Time To Ruffle Some Feathers

I just posted a new poll question for March. I'm curious to see what everyone really thinks about the either dreaded or beloved Chicken Dance. It probaby won't be your most important vote this year, but it is your chance to speak your mind and let the world know how you feel about this hot button issue! The poll question is located on the right hand side of the main page.

Client Customization

I'm currently taking suggestions on how to improve my Client Area. If you're currently booked for an event in the next year or so, please feel free to send me any suggestions of how I can improve your experience. Thanks!

Sample Playlists

I've included some sample playlists for a few of the weddings I've played this year. It's amazing how different each reception can be. In the past few years I've had some people who have really spent a lot of time customizing special music for dinner and cocktail hour which really gave their events a special touch. Check this new feature out under the music section.

Mother-Son Dance

It's so hard to find just the right song for the groom to dance to with his mother. I just stumbled across this great list on Wedalert.com. Some great suggestions here, make sure to ask Mom what she thinks too!

Sneak Peaks

I get wonderful comments back from my clients about how easy and simple it is to plan all their wedding details right here through my website. So I wanted to offer a chance for everyone to take a look around on how it works. I've created a sample login, so all you have to do is click on the 'client login' link to the left of the page. Use the date "March 18, 2006", the password is "demo". Feel free to poke around, change the different options, even choose a couple of song requests. Once you book your reception, I create a unique login for you to begin planning your own wedding details. ENJOY!

Tradition....with a Twist

Ok, this entry I promise not to talk about being busy (oops! guess I just did). ANYWAY, I'm really anxious to post about the reception I just performed at this past weekend. I do my best always to help customize every aspect of every reception to suit the wants and desires of every couple, and this past weekend that notion was put to the test. I was hired to perform for a great couple who were interested in incorporating some Jewish traditions and a variety of traditional Jewish music into their reception. With some great instructions from the Bride and Groom, I was able to find some wonderful Klezmir music to play during the cocktail hour, and was able to introduce the recently married couple into a warm circle of their friends and family while playing Havah Nagilah. It was truly awesome watching as the crowd lifted not only the newlyweds up on chairs, but their parents as well!

You could see that the many older relatives in attendance really appreciated these added touches to the reception and it helped make sure everyone felt included in the festivities. What was especially nice was how these details were added along with a rather modern selection of dance music throughout the evening. It was a wonderful day to be a part of and I'm honored to have had the pleasure in being there.

More and more couples are trying to find ways to make their special day 'different' than the 'typical' wedding day, take a note from this inventive couple, don't be afraid to look to older traditions that could make your day truly unique and new.

Needle in a haystack?

I'm working on setting up ways for visitors to my website to search my 80,000+ music database. Hopefully currently and potential clients will find this useful to determine what songs they'd like to hear at their events. Try using the search bar on the top of the page and let me know what you think.
