In the world of sports, the success of a team on the field is often determined by the blood sweat and tears put in off the field...or in this case...ice. In most cases you could catch a team in the film room, out together for dinner, or even at a motivational seminar of sorts in an effort to build team chemistry. This past Monday, however, the Philadelphia Flyers were seen bonding close together not through a film study, but for a five hour winner-take-all poker tournament!

With wedding season still a few months away, it would seem to most outsiders that event planners would have a bit of downtime during this time of the year. However this is not the case for most pros involved in EBE. For example, Elaine Igoe was recently given the responsibility of planning this year's Soccer Product of the Year (SPY) awards show at the Philadelphia Convention Center.

Well, EBE had a blast at “The Bellevue Gets Engaged” February 28th. Here’s the press release and photos to give those of you who missed it a taste of the fun!

Recently, EBE’s Steve Meranus sat down with Ann Keeler Evans of Examiner.com to discuss some of the ins and outs of finding the right wedding music in the Philadelphia area.

EBE is helping sponsor this event… so if you’re planning to get married in the Philadelphia region in the next year or so, you should totally check it out!

Thanks to EBE party band Paris, the Food Network’s show Ace of Cakes got to rock out Philly style at a spectacular mitzvah celebration in Newtown, Pennsylvania.

Now that you’ve finished handing out candy to the last trick-or-treater and stowed your Naughty Nurse costume away ‘til next year, are you ready to launch into the whirlwind months of the holiday party season? Juggling family get-togethers, social obligations, and post-holiday party preparations in this generally hectic time of year can seem like a task more suited to a clown than a graceful host, but with some careful consideration, you can enjoy the holidays and still pull off a memorable event in style.

While the ball drops and fireworks begin decorating the wee hours of the new year, people around the world will cheer the arrival of 2009. Following all the hubbub of the holidays, New Year’s Eve can be a perfect opportunity to bring your friends together for one last ’08-style hurrah before you have to buckle down and work on those pesky resolutions. Although many such celebrations are decidedly adult-only, with a little careful planning, your New Year’s Eve party will thrill guests of all ages, ensuring fun for the whole family.
