The Event Jeannie by C&G

This week we chat with Alexis Farah, Senior Associate Editor of the Daily Glow. Alexis started her career in beauty over 10 years ago while attending Bucknell University. She wrote a beauty Q&A column which inspired her to pursue a career in beauty writing. Before joining the Daily Glow she was the Associate Beauty Editor at Women’s Health Magazine. She’s written numerous articles reviewing the best beauty products, the art of fighting frizz and taming curls, how to get glowing skin in spite of long, tiresome days, and every beauty technique and dilemma inbetween! She’s not only a beauty expert in her professional life, but is the go-to beauty guru for all her friends – many of them brides-to-be and former brides. She’s interviewed multiple celebrities and now we get to turn the tables and pick her brain on all things beauty!

Summer Music Series continues with a DJ that's seen it all; Celebrity DJ David Chang!

This week we continue our Summer Music Series with another DJ spotlight. We will further discuss the art of the turntables and, more specifically, the art of DJing a wedding with celebrity DJ David Chang. NY Times, NY Magazine and other publications have written about him, and now it’s our turn to hear from him! He’s kept the party going for over 20 years and he’ll tell us how! Join us live on Wednesday, September 12th at noon!

The Summer Music Series this week focuses specifically on DJs. You’ve heard from music companies, musicians, and bandleaders, but have yet to hear from a DJ-only company. So this week we have a special guest from not just any DJ company, but the world’s first and leading DJ and music production learning center! We’ll be talking to Rob Principe, President and CEO of Scratch Music Group. The company runs the world-famous DJ school Scratch DJ Academy, which was co-founded by Jam Master Jay of Run DMC and boasts locations in New York, LA, and Miami.  Their DJs have spun for everyone from HBO to H&M, but now the group has created Scratch Weddings. We’ll find out how they’ve managed to transition so well into another new industry and wear so many hats! We’ll also hear about their intensive talent-screening process they call the “Scratch Test”, and we are happy to say the test works; we have used their DJs and they always knock it out of the park!  Join us live at noon on September 5thto hear their spin about hiring a DJ for your event.

Join us at noon on Wednesday August 15th for our exciting interview with the incredible guys of Burnt Sienna. This band brings energy to an event that truly mimics that of a live concert. There is nothing they can’t do—from Ray Charles and Michael Jackson to Rihanna, Green Day, and everything in between. In fact, Tony does such a great Shaggy that if you close your eyes you’d think Shaggy himself was there. Would you ever think a mash-up of Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer” and Notorious B.I.G’s “Juicy” would even be possible, let alone sound amazing? Check it out on YouTube if you have any doubts! They’ve rocked crowds all over the East Coast and left die-hard fans in their wake, but they are all ours at noon on Wednesday!

A legend in the music industry for a host of reasons, some of which you can't imagine, Dave's talents on the sax, as lead vocalist, band leader and music executive, all make him the perfect person for us to quiz this coming Wednesday, August 8th at noon.  Dave and his band the Professionals provide a twist on the traditional event band and he will tell us why and give us a different perspective on music at a wedding. Join us live - 12pm, 8/8.

Reggie Woods leader of the Reggie Woods and the Soul Street Band joins us live at noon on Wednesday, August 1st to continue our Summer Music Series conversation about bands; what makes them great, what makes a band leader awesome and just how creative can they get!  Reggie will tell us all about his bands’ unique performances, amazing repertoire and give us an insider’s view as a composer, saxophonist, producer and favored performer to the stars.  A star in his own right, listen in as he takes our music series to the next level.

As our 2012 Summer Music Series continues, we dance right into what it means to engage an amazing band for a night of entertainment.  Seasoned and exceptional band leader Harris Lane of Hank Lane Music Productions tells us all about his own group’s specialties and shares with couples what it takes to be an amazing band leader.  What kind of music should a band be playing?  What should the flow be?  And how do you keep guests at an event moving to the beat all night?  These are just a few of the scoops that we plan on having Harris sing the answers to with us on Wednesday, July 25th at noon.

Our Summer Music Series continues with a one stop band for anyone who wants Jewish music and everything else. Desperate to have Klezmer and U2? Need a great Hora only to rock it out to Pink later? Then this is the band for you to consider as Dov Katz of Neshoma Orchestra and SoZo Live shares his secret for giving you more than just one type of music and doing it well. Join us at 6pm on Monday, July 16th (yes, a different time for us) as we learn how you can find "Od Yeshoma" and "Let's get this party started" in one place.
