SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
From Company Owner Chris DeGray

Dear friends, family, business associates, new inquiries, and existing clients:

It is with great excitement and sadness that I announce that Celebrations Entertainment will be closing effective January 1, 2009. After over 15 years in the DJ entertainment business, I am retiring to spend more time with my growing family. In February 2009 Beth and I are expecting our second son, and I have made the decision to retire to be able to watch my boys grow up and be around on the weekends after all these years.

At this time I am not taking any bookings for 2009 and beyond. After over 15 years in the business, I am retiring and I am only performing at bookings through 12/31/08. I am currently fulfilling all of my scheduled, booked performances through end of 2008. Due to my full schedule I do not have room for any further 2008 inquiries or events at this time.

I have made arrangements for another local DJ service to take over my client base. His name is Dan Cavanaugh, owner of “And the Beat Goes On” DJ service, and he is an incredible talent, person, and personal friend. He has performed at over 1,500 weddings in his career, and he is on the top of recommended vendor lists at every major banquet facility including: The Log Cabin, The Delaney House, The Hotel Northampton, and The Cranwell Resort just to name a few. Below is his contact information, and he comes with my highest personal and professional recommendation.

I will, however, continue to be a presence in the wedding industry as Mr. Cavanaugh and I have begun a new business venture together, www.amazingreceptions.net . It is a seminar series with a book writing in the works that draws on our combined 35 years in the wedding industry to help couples plan the perfect wedding day to create an "Amazing Reception".

All family, business contacts and friends may feel free to continue to contact me personally at the following email address: djcelebrations@comcast.net

Thanks to all who have supported me, recommended my business, hired me, and have been a part of my professional and personal life over the past 16 years. Special thanks to Celebrations Entertainment co-founder Tom Melbourne, who has continued to be a great personal friend as he continues his exciting new life near the West Coast.

Extra special thanks to my wife Beth who has supported me my entire career and raised Adam while I have been away at work every weekend. For every great wedding, for every full dance floor, for every award and recognition I have received in this business, 100% of my success comes from the love and support she has given me since the day I met her.

Best of luck to all, and thank you.

Chris, Beth, & Adam
