Thank You Ventura NACE!

May 24, 2007 in Seminars | No comments

On May 22nd, I was invited to give the seminar version of “The Best Wedding Reception…Ever!” at the May meeting of the Ventura Chapter of NACE (National Association of Catering Executives). What a fantastic group of wedding professionals! This nice headshot was provided by photographer and affiliate member, Edo.

My appearance at this local NACE event was arranged by Matt Graumann of Matt Graumann Entertainment, who is also one of the first members of the new Wedding Entertainment Directors Guild™.

I love speaking to NACE groups…so please feel free to contact me if you would like to schedule my seminar for your local chapter as well.

I just spoke with Naomi Hulme at The Dallas Bridal Show and she has invited me to come and present my book to the brides who will be attending her show on July 14th & 15th! This will kick off 5 days of great promotional opportunities for TBWR…E! in Dallas, Texas. To see what else I will be doing in Dallas that week, be sure to check out the Upcoming Events page.

Dallas has always been one of my favorite cities to visit…so I am really looking forward to this trip.

Ventura ADJA May Meeting…Record Turnout!

May 10, 2007 in Seminars | No comments

We had about 35 people show up last night for the May meeting of Ventura Chapter of the ADJA! I was told that was a record turnout for them. Hats off to Debbie McKenzie of Amazing Sounds for organizing and promoting a very successful meeting.

What a positive, receptive group of professional wedding entertainers!

I’ll be back up in their neck of the woods again on the 22nd of May to address the Ventura Chapter of NACE at their May meeting. NACE meetings are fantastic opportunities for networking, and the food is always top notch as well.

TBWR…E! site gets a facelift!

May 7, 2007 in Updates | No comments

It only took about 5 days working non-stop with very little sleep to pull it off…but the TBWR…E! web site now has a brand new look!

We’ve added tons of new content and we also finally have a working shopping cart so anyone who wants to can buy the book right on the web site!

All they have to do is click this button…

Buy The Book button

…or they can click on this button with the book cover on it…

Buy The Book Cover Image button

…and they’ll be able to make their purchase.

Our next chore will be getting the Bulk Order shopping cart set up along with the secure gateway for the Resources section so readers can begin registering online for their Bonus Chapters. We have some really cool stuff planned for the Resources section when it is finally up and running securely.

Be sure to check out the video on the Chapter Titles page. It will give you a virtual tour of the subjects featured inside the book along with the photos and the couple porifile pages. The animation was created using Keynote on my Mac ProBook. Keynote is truly amazing presentation software. I’ve been using Windows PowerPoint… but I converted to Mac primarily because of the rich features and animation effects offered by Keynote.
