So we know, you go to all those lists online and you’re like huh what are you even talking about? Having entertained at over 500 weddings and events in 2018, the team at M.E. decided to assemble the Top 20 Most Hated Songs of 2018. With all these lists being created around the internet, we felt that the Tri-State area deserves a different, more realistic point of view on this subject. (We know you don’t want Hokey Pokey and the Chicken Dance) While this list might not pertain to everyone, it seemed to be the general consensus throughout many of the events we hosted last year. Let us know if you have any of your own that you’d like to add to this list and we’ll be sure to add it.

7 Trends for weddings in 2025
In the realm of event planning, the role of an emcee, or master of ceremonies, is indispensable. They are the guiding force behind the seamless execution of events, ensuring that everything flows smoothly and that the audience remains engaged. From the moment the event begins to its conclusion, the emcee is the voice and face of the occasion, setting the tone and atmosphere.
Live entertainment holds a unique charm that can significantly enhance the atmosphere of any event. The presence of a live band can transform a gathering from ordinary to extraordinary, creating an engaging and memorable experience for attendees. Unlike pre-recorded music, live performances offer a dynamic quality that captivates the audience, fostering interaction and participation. An event planning expert once noted, "There's something irreplaceable about live music; it brings a sense of immediacy and connection that recordings simply cannot." Research supports this notion, showing that live music significantly boosts guest engagement and satisfaction.
In the world of event planning, the role of a DJ extends far beyond simply playing music. DJs are the architects of ambiance, the orchestrators of timelines, and the catalysts for guest interaction, ensuring that every event becomes a memorable experience. Whether you're hosting a wedding in Verona, NJ, or a corporate gathering in Staten Island, NY, understanding the full range of services a DJ can provide is crucial for crafting a successful event. From setting the perfect mood to keeping the energy high, a skilled DJ is an invaluable asset in creating unique and unforgettable gatherings.
