A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR STEVE BERGERON

When I set out to write this book about the inside secrets to planning wedding receptions I wondered if I’d earned the right to talk about the wedding reception planning topics I present in this book. I then had to take a step back and remind myself that I have been the wedding reception DJ for over 1,000 wedding receptions in my ongoing career.

Not a whole lot of people in the wedding reception business can say that. Whenever I read a column in a Wedding magazine I always wonder what kind of experience the writer has. Was the article written from personal experience or from doing research? And if it was from personal experience is their article based on only one incident. I wonder!

I subtitled this book “Real Ideas from the Trenches” for a reason. It is because I am not a column writer who happens to be interested in wedding receptions. Rather, I am someone who has lived and breathed wedding receptions every weekend since 1987. Always the first to arrive and the last to leave I have seen it all. Now I want to share what I’ve learned about wedding receptions with you.

BUT WAIT!

I am well aware that as a bride or groom planning for a wedding reception you are a very busy person. Whether work, family, school or other factors I know that you have your hands full as you plan for your wedding reception. I promise this book “Wedding Reception Secrets Revealed” will be an easy read. I t is not a lengthy scientific book full of theories and fodder. In fact, this book about planning wedding receptions contains no fluff and will get to the point quickly. What you can expect from “Wedding Reception Secrets Revealed” are tips and anecdotes that you can use to plan for your very own successful wedding reception.
Good luck to you and I wish the very best in all of your wedding reception planning!
