“Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time.” -John C. Maxwell

Kudus to Candy and Mark Vidovich and their incredible team at Pomptonian Food Service. I’ve had the pleasure of watching their company grow exponentially over the past 30 years. Pomptonian is a perfect example of how unwavering consistency in quality and service will yield success in the long run. *Both personally and professionally. 🙌

And thanks as always for another cool t-shirt to add to my triple decade Pomptonian collection. 😎

Quick shout out to Mother Nature for the picture day as we entertained 1750 guests at Van Saun Park. 🙏☀️

Onwards and Upwards...

As an event producer, I'm constantly striving for the trifecta. Successful collaborations, exceptional hospitality, and meaningful moments. When all that happens AND bringing awareness and we can support local veterans, it's no surprise that I'd be honored to keep doin' this for another 35 years. 🙏

We are two weeks away from The Celebrate Life Luncheon ’24! 🗓️

Our guest speaker will be entrepreneur and author of “10 Things You Can Do to Have a Better Day,” Michael Walter. Mike will be sharing tips on how to stay consistent once you’ve achieved your health and wellness goals. 🏃‍♂️

DJ Valentina and Jeffrey Scott Gould will be back again this year to make sure that our afternoon’s soundtrack and vibe are filled with style and positive energy. ☀️

If you’d like to be a part of the celebration and join 50 of our favorite VIPs from New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, scan the QR Code or text 732-547-1677. 🎉

Have a great day!

Cheers,

-Marcello and Dr. Jill

Colorado here we come! Dr. Jill and I are headed to Denver to speak at The PCC Physician Conference on July 19th. We will be presenting our Onwards and Upwards keynote and signing books for pediatricians from all over the country who are looking to prioritize their health and live their best life!

I love sharing healthy lifestyle and self-care tips with audiences from all over the world but when I get to team up and travel with my wife it’s like icing on the cake.

Onwards!!!

From New York City to Costa Rica, The Onwards and Upwards Book Tour continues... This particular visit back to Central America was a career highlight for sure. I spent the last week celebrating Women's History Month with some of the top female Chefs from The Culinary Art Institute of America at one of the most incredible hotels I've ever seen.

It was an honor to be The Master of Ceremonies for the finale dinner reception and auction where the generous donations of guests helped raise enough money to send a young aspiring female chef somewhere in the world a chance to get her education at the CIA!

When it comes to producing special events and entertaining guests, there's not much time to sit around. Fortunately, standing up has A LOT of benefits! Tune in to PIX11 News New York to see how The Celebrate Life Team at MMP Entertainment & Event Production stays healthy and ready for the next big event on the schedule!

Cheers! -m

"Stand up! 💪 Next Wednesday, March 6th, tune in to Pix 11 News New York at 4:45 pm to learn a few good reasons why standing up for yourself can help you live longer. ☀️ Arrianee LeBeau, Kendis Gibson, and I will be discussing why “sitting is the new smoking” and how things like using a standup desk and taking strategic stretch breaks can help reduce back pain, improve circulation, and enhance your ability to stay focused. 💡"

I always enjoy sharing stories about being an entrepreneur, discussing marketing, and reminding the next generation that college isn't their only option after they graduate high school. Special thanks to Dan Goodman for featuring a little of my journey online in Canvas Rebel Magazine. (below) ➡️

Education, inspiration, and fun. That’s what you get when Pomptonian Food Service Food Service hosts its annual Manager’s Meeting at The Westmount Country Club

As always, it was an honor and a pleasure to serve Mark and Candy Vidovich and their incredible team at Pomptonian as Master of Ceremonies and event producer.

This year’s production included an awesome keynote presentation from renowned speaker, Scott Chesney, whose documentary “Ride The Wave” was just released, and some motivational breakout sessions from Pomptonian’s own Rock Stars that helped their fellow team members go from Good to Great every day they show up for work.
Pomptonian Food Service continues to grow and show the world that the better you take of your team leaders, the better they will take care of their team and their customers.

Some people put everything they have into what they do. I watched my good friend, Jeffrey Scott Gould, go ALL IN for Jason and Lauren on their wedding day from 11 in the morning until 11 at night.

Jeff gets it. Beyond his inspiring talents as a seasoned performer and sound-tracking genius, he understands that being flexible, staying positive, and working harder than everyone else in the room are the key foundational elements for success if you want happy clients, smiling faces in the audience, and longevity in the special event industry.

I loved being a part of another SCE Signature Event collaboration and helping

If you ever find yourself in the Phoenix area of Arizona and would like to treat yourself, someone you love, or a special client to a little taste of luxury and first class experiences, I highly recommend the Arizona Biltmore, A Waldorf Astoria Resort. And, if you like to hike, check out Pinnacle Peak!

Cheers, -m

Give your client or that special someone in your life "an experience" vs. "a gift."

