Green Weddings What is Green Power? The term "green power" generally refers to electricity supplied in whole or in part from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, geothermal, hydropower, and various forms of biomass. Increasingly, electricity customers are being given electricity supply options, either as retail power markets open to competition or when their regulated utilities develop green pricing programs. More than 50% of retail customers in the United States now have an option of purchasing a green power product directly from their electricity supplier. In addition, consumers can support renewable energy development through the purchase of green energy certificates. Why do we buy Green Power for your wedding? By choosing to purchase a green power product, you can support increased development of renewable energy sources, which can reduce the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. Greater reliance on renewable sources also provides economic benefits and can improve our national energy security. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's web site provides an additional discussion of the benefits of renewable energy.  Or go to www.umdenergy.org/?page_id=12  Why have a Green Wedding? Reducing our carbon foot print is on all of our minds these days.  Every little bit helps, and simple decisions can have a huge effect down the road.  Custom Entertainment can help you bring a green wedding to an extra level. An acoustic act or band playing at your wedding or reception reduces your carbon footprint. Many of the performers working with Custom Entertainment require little or no amplification.  For example, Fiddle Hill's classic Irish music, or Intonition: an acoustic rock duo that performs covers and originals. If you prefer a disc jockey for your wedding reception, Custom Entertainment can supply a petite sound system with a great sound quality.  You can hear all your favorite songs and use less electricity than a traditional sound system would use.  Who  ever said that “going green” wouldn't be fun! Custom Entertainment is a GREEN Company. We buy Renewable Energy Certificates or REC's to offset your wedding's carbon footprint. We are proud to be one of the only entertainment companies in New England doing this.
