Did a reception at a nice local hall maybe 20 years ago. About an hour into the dancing, someone runs across the room and tells me to cut the music. I look up and by the bar, the Father of the Bride is on the floor and they're all over him trying CPR. Music shut down and EMS crew arrives in...

Brendan, a real and considerable concern. Still it's my feeling that I can control the floor.. I can also turn off the giant iPod at will so when I want dancing, I can concentrate on that aspect. Then when something else is happening, I can turn it on. There will be a photo booth and I'm sure...

Looking for feedback and suggestions for my idea. I have a sweet 16 for my Niece coming up next month in New Jersey. I was trying to come up with an idea that would be unique and interactive for the kids. I'm not sure if anyone has attempted this or if this is something you feel would work. Here...

Reviews do not always tell the whole story and that is something you may want to "aside" with any perspective Bride and Groom. Do you really want or desire to put up with the "ME, ME, ME" Bride and Groom, who doesn't care about their guests? Any review is only from their perspective and may not...

I was always under the impression that a Professional gets paid for the performance, while the Amateur works for nothing. Even Doctors/Surgeons who have a certified title vary greatly in skill and performance. The Surgeon who botched by cancer operation was a total buffoon. My lawyer said: "Tom...

I will investigate the merits of both.. thank you for your suggestions! Anyone else with programs I can evaluate?

I've searched the forum and only see where they reference programs to print out songbooks.. I'm tired of updating these books once they get beyond a certain size, it's nearly impossible to keep up with updating the lists and in some instances (not all), I'd like to be a little more modern with...