Whether you've been in business for 35 years like me or are just starting out, there will come a time when you'll need or want to show someone your appreciation. Or, perhaps someone special in your life has a milestone event or accomplishment they will be celebrating and you need to get them a "gift."

Well, you can't go wrong with a generic gift card or hand-written "thank you" note, but, you CAN take it up a few notches by getting your deserving recipient "an experience" instead.

If your special client or a person in your life, happens to like good food- like REALLY good food, then I highly recommend arranging for a professional chef to come to their home and cook a five course meal for them. The cuisine will be decadent, the ambiance will be relaxing, the conversation will lively, and the "experience" will not be forgotten because the menu and festivities will have been personalized to the guest of honor.

The next time you find yourself asking, "What should I get for (so and so), they have everything." consider hiring someone like my friend, Chef Dorant Wolfe, Trufflesnthyme, to give them an unforgettable and delicious experience.

Cheers, -m

“Marcello, we planned Zach's bar mitzvah with only you in mind as the leader. There are no words for what you did last night. You gave us the absolute best party, one that we, our family and friends, and especially Zach will treasure for the rest of our lives. In short, you kicked ass. All our love- Stephanie and Brian”

Times Square ticker centerpieces, an indoor race track, axe throwing, and cotton candy sculptures for dessert?!?! Sure, why not!! Just a few of the highlights from this fun and classy Matrix themed Bar Mitzvah. Mazel Tov to Zach and the Abrahams family. See you in 2026 for Spencer’s big day!

Special thanks to event planner extraordinaire Dayna Platnick and my super-talented friends over at Jersey Street, Andy Foster Photography, and Encore Catering for making this another exceptional collaboration.

You sure can learn a lot from your kids.

Despite the fact that she hasn’t yet gotten the lead role in a theater production or the big solo in one of her choir concerts, Isabella continues to show up and enthusiastically participate at every rehearsal and performance even if she only gets the part of Dopey’s understudy in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or “Pig #3” in the musical, Shrek. The feeling of camaraderie and community is what fuels her personal sense of joy.

As Konstantin Stanislavski once said, and as my high school drama teacher Peter Colleto always reminded us, "There are no small parts, only small actors."

Whether I have an event or speaking engagement with 50, 500, or 5000 people in the audience, I strive to always bring the same level of prep, energy, and commitment to each performance.

Shine on, honey. Thanks for the inspiration.

Onwards and upwards...

Enjoy your weekend, everyone.

Johhny Carson once said, “Never continue in a job you don’t enjoy. If you’re happy in what you’re doing, you’ll like yourself, you’ll have inner peace. And if you have that, along with physical health, you will have had more success than you could possibly have imagined.”

I agree 100%.

After 35 years in the entertainment and event production business, I’m grateful to still have the passion to create and 'enjoy' moments like these.

Cheers to Christina and Raf! 🥂 It was an honor to help you make this day happen. 🙌

Special thanks to Michelle from and Marissa from Detailed Events By Lo for making this another exceptional collaboration. And a shout out to Jason Nelson for bringing his positive energy and awesome talent to the celebration.

These were a few of my favorite pics from the day and here are a few comments from the new Mr. and Mrs. Castro. 💛

“Marcello, you are one of the most talented artists and are perfection at everything you do. My wedding wouldn’t have been half as what it was without you.

You worked so hard to make everything perfect, and it was. We truly appreciate you more than you know. You made IT ALL happen. You and your team executed all of the different elements seamlessly and literally made all my dreams come true. 💕

You are irreplaceable! I’m tearing up just thinking about how absolutely perfect everything was. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I will always remember what you did for us.
We love you, please stay in touch.

And if you ever want to change your career, you have impeccable photo skills. 😉😘

What a pleasure it was to serve the 2022 Think Tank Summer Symposium.

Dr. Jill and I spent this past week sharing lifestyle tips, energy management principles, work-life integration advice, parenting hacks, relationship truths, and business philosophy guidance with a group of extraordinary and entertainers in Riviera Maya, Mexico.

We are grateful for their first class and delighted that our new keynote presentation, “Onwards and Upwards” was well-received.

A special note of thanks to Ron Brown, David Meister, David Osborne, Amy Williams, Glenn Roush, Dylan Weisman, Robert Arthur, Mitch Taylor, Jeffrey Craig Siber, Matt Radicelli Josh Staley, Nate Nelson, and the entire Think Tank Team for making this experience so memorable for us as well. We appreciate you.

It's not Zihuatanejo, I don't think we'll run into Andy or Red, and hopefully we won't have to crawl through a sewage pipe to freedom, but, we're still really excited about delivering our new keynote presentation in Mexico on Monday to some exceptional entrepreneurs and entertainers from the Special Event industry. Onwards and Upwards!

Enjoy your weekend, everyone.
