD where they are easy to find is key, and having a backup of that CD is a must!
