Andy Ebon

The presentation peels back the layers of the wedding industry: Brides, budgets (or lack thereof), selling, and the various interactions (functions and dysfunctions) of the wedding day participants (bride, groom, family, and wedding vendors).

Andy will discuss issues that most people just whisper about. His perspective comes from personal participation in close to 1000 weddings, as a DJ Entertainer, and close interaction with wedding industry businesses over three and a half decades.

His recurring theme..

“What’s in the best interest of the bride?”

… will resonant with you, long after the meeting concludes.

The presentation will be provocative, politically incorrect, and will surely give you pause.

Come to LVWN at The Platinum Hotel … invite an industry friend. Maybe two or three.
