A: Kathleen Kelly Finley Catering: Music, music, music.

A: Hillary Lutz Estia Restaurant: Excellent food.

A: Barbara Matousch Ballroom & Theater at Collingswood: Music for each age group played throughout the evening: some older folks want to dance all night long, as well as the younger ones.

A: Jake Miller Lucien's Manor: A DJ.

A: Brian Toner Eventions Productions: A sexy-looking room or venue.

A: Nick Waller Radisson Hotel Valley Forge: A cool, fun drink and an interesting room layout.

A: Michael J. Weinstein MJW Calligraphy, Inc.: The invitation-it really sets the tone for the party. Hand calligraphy is obviously more expensive than laser-calligraphy or labels, but it is so much more elegant.
