A tribute to Jeff's father and two testimonials recognizing Jeff's professionalism
Jeff's dad passed away on 02/13/2010. Jeff has put a "photo tribute" together for his friends and family. We will post the tribute soon.
Jeff was hired to handle a wedding event on 02/14/2010 so he had to leave his mom, brothers and sister so he could be back in Los Angeles for the reception.
These are the "thank you" letters that the office received a few weeks later:
Our hearts go out to Jeff and his family.
I am very grateful and honored to have such dedicated and talented individuals working for Awesome Entertainment. I had given Jeff the option to stay with his family but he felt his dad would have wanted him to honor his commitment and Jeff believes in taking good care of his clients. - Mark Peace Thomas, Owner
Zan is THE MAN - Another great testimonial
Awesome Entertainment recently sent feedback forms for our events from late October 2009 through January 2010.
The first form was returned via fax for DJ-MC-Director Zan "The Man" and he remains as consistent as ever. Take a look...
N.A.M.M. Pics from 01/15/2010 - The Beat goes on.
Wedding Entertainment Director: Mark Peace Thomas and his buddy David Jay, attended the NAMM show on Friday 01/15/2010. They researched new software for disc jockeys, investigated new lighting options and ran into friends and colleagues. Here are a few photos from the day...
David Jay catches up with Drummer Rikki Rockett from the rock band: Poison.
Check out some of the USA custom handmade drums from Rockett Drum Works
OK, Rikki's drums are cool but these drums seemed to be created for DJ PEACE

Rock on in 2010. You can see more photos from NAMM at the blog of Mark Peace Thomas.
Zan continues to keep those cards and letters coming in
DJ-MC Zan was excited to get a card from Jodi & Blake. Not only are Jodi and Blake a good looking couple (Awesome Entertainment client's tend to be exceptionally good looking!) but their words helped make our holiday bright!

Mark Peace Thomas assisted DJ Zan "The Man" At the wedding which was held at: Dana Powers House in Nipomo, California.
DJ Webb gets a Pleasant Surprise over the holidays
DJ-MC Webb enjoys repeat and referral business from Awesome clients but is also known for appealing to vendors because of his attention to detail and ability to keep all professionals up-to-speed before making announcements. Here is a Christmas Card sent to Webb in 2009:
On behalf of DJ Webb, Awesome Entertainment thanks the crew at Pleasant Surprise Events and wishes them a prosperous 2010!
TheKnot.com at Dodger Stadium
The Knot held their annual vendor mixer this week. It was held at Dodger Stadium where I had the opportunity to take the tour of this historic venue. It was fun to see old friends in the wedding biz and meet new ones. Danielle Wagner, Catering Manager at the Waterfront Hilton in Huntington Beach, took this photo of me down on the field from her Blackberry....
Her friend, Vanessa Rockafellow from Cachet Wedding Design, used a more traditional digital camera and took this shot which spotlights the field behind me and has an E.T. sorta feel....
I said "hello" to Richard Blade the famous "Flashback DJ" from KROQ (now on Sirius XM). He now does weddings so he provided the music for The Knot's mixer.
A fun mix of food, drink and baseball history.
Zan in Central California
Zan the Man was asked to entertain at Jodi and Blake's wedding which took place at Dana Powers House in Nipomo, California. The ceremony was outside and the reception was held in the Barn. Jodi and Blake saw Zan at their friend's "Morro Bay wedding" and they loved Zan's energy and enthusiasm. Although, Zan has been based in Las Vegas for nearly three years, he is no stranger to travel since he remains popular in California.
In fact, In 2009, Zan has worked in Southern, Central and Northern California!
Here's a picture of Zan on August 15, 2009 with newlywed: Blake Vanderlei. Zan was preparing Blake with a wireless "lapel" microphone for the ceremony.
This photo demonstrates why we recommend using "Lapel" microphones for ceremonies:
No microphone, no stand, no equipment. Clean pictures and video with crystal clear sound.
Here's "The Wizard" behind-the-scenes. Zan is off to the side handling the two lapel microphones and music without affecting pictures or video.
Our goal is always to enhance EVERY aspect of your wedding!
DJ-MC Zan the Man and his assistant DJ Peace want to thank Jodi and Blake for letting us be a part of their big day!

Jeff handles his sister's love story
Here is a FULL LOVE STORY presented by DJ-MC-Director Jeff. Watch if you have 8 minutes.
Unfortunately the videographer did not understand what Jeff meant by a '3-shot' and cut the narrator out of most of the story
