July 2008:

We mourn the loss of a former member of the Special Productions Family, Chris Telzerow. Chris was a member of the band Special Request from 1998-2004. After a very brave fight, he lost his battle with cancer on July 4. Our prayers and heartfelt sympathies go out to his wife Darlene and his 4 children.

Chris was an incredible talent and was well respected among the Cleveland musicians who knew him. The Cleveland music scene has lost one of its true gems. To hear a reminder of his amazing piano and vocal talents, click on the link below.

After the exchange of vows, the trumpets will introduce the newly married couple to the world as they make their way up to the Terrace Club. Once inside, everyone will enjoy cocktails and hors d'oeuvres while listening to the talents of the Special Productions Jazz Trio as they provide a smooth, sophisticated and relaxed atmosphere of celebration. The festivities will then move downstairs for dinner and dancing where the lucky Bride and Groom and their guests will enjoy the ultimate in wedding entertainment.
