In A Funk
For the last few months I have been in a complete funk… not literally but musically. In the immortal words of George Clinton and P-Funk, “We need the Funk'” (or should I say ‘I’ need the Funk). I find myself listening to Parliament, Lakeside, The Gap Band, The Ohio Players, The Average White Band and... Read More
The Cairnwood Spring Gala 2008
Cutting Edge Entertainment recently had the honor of being chosen to create the music program and set the mood for a night in Epic France. On Friday evening, April 18 of 2008, Cairnwood was in all its glory, reminiscent of the delightful parties of Jay Gatsby. Built by John Pitcairn in 1895, Cairnwood sits high on a... Read More
Decorative Lighting
Lately (within the last eight months) the most popular trend in wedding enhancements seems to be decorative lighting. Whether it be up-lighting, pin-spotting, gobos or even effects lighting on the dance floor I would say that 75% of brides are asking questions in regard to lighting.

The Buck Hotel
Growing up in Richboro, Bucks County, as far back as I can remember there has always been The Buck Hotel. Certainly the Deer standing at the corner of Bridgetown & Bustleton Pikes was probably the only real constant, as the look of the building has changed dramatically over the years – but most dramatically since the...

Experience vs. Expertise
If I were to say that in my twenty plus years of working in the event industry in Philadelphia I think I have seen and heard just about everything… it would be time for me to retire. It has been my observation that the wedding and event industry is ever evolving – as time passes... Read More
BEN – A DJ WHO LOVES MUSIC
Hi Everyone! My name is Ben, and I am a Cutting Edge Entertainment DJ. Although I’ve been working at Cutting Edge since 2008 (and enjoyed every single moment), I only began working as an MC/DJ on my own events in 2012. In the years prior to that, I worked as a DJ assistant on countless... Read More
SHOSHANA: PHILADELPHIA’S MITZVAH MARVEL
I am the only female MC here at Cutting Edge Entertainment, and let me tell you that, in of itself, is a lot of work. I’m treated like the little sister; teased and picked on but very over-protected at the same time. I was fifteen years old when I came from another entertainment company, after... Read More

MARC – SOME THOUGHTS FROM A PHILADELPHIA DJ
As I sit here at Cutting Edge Entertainment on my week off (I’m a school teacher by day), I find myself looking back on my years as a DJ and MC. It all started way back in 1991, just a few months after my Bar Mitzvah when I took some of my gift money and... Read More
