{ A Night with Peter Merry }

On Sunday, I had the pleasure of meeting Peter Merry, author of "The Best Wedding Reception...Ever!".  It was an interactive and casual dinner with other local DJ's and wedding planners.  For those who don't know who he is, Peter is a world renowned DJ from California, who helps couples create fun and entertaining wedding receptions.  His down-to-earth and humourous personality is what makes him unique.  He is not only a DJ and author but is also a speaker on wedding entertainment, and was even a guest on Oprah.

During dinner, he spoke about passion and how it leads to our own success.  So long as we are continually reminded of this passion, we will continue to be successful at whatever we do.  Each of us then had a chance to talk about our own passion and our own experiences.  It was great to hear other people's stories. 

The experience was just motivational and inspiring.  In addition to having that passion for what we do, I also learned that wedding receptions are not only about the linens, and the flowers, and the decor.  The music is equally as important, and sadly sometimes, it is overlooked.  Music does wonders.  It creates the mood, the energy but can also be a creative way to creating lasting memories with those you love.
