MB Chicago, Facebook and July Weddings

Wow! July just seemed to fly right by didn’t it? As I write this it is the evening of July 28th, 2008 and I am already meeting with September brides to plan their wedding receptions. Where did the summer go? We had a great 4th of July party with roughly 50 people in attendance. The following weekend was the Maki Michaud wedding in Marquette at the Holiday Inn and a great time was had by all. Lee Haynes of Legend Entertainment performed a wedding in Escanaba the same night and then he stayed over at my house as we were leaving at 6am the next morning to go to Chicago for the Mobile Beat Summer Convention. We had decided a few months earlier to catch a ballgame at Wrigley Field since I had never been before while we were down there. We got there just in time to catch the “L” train to go to Wrigley and met up with George and Ben from Elite Entertainment in Detroit at the hotel before we went to Wrigley. Afterwards, we came back, ate at Outback Steakhouse and had a great time. I decided to truly make this a business trip and met with three current clients that live in the Chicagoland area while I was there and basically kill two birds with one stone. The next day Rod, Joe, Aaron and Fletcher from Music Box Productions showed up and we, along with Lee, George and Ben proceeded to have a great time at the convention learning, hanging out and catching up on old times. My clients the following weekend were Kara Leonard and Andie Bartoszek. What a great couple! We had so much fun at their wedding and as always it was great to be back at the Terrace Bay Inn again. July 25th I performed for Stephanie Ross and Chad Miron at their reception at the Little Bear West Ice Arena in Manistique. Chad and Stephanie had a very intimate reception and a lot of love was shared. We even surprised Chad with a birthday cake just before the cake cutting ceremony as he had chosen to get married on his birthday as well. I just recently joined Facebook and it’s amazing the friends you connect with after so many years of not keeping in touch. Feel free to visit me there as well if you wish by searching my name Mitch Taylor. This weekend I am off to Marquette to entertain for the Heitmeier and Krah families. Vallery and Brian have an amazing reception planned and it looks to be a lot of fun! Stay tuned!
