Play That Funky Music

There are times when clients tend to struggle with the decision to choose either a band, DJ, or sometimes both. The trend that you see more often is the band may play during cocktail hour and have DJ play during reception. One thing I have suggested to my clients is to utilize your dollars. We have hired a diverse band, that can sing at least two or more genre types of music. During the break or to get a good shuffle, we have utilized the famous IPOD. (of course) That has saved clients a whooping $600 or more. When selecting a band or DJ a few things to consider:
*Experience - how long have they been singing or DJing.
*Are the band/dj familiar with the venue?
*Are the band/dj properly insured?
*Make sure the band/dj is properly dressed.

I had an opportunity to meet a fabulous woman, Mrs. Susan L. Taylor. Susan Taylor is the former editor of Essence Magazine. She spent over 27 years publishing with Essence. She visited San Antonio to speak on The Power of Healing and Empowering for the Sistas in Business Power speaking series. Mrs. Taylor spoke on taking care of yourself, and body, before you can take care of others. Mrs. Taylor is now pursuing her passion for her foundation National Cares Mentoring Movement. She has a passion for helping African American children. I was privileged to assist her with the signing of her latest book All About Love.
