Are you thinking about putting a camera on every table? We have the latest technology and 20 cameras available for your wedding or event. We use the Kodak brand cameras that are easy to use and each SD Card will hold up to 100 images. Your guests can shoot pictures all night long.  When you buy the throw away cameras the cost is $7.00 each plus $7.00 per camera for developing.  Each throw away camera holds a maximum of 36 images and when you print you could have only 10 good images while you pay for all 36 to be processed.  Don't forget no digital zoom, low quality flash and finally no reviewing each image on the throw away cameras.  The digital camera allows you to take almost endless images and you can sort, edit and delete anything you don't want.  The digital variety include high quality images, great flash and a small screen to review each shot.  When your event concludes we will collect the cameras and put all of your images on 1 easy to use CD or DVD and you will have all the shots so you can choose which to print and which to discard.

Please give me a call if you would like to add the digital cameras to your wedding or event.  The cameras run $15.00 each and this includes fresh batteries, the SD Card and a final CD or DVD of all images from the event.

On March 17th, 2009 myself and another entertainer from the team, Marc Brooks, attended a full day seminar that featured Peter Merry.  A total of 11 DJ's from all over Oregon and Washington attended the meeting.  It was a chance to learn more about Peter's marketing and sales approach.  His methods have allowed him to consistanly provide the highest level of entertainment while also commanding a price over 5 times the industry average.

I find that it is invaluable to be associated with and network with other peers and wedding professionals. The interaction allows me to have better personal relationships with these vendors, but also to keep up with the latest trends and styles. It doesn't hurt that these meetings are held at amazing venues with incredible food and decorated perfectly. It is always fun to get together and learn something new that I can take back and apply to my everyday business.

Back on September 14th, 2005 I had the pleasure of attending a MarBecca Workshop. It featured Mark & Rebecca Ferrell who are former DJ/Entertainers and now full time DJ Advocates. They travel the country teaching other DJ/Entertainers the skills they used to create a demand for their talent. They were once the most sought out DJ/Entertainers in the LA area often commanding 3 times what other DJ/Entertainers were receiving in their market. 

The workshop was one intense day of training.  The idea was to learn how to deliver a Love Story about your client.  We were taught many different ways from interviewing to writing and delivering an emotional and powerful story.  The end result is a short love story delivered by your Entertainer to a captive audience.  The story takes you through the journey of your happy couple and how they arrived at The Wedding Day!  The Love Story always brings laughter and tears of joy to everyone in the room!

Thank you Mark & Rebecca!

Back on October 18th, 2007 I had the pleasure of attending a MarBecca Workshop. It featured Mark & Rebecca Ferrell who are former DJ/Entertainers and now full time DJ Advocates. They travel the country teaching other DJ/Entertainers the skills they used to create a demand for their talent. They were once the most sought out DJ/Entertainers in the LA area often commanding 3 times what other DJ/Entertainers were receiving in their market. 

We were tested and analyzed on our skills as a Master of Ceremonies and realized how challenging it is to be a truly talented Emcee.  We were shown many different techniques to improve our performance and better understand the role we play at Weddings.  The workshop showed me that you can never be prepared, practiced or polished enough.  We can always improve and we should constantly seek out ways to develop new skills.

Thank you Mark & Rebecca!
