I know we are in a recession, and hopefully getting out of it,a bit to go yet but lets look forward now, but what a pity it would be not to get a DVD of your wedding, had a call today from a bride to be, she thought of not having a DVD with one thing and another, cost was her first concern,so we spoke about it, and I told her to think about it and call me back, ( I don’t like the power selling ) like ” you must book today” she called me back this evening and she booked me,

OK I know she priced around and was totally shocked with some of the prices she was quoted,1000 +as she explained to me he called it a “wedding story “and at the end of the day, like any other videographer you book,YOU get a wedding DVD !same shots, nice picture, great audio, but for a lot less than ?1000 +

Last Sunday Dundrum House Hotel wedding fair took place, WHAT A DAY !! There must have been 500 people in attendance , and with 35 standsto view there was some thing for everyone, we had a great day, asI said we hadnot attended a wedding fair for years, but this one was well worth it with bookings for local weddings in Dundrum, and some in other hotels,I brought a good supply ofsample DVDs and hand-outs, had to call home to get some more brought up at 3.30, speaking to other vendors on the day the news was very positive from them all, so thank you to all who called to our stand on the day.

OK Nows your chance to get some great prices in Dundrum on Sunday next from 12-6 pm. be sure to call over to our stand and say hello, as i said in an earlier post we will be giving some great prices on the day,……… and just to let you know well under E1000, and that is for our top package and of course as always with us we don’t charge you for travel !which will cover your day from the Church right up till late that night with a selection of dances,

Looking froward to meeting you all there.

Last week we filmed in Bru Boru, for the staging of Cashel Choral & Dramatic Society’s Autumn Production, “The Factory Girls” by Frank Mc Guinness, this is one of them shows that I enjoy each year,great cast and great people to work with which we have been for a lot of years now,a full house each night and a great night showing the D.V.D,

Another great show we look forward to is the Callan Presentation Secondary School Christmas show, a great bunch of girls each year put on a? Spectator Show, this year we have been booked for December the 17 Th, a date not to be missed ! a lot of other videographers expressed an interest in filming this show, but Callan school know just how we turn their Spectator show into a production to be proud of !!

Over the years the one show that stand out in my mind is the girls Primary School Christmas show in Cashel,I have been filming this for years,and boy do they rock it !

Cashel Panto after Christmas, what can i say about pantos ? one can see the amount of work , planning,time that goes in to a panto, with a huge cast , more on this later

I had a call today enquiring about prices, we spoke for a while on the phone asking where and when her wedding is arranged for, she got my name from a friend,so i gave her my price, in the course of the conversation I asked if she had priced around and she had done, but they were looking for travel as well,fair enough this wedding is outside the county just! but whats a few gallons of dieselI say if we get a booking……… I don’t want to be like our politicians claiming expenses for a quick trip up the road! first his ?price was high,then came in with the old line….but I charge travel after the first ….. miles” this put another E90 on to the price ! this is where fairness goes out the window !Rant over ( By the way I got the booking
