Breaking Into...Event Planning -- In this episode Ncredible Network & Black Hollywood Live hosts Derrial Christon and Jessica King interview event planner David Merrell.

David E. Merrell, CEO & Creative Director of AOO Events, is more than a tastemaker; his experience and pedigree have elevated him and his company to preeminent status among his industry peers. He’s expected to nab many new awards this year having been nominated for more than 200 throughout his entire career. These include, but are not limited to in 2014, four (to be added to his 30 current awards) from Biz Bash magazine for Best Décor (High-tech Namaste wedding) and Best Social Event (50th anniversary party with Bruno Mars - May 2014), as well as, two “People’s Choice” awards representing an impressive body of work in social and corporate events. Merrell cuts a wide and diverse swath of accolades beyond just awards in “Best Events,” his citations of excellence include décor, wedding, entertainment, lighting design, and much more. From A– Z (well, “W”), clients have included Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences to Wolfgang Puck. He’s been transforming the market and captivating audiences worldwide for over 25 years to become one of the most sought-after designers, and further, regarded as a true pioneer of his time.
