Reception Entertainment Director

What are the chances of upper 60 degree temperatures on a March 20th day in New England? Slim?! None?!! Well, when the weather turns this nice at this time of the year, you have to take full advantage. So, when Cristina made the last minute decision to move the Ceremony outside, we went with the flow and moved our Ceremony Sound System outside to the Gazebo area at The Water's Edge in Westbrook .... it was the right thing to do. After an apt Ceremony Recessional of U2's "Beautiful Day", Cristina & William went to the beach area for pictures - again taking full advantage of a gorgeous sunny day. Meanwhile, we entertained the guests with Cocktail Hour (and a half) music ranging from Michael Buble and Anita Baker to James Taylor and Barbra Streisand. Cristina & William First Dance was the classic Linda Ronstadt & Aaron Neville "All My Life" followed by a Parents & Siblings Dance, Martina McBride "There You Are". The dancing start...

An Irish Blessing. May the road rise up to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face And the rain fall soft upon your fields, And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand Happy St. Patricks Day Copyright © 2010 Atmosphere Productions™ LLC , All Rights Reserved.

Boston police said today they feared thousands of people will descend on the Hynes Convention Center later this week for a bridal show – only to discover the “show” was an Internet scam. “What we found out is that there is no show,” Detective Steve Blair said at police headquarters this afternoon. “It was a scam.” According to police, someone set up a bogus website and created accounts on Twitter and Facebook, all to promote “The Boston 411 Bridal & Home Show 2010.” The promotions claimed it would be held at the convention center March 5-7. Blair said today an estimated 5,000 people paid at least $15 a person and that about 200 businesses also paid fees, ranging from $350 to $4,000. The payments were made through PayPal, police said. Police said they began their investigation last week, but decided to hold a press conference today to alert the victims about the scam so they could cancel any travel plans they had for coming to Boston. Police set up a special e-mail account they...

I have been a fan of Saxman Marty Q's brand of Smooth Jazz for a very long time - from his "Unspoken" collection and even 1997's "Sentimental Christmas" shows his mastery of the saxophone. As a local musician, his live performances are a pleasure to see and with his friendship notwithstanding, this talented New Englander deserves to be ranked alongside artists like Najee, Richard Elliot & George Howard. His new collection "Table For 2" brings him to those realms. The title track, written by Marty Q, "Table For 2" is already getting favorable reviews in the local press, gathering steam on Billboard and is currently in rotation on Rich Edwards "SmoothGrooves Radio Show" on GFM 96.6 FM in Gloucester, England. Producer Chris "Big Dog" Davis has put together a fine production of sweet sounding lush grooves, sprinkled with some neat vocals. My favorites being the stand-out "I Need You" featuring Phil ...

Did you know that 70% of all of the engagements will happen on during the Christmas Holidays, New Year's Eve or Valentine's Day? Is it that the gentlemen are just lacking for originality, or maybe the romance of the season is just too good to pass up? The result of the 70% of those engagements is that thousands of newly (excited) engaged brides flood the bridal show market each year, which is why, in New England, we have these shows predominately from January - March. A bridal show is the ultimate way to shop for wedding services. Unlike a magazine or web site, you can see, touch, sample, and question everything wedding related at these events! Now first and foremost, please remember that the vendors at these bridal shows have paid to be here! They can pay $2000 and more for a booth, just to have the chance to fight the other vendors to romance you for your business. The majority of v...

"DJ Sam from Atmosphere Productions was the star of the show at my wife's surprise 50th birthday party at the Spa at Norwich Inn, which recommended him highly. He was very helpful in planning the music for the event, and he put together a perfectly balanced musical program that worked as well for the cocktail party as it did for the late night dancing. My wife enjoyed the music so much that she never left the dance floor! Sam made an outstanding contribution to the success of a special event, and I wouldn't hesitate to book him for a future event. Thanks again. You really did a great job." Carl Lovitt Copyright © 2010 Atmosphere Productions™ LLC , All Rights Reserved. Become a fan on Facebook
