A couple weeks ago I attended a meeting in Omaha for NACE (National Association of Catering Executives) and they had an entertaining and very informative keynote speaker. His name is Peter Merry and he is known as a “Wedding Entertainment Director”, a term he coined himself.
A Wedding Entertainment Director does much more than play pre-recorded music and blandly make announcements. A Wedding Entertainment Director is responsible for professionally creating an unforgettable and entertaining reception that your guests will still be talking about for years to come. I wish this guy lived in Lincoln, he would be booked solid for years to come. He did say he would travel though…
He has authored a book; “The Best Wedding Reception…Ever “ (I scored a signed copy!). The book offers tons of ways to make your wedding day and reception flow smoothly (by hiring the right vendors, timing of events, etc.) and offers many ways to personalize your wedding. Here is one of his great ideas at work right here:
I loved his ideas and his energy. He kept everyone’s attention for the entire duration of his presentation, and I was disappointed when it concluded. You can imagine how entertaining the receptions he directs are!
If you are a client of mine and interested in incorporating some of his ideas into your own wedding, borrow my copy of his book for a week or two. We can start brainstorming and discussing ways to utilize his ideas in your wedding. You and your guests will be happy you did!
