How familiar is that statement?  How often do you as an Amusement Rental operator go to one of your friendly competitors and borrow or sub-contract a piece of equipment for an event?  Or better yet, sub-contract out that special "Jack Sparrow" character/entertainer for a child's party?  If you are at all like your colleagues in our industry you should find yourself in this situation on a fairly regular basis.  The question of the day is...how does this affect my company's liability and insurance?

The following information was sent to us by a production company developing a new show on double weddings.  Please email Andrew at the email below if you are interested in more information.

"A NY/LA based TV Production company is seeking couples or event coordinators who are planning a double wedding (two brides/two grooms or any combo!) within the next 6 months. We are also looking for newly-weds who held double weddings within the last few years.  Couples might be featured on a cable network documentary series. Your geographic location is unimportant, but willingness to share the process with our cameras at every stage is a must.  Please be outgoing, verbal, fun and a little "larger-than-life". Note: This is NOT a Bridezilla show looking to manufacture drama; we figure two brides is excitement enough!  Interested parties should be prepared to submit copies of photos/videos so we can get a sense of your personality, humor and romantic style.

Please reply via email to evidentent@gmail.com and more details will be sent your way. Thanks in advance for your interest!"
