Dramatically Different Results: Marcello Completes The Professional Process Training with Peter Merry

How does an award winning entertainment and event production company stay on top of the latest industry trends and continue to offer their clients a fun, unique and memorable experience for their once in a lifetime celebration? Simple.  They put in a lot of time and effort when it comes to continuing education.

Case in point, Peter Merry, the author of the new wedding bible, The Best Wedding Reception… Ever!, was in town to deliver his Professional Process curriculum.  My hand still hurts from taking so many notes.

Peter is considered one of the top Master of Ceremonies in the business. When my wife and I got married five years ago, we flew him in from California to make sure our event was elegant, yet festive and that our guests attended a “celebration with style.”  And boy did he deliver.  Since then, Peter and I have remained good friends- and fortunately for my clients, Peter has been a non-stop source of extraordinary ideas to implement into MMP’s social and corporate events when the need arises.

Peter is also the President of the Wedding Entertainment Directors Guild, an elite group of 20 entertainment professionals from the U.S and Canada who specialize in wedding receptions. I’m proud to be the only member from the tri-state area who qualified.  It was a rigorous application process which took over 3 months to complete.   My acceptance and current membership helps MMP’s discerning clientele distinguish our level of service and talent from all the other available alternatives- and to justify the significant difference in investment; Peter’s hands-on guidance and educational content has proven to be a priceless source of validation to this end.

I look forward to introducing all of the advanced level techniques I learned regarding entertainment, decor,  hospitality and event production concepts at our upcoming design sessions and celebrations.

It’s funny, The Professional Process made me feel like Luke Skywalker hangin’ with Yoda for two days of Jedi training.

“There are plenty of DJ Entertainment companies out there.  They all play music and they all make announcements…  but with dramatically different results.” – Peter Merry

You be the judge.  At your convenience, compare this, or this, to that. 🙂

The Best Wedding Reception, Ever!- Ask Peter Merry

Peter Merry recently completed a literary effort that’s sure to get him on Oprah’s couch in the near future during one of her famed “book club” segments.  The title says it all, The Best Wedding Reception , Ever!.

I  found it to be such a great source of ideas and concepts for brides planning their reception that I’ve given them all a copy.  Every catering manager that we work with was sent a copy of the book as well.  The response has been so overwhelmingly positive that it deserved special mention here on our blog.

This excerpt gives you a good idea of what to look forward to…

If you could only choose three words to describe your dream reception… WHAT 3 WORDS would you choose? If one of your top choices was…FUN …then this book was written just for you!

For years the bridal magazines, wedding planning books, and wedding focused television programs have explored every facet of wedding celebrations except for one…the FUN. Brides are being told to shop for “music” and then when their wedding reception begins, they suddenly realize that what they really needed was talented and appropriate entertainment.

In this ground breaking book, Peter Merry will shine a light on the subject of creating fun and entertaining wedding receptions.
