Rock Goes Disco… Experimentation or Sellout?
When I was but a wee lad in the late 1970s, a great musical war was being waged between two opposing camps over the genres of Rock and Disco. Disco was the upstart newcomer, and Rock was the incumbent ruler defending its hallowed title. As a kid just discovering music, I was drawn to both... Read More
Kristin and Joe’s Huntingdon Valley Wedding
September 1st of 2012 was a very busy day for me and the rest of the DJ team here at Cutting Edge Entertainment. In fact, I am sure it was a busy day for most Wedding DJs, photographers, caterers, and other wedding vendors all over the Philadelphia area. It seems a lot of couples were... Read More
A Great Wedding DJ (Commercial)
Back in August of 2012, we decided to try our luck with some TV advertising. It was a unique opportunity to buy some airtime with Comcast on the program “Say Yes To The Dress”. We tapped our former employee Justin Guarini to be our on-air face, and as it happens we also provided the Wedding... Read More
Lori and Kenny’s Bucks County Wedding
My first blog of the New Year is about a wedding I did back in September of 2012. I met Kenny and Lori only a few short months prior to their wedding. We sat for about an hour in our office going over what they are looking for with the music for their reception. Like... Read More
Setting the Stage for Bar Mitzvahs and Bat Mitzvahs
Literally… A few years back, Brian Toner and his team at Eventions Productions built some lighted LED stages that we here at Cutting Edge have had our eye on for quite some time. We liked these particular stages for a few reasons… They were made in America, they were sturdy and well put together, but... Read More
Alexis and Tristan’s Cairnwood Wedding
September is always an extremely busy month for Cutting Edge Entertainment, and this past September was no exception. Cairnwood is by far one of my favorite venues; I like the staff, the venue, and the fact that it’s located only a few short minutes drive from our office. However, the thing I like most about...

Rosie and Paul’s Bucks County Wedding
This year has been full of so many awesome weddings, and one of those was the reception of Rosie and Paul. The wedding and reception were held at the Northampton Valley Country Club in Bucks County. Besides playing music for the party, I also provided sound for the ceremony. The good thing about having the... Read More
The Truth About Led Zeppelin
The cover of the December 2012 issue of Rolling Stone magazine reads “Jimmy Page Looks Back”, with a larger than life image of Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page wailing on his guitar. I skipped right to the article and was pleased to see that it was written by David Fricke, Senior Editor at Rolling Stone. As... Read More
Mary and Matthew’s Manor House Wedding
Mary and Matthew were one of the most memorable – and perhaps one of my favorite – couples whose wedding I got to DJ this past summer. I enjoyed working with them because they were so excited for their wedding reception and also very easy to get along with, and enthusiastic couples always make for... Read More
A Beatles Journey: Elton John and John Lennon
The adage “A picture can speak a thousand words” refers to the notion that a complex idea can be conveyed with just a single still image. For me, the image above – taken by photographer Bob Gruen – encapsulates that notion. It was back in August of 2009 when I opened Bob Gruen’s book John... Read More
