This Sunday is the Nashville Perfect Wedding Guide (#NashPWGShow) show taking place at The Music City Center. The PWG shows started in 2011 and have quickly became the “must attend” show in the Nashville market. The winter shows have over 1,000 brides coming through the door. As a vendor I personally find these shows a tad overwhelming. If I find them overwhelming and I am in the business and already married….I KNOW YOU as a bride must feel overwhelmed. The summer shows offer a more intimate experience to connect with the vendors and we will try to alleviate some of the headaches by offering you 5 Bridal Show Survival Tips. Lace up your heels and get ready for action, we plan on getting you through this weekend like a hero!

2009 was our first year in the Photo Booth business and what an amazing journey we have been on since that time. In 2009 we had around 10 photo booths for the entire year. To put that in perspective, in 2013 we had well over 100 booth rentals. I share those numbers to illustrate simply how popular the photo booth has become in the last 5 years. As a Nashville DJ company that focuses on entertainment in general…the photo booth has been the most exciting and most explosive growth in our business. I wanted to share our experiences and give you The Top 5 Reasons You Need A Photo Booth At Your Next Event

At Snyder Entertainment we offer ALLof our clients access to the most expansive music planning service in the industry. We setup “Must Play” lists and “Do Not Play” lists, even dedications. Remember, you are celebrating an absolutely incredible day and people are coming to celebrate with YOU! Friends and family will always get out and celebrate on the dance floor because that is why they sent in the RSVP in the first place. Go ahead, choose all of the music YOU like because you are the guest of honor.

Have you ever thought about your reception as NOT being a big deal? You were excited about the engagement, you were excited about the planning and you were excited ultimately about getting MARRIED! This blog post is a reminder about the celebration of marriage and some additional things to put on your preparation list. It might just give some ease in planning your reception, after all, it’s not that big of a deal compared to marriage. This week we have a guest blogger Stu Gray. Stu married his wife Lisa in a castle just outside New Orleans, Louisiana 11 years ago (You’ll never guess who their wedding officiant was!). Now they encourage married couples with a podcast and blog at Stupendous Marriage

When we started making plans for 2014 and how we could offer our clients the most extensive offerings for entertainment options; we knew that live music was a high priority. In the recent years we had partnered with some high level talent and wanted to be able to bring that into the Snyder Entertainment umbrella. First and foremost we wanted to ensure talent was top notch, presentation was second to none and we could offer these services exclusively. It brings a smile to my face to let you know that we now can offer options for you when you are leaning towards live entertainment.

 you grew up in the 80′s or simply love the 80′s you might think I am referencing a classic song from Tesla. Although I love that song, I am speaking about a really cool trend taking place at so many weddings…and that is simply the use of signs at your event.

One thing I personally love about working in the event industry is checking out all of the incredibly cool venue places in and around town. Many times we get a chance to see the “guts” of a venue and you really see all of the planning that went into these buildings. Sometimes it is the craftsmanship, sometimes it is the decor…other times it is just simply the magic of the building. As a person who really enjoys watching movies and appreciates the history of Hollywood along with its impact on our society, I was so excited to be a part of a vendor showcase recently taking place at The Capitol Theatre in Lebanon, Tn.

This past week most of the Snyder Entertainment team had the good fortune of traveling to Las Vegas to catch the Mobile Beat 2014 DJ conference. It is one of the largest DJ conferences in the world and always a great time to unwind, connect with industry friends, and to expand our skills.
