For the Grooms
We recently received an email complaining that most wedding advice is targeted towards brides. In the interest of fair play, here is some helpful information for our future grooms.

The five most essential words for a healthy, vital relationship: "I apologize" and "You were right."

Also, in the event you forget her birthday, feel free to use this one:
"How can you expect me to remember your birthday when you never look any older?"

Lastly, for now, the most effective way to remember your wedding anniversary is to forget it once.

Come what May
Our 2008 "Busy Season" is officially underway. To kick things off, we'd like to share The Top 5 Things NOT To Do At A Wedding/Reception submitted by a faithful client:

  • 5) Bring McDonald's to the reception.
  • 4) Making 25 toasts to the bride and groom because you love champagne.
  • 3) Holding up numbered cards to rate the bridesmaids walking down the aisle.
  • 2) Having too much fun putting the garter on the woman that caught the bouquet.
  • 1) Kissing the bride too passionately in the receiving line.

Thanks Dale.

The Official Booking Season is Almost Over
The booking season is that part of the calendar when performances may be fewer but bookings for the upcoming off seasons are plentiful and often at reduced rates.
Yes, you can still negotiate for these bargains in the next few weeks (the end of April to be exact).
Call us and see what we can do for you.

PHOTO SLIDE SHOWS ARE UP
Well, we've started anyway. Check out our photos/slide shows page and see it's humble beginnings. Over time, we will expand them and create more. So please send us your photos and we will include them. We prefer that you email them but check out our contact page for all options. This could be a real fun section but it will depend largely on your submissions.
Hey, thanks for dropping by.

Website Update
Thank you all for commenting on how much you like the functionality and style of our website.

We are still working on our online photo gallery. It will include slide shows of our musicians, DJs and other staff members as well as clients and their memorable events.

We'd love to receive more photos even as we we're building it. So if you're a current or former client, by all means, send us a photo and we'll notify you when we open the gallery.

"How?", you say? See our contact page .

We now accept on-line payments via credit cards and paypal accounts
You can now make convenient, secure, on-line payments from this site using a major credit card or a paypal account. Of course we'll still continue to accept cash and checks but on-line commerce is here to stay so we've offered this convenient approach for all our loyal customers.

Drop by and chat with us.
When we're not working weddings or other private events, you can usually find Linda and myself DJ-ing at Gurney's Inn on Friday and Saturday nights. For those a little more Westward, drop by "On the Waterfront" in Patchogue for late Thursday night Karaoke. I'm usually there.

Keep in mind the performance style and music selections are dictated by the clientele and management of these establishments and may not be the cup tea you're looking to achieve at your event. Rest assured we adapt to all situations appropriately.


For information on any of our other performers, use our contact page to get in touch with us.
