" Bernanke Warns of Possible Recession"

HELLO!

I don't know where Federal Reserve Board Chairman Bernanke's been lately, but I think everybody knows that the "possibility" of a recession is more like a reality. What I once saw(as well as many of my fellow wedding Dj brethren)as a somewhat recession proof industry is even feeling the crunch. Higher gas prices, a mortgage industry in a bind, slumping stock prices or world economics? I don't know. I'm just a simple music man who has seen a drop in an industry that has steadily risen for the past 8 years at a phenomenal rate, take a down turn. Oh, the daily inquiries still come in everyday, but it's for couples looking at next year or even 2010 to get married not because they can't afford their dream wedding. But because they don't feel comfortable with how they're going to financially make it after they say their " I Do's".

Well at least RiverCity Entertainment can help with the now's, which might help with the then's.

We've started a new program that hopefully we can get the industry's attention. Simply, book something now, and rather then have that gigantic headache of a tab the weekend of your wedding, spread it out over the remaining time. A little at a time, No interest, No penalty, and No worries. Mainly because, I feel your pain and worries everyday.

Just some more thoughts!
