It is with great excitement that I introduce you to Bela Sono Music. This new venture is exciting, and promises to bring a unique approach to how wedding music is thought about and performed. But the start of this new opportunity is not, and could not have been possible without many years of support from an immeasurable number of people. So today, we begin with a thank you.
I offer a thank you to all of the couples that I have been lucky enough to perform for over the years. I have learned and grown from every single one of your weddings. It is my sincere hope that you reflect on your wedding celebrations with great memories of family, friends and great times. But I have also enjoyed every moment of watching you celebrate. My passion for this business comes from the energy that I receive back from a group of people having the time of their lives on the dance floor. That energy is what has always kept me coming back for more, and continuing to pursue this dream.
I offer a thank you to all of the wedding partners I have worked with over the years. A wedding is an elaborate puzzle of different types of vendors working together to create a great evening. Photographers, videographers, venue and catering teams, florists, bakers, planners, coordinators and many others all work together in harmony for the best overall outcome. Your team spirit in coming together for a great celebration is critical to the success of the day. I always share with my clients that if they have a great team of vendors in place, even if things get a bit off-script, the final product will still be excellent. You all make that possible.
I want to thank the other DJs that have provided me with the opportunity to learn and grow my skills over the years, particularly Chris Laich. I have been impacted profoundly by other great entertainers, and learned more every step of the way. Your contributions to my development as a DJ and a business person have forever changed what I believe a DJ can and should be in providing wedding entertainment.
Last, but certainly not least, I thank my beautiful wife Celia and my family. Your unwavering support of my efforts over the years have meant the world to me. Without your help and encouragement along the way, I would have never been able to keep pushing myself to new heights. All of this is possible because of you.
I cannot wait to see what this next chapter holds, but it is with fond memories that I reflect on the road that has brought me here. Thanks, and lets build something great together!
