Being The Best from A Philadelphia DJ
On my way home from work last night I stopped in at my local Wawa at Philmont Avenue and Byberry Road (Wawa is the best convenience store ever created for those of you not from the Philly area). While I was checking out, I bumped into one of my competitors… the owner of another local... Read More
April Fools Day
“Prejudices are what fools use for reason”. ~Voltaire “April 1, This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other three hundred and sixty-four”. ~Mark Twain “It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt”. ~Abraham Lincoln “They...

From Justin To Kelly… and Me
It was the Summer of 2003… I’ll never forget when Craig invited me to the after party for the premiere of “From Justin to Kelly,” starring none other than Cutting Edge Entertainment alum Justin Guarini and American Idol, Kelly Clarkson. I was fourteen at the time and a big fan of Justin’s. Needless to... Read More
Leila Miller – The Cairnwood Gala Pre-Blog
So I just got home from the 2009 Spring Cairnwood Gala. Last year, after doing the music program for the 2008 Spring Gala I wrote what at that time was my most carefully crafted blog to date (click here to view last years blog) . When I wrote it, I included all kinds of shout-outs... Read More
Your Wedding DJ… Are They Listening To You?
I recently received the strangest phone call from a distressed and flustered bride-to-be.

She went on to tell me that after speaking to her DJ (who... Read More

Why NOT TheKnot.com For Your Wedding Services
Cutting Edge Entertainment will not pay to advertise on TheKnot.com, and I’ll gladly tell you why. First, let me tell you about my own personal ‘first hand’ experience. Several years ago I did advertise on TheKnot.com. Their prices seemed reasonable and they weren’t terribly flooded with too many advertisers. I was required to use a... Read More
Big Joe Smith – YouTube’s ‘King Of Content’
Big Joe Smith, an Insiders Exclusive I used to be on YouTube. That statement in itself probably makes very little sense to most folks that would typically be reading this – my professional blog – so perhaps it needs a better explanation. Most people know YouTube as a place where you can see funny videos... Read More
EventQuip
I had the great pleasure of being invited to a luncheon this afternoon at EventQuip. What is EventQuip you may ask? Well, prior to my tour today I would have said it was a tent company. After touring their facility and seeing exactly what goes into what they do I would instead say that... Read More
From Philadelphia to Winnipeg, DJ Style
So this is a blog which is long overdue. Anyone who follows this blog probably already knows that I spent the first two weeks of February this year in Winnipeg, Canada. It was a vacation so it was primarily social, but the one thing I have learned from being in this industry for so many... Read More
