On the Go!

It's amazing how long a month is.

It's been quite a whirlwind month that I must apologize for not posting here recently. I haven't even been able to send out the February newsletter!

Anyway, here we are in March, and I've got some catching up to do.

Last month saw two wonderful weddings, of which I will put together a full write-up hopefully soon. Suffice to say, as in all the weddings I perform at, those two weddings involve a lot of preparation and rehearsal in order to ensure that they run as smoothly and stress-free as possible, and because they ran almost back-to-back (both on the same weekend), it was much more challenging. Congratulations to AIMEE & JUSTIN, and PRESCOTT & HIDEMI!

The weekend after was my high school BFF's wedding. (Yes, guys have BFFs too, although we generally don't use the term...) Although I attended as a guest, I knew the DJs and had heard good things about the MC. Everything went as smoothly as possible. To LLOYD & MARGARET, congratulations! (It's about time!)

Last week and into the weekend was spent traveling for a combination of both business (attending classes on entertainment on the mainland) as well as spending time with family.



And of course, here and there, I'm taking care of my current clients, meeting with new clients, and providing the fulltime customer service I'm known for. Most people just see the five hours of the wedding and think "That's all he does." In reality, those five hours are just the tip of the iceberg. When you take into account all of the time involved in making sure that each wedding is well-rehearsed, prepared, and personalized, you realize that it's much more than five hours of party. By the time your wedding arrives, I would have already invested 40-60 hours of my time into the success of your celebration. But the result, after seeing the smiling faces of my brides & grooms at the end of the night, reminds me why I still do it.

A hui hou,
