“No mistakes in the Tango, Donna, not like life”

May 29, 2018

Welcome to the world of ‘no limits entertainment!’

This is a classic scene from “The Scent of a Woman.” Al Pacino’s character is blind. That doesn’t stop him from dazzling a young woman on the dance floor with a tango. She voices her concerns about making a mistake, which prompts Pacino to utter that famous line in the headline above. Here’s your takeaway: If you are planning a wedding, there is only one major mistake you can make, and that is to scrimp on the entertainment.

Seriously. Watch the video below as Pacino deftly guides the young woman, played by Gabrielle Anwar, through the intricacies of the tango even though she has never danced it in her life. The imperfections of her dance are invisible because Pacino knows exactly what he is doing and, as a result, he makes her look wonderful.

No limits entertainment!

That is what Scott Stevens Entertainment does for you: no limits entertainment that makes your wedding look and feel wonderful. Entertainment is the great equalizer at weddings. We know what we’re doing, which is to pack your dance floor and show your guests a great time, which makes YOU look wonderful!

Let’s go back to the Pacino video above. Did you notice the musicians? Very nice, except that 2 out of 3 brides prefer a DJ to live musicians according to a survey done by The Knot. There are good reasons why, beginning with price. DJ entertainment is affordable for everyone. And Scott Stevens Entertainment offers enhancements like lighting and photo booth that takes your celebration to a no limits level that makes the video above look like a bingo game at the old folk’s home.

No limits: we play any style of music!

There’s more. We can play more than tango music. In fact, we can play about anything you’d like. But if you like tango, you’re not limited to what a few string players with an accordion player can play. With Scott Stevens Entertainment, the sky’s the limit.

Do you like the tango music of the Italian chanteuse, In-Grid? Okay, you’ve got it!

How about a little Julie Iglesias? No problem!

How about some Michael Bublé? Your wish is our command!

Okay … that’s not really a tango, it’s the marimba. But that’s the whole point when you select Scott Stevens Entertainment: you’re not locked into a certain style of music all night long. The sky’s the limit … even with a limited budget … which is 99% of the brides in America!

If you and your betrothed know your way around the dance floor, well, just let us know. We’ll have the music you need to allow you to live out your “Zorro” fantasy and look just like Antonio Banderas and Katherine-Zeta Jones on the dance floor … or whatever style of music is your fantasy.

When you go with Scott Stevens Entertainment, there are no limits on your fun. And if you’d really like to dance as well as Pacino, check out the awesome dance instruction provided by our associate, Piper Landis. Or call her directly at 931-319-6000.
