DJ Tony A. – Southern Hospitality
Hey Ya’ll, Craig—“The Blog-Master”—has been getting on me for a long time to write something about myself for the Cutting Edge blog.

The Independence Seaport Museum Gala
The City of Philadelphia has a new venue… or perhaps I should say and old venue with a brand new look.

Caesar Salad and Your DJ
Whenever we meet with a bride and groom and review the agenda for their wedding, we always make it a point to ask what their courses are. I think one of the most puzzling reactions I ever get is when I ask “Will you be having a Caesar or garden-style salad?” I’ll get that look... Read More

N.A.C.E. Philadelphia at The Loews: My First Program
Once upon a time – around 2004 – I joined a very prestigious organization called The National Association of Catering Executives (N.A.C.E.). I remember my first N.A.C.E. event well.

The Philadelphia Sweet 16 DJ Machine
Often times when I speak to clients who are planning a Sweet 16, they will inquire about a DJ with years and years of experience. In most cases this would be quite a reasonable request, unless of course they were so many years that the DJ was an old dude. Take it from me,... Read More

Within twenty four hours, his studio manager... Read More
