Over my performing career, I’ve been lucky to entertain and create joy for thousands of people. From the stage, I have a vantage point. Whether it’s a heartfelt moment between the bride and groom during their first dance, grandparents leading the charge on the dance floor, or the best man doing the gator, I get to see it happen and watch the fun fill the room.

As a booking agent, my goal is always to help you set the stage for magical moments. As a participant in so many joyous celebrations it is natural for me to visualize the success of your party. While guests are always welcome on my stage, not everyone has had the opportunity to see from the front row just how much fun a group of people can have at a great party.

I thought about this while watching Kelly Clarkson’s latest video, Tie It Up. You can feel the excitement as she shows highlights from a bunch of successful receptions.The fun she showcases in the video shows the magic that can happen when your party boils over and takes on a life of its own that you and your guests will never forget.

And, of course, how could I do anything but endorse her advice—let’s hire a band!
