Axtell Leadership Team
In an industry where change dominates the horizon,
we are proud to say the Axtell team has been in place for decades!
Rich Tatgenhorst – President/Owner
Rich hails from Cincinnati, Ohio where he comes from a background rich in music and theatre! In 1986, he came to Atlanta as the leader of a show band known as Kid Glove. After completing the stint at a local club, he joined the staff of Axtell Productions as a sales associate and put together a new band known as MOXIE. By 1992, he was promoted to Executive Vice President. In 1995, he purchased the company and has continued to operate the business under the same standard of excellence for which it has been known since it's inception in 1969. Under Rich's guidance, MOXIE also continues to grow in popularity among Atlanta brides and corporate clients.
Dianne McGarey, CMP - Senior Event Consultant
This Kentucky girl found her way to Axtell Productions in 1978 when she went to work for founder Bob Axtell as a sales representative. Upon Axtell's retirement in 1986, she bought the company along with a junior partner and expanded Axtell's repertoire of services from booking bands to total event production and management. In 1995, she sold the company to Rich Tatgenhorst and elected to continue her involvement as Senior Event Consultant. Dianne is a veteran producer of celebrity talent such as Kenny Loggins, Natalie Cole, Jim Belushi, and The Steve Miller Band.

In its inaugural year, the Bride's Choice Awards recognizes and honors vendors from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellent quality of service, responsiveness, professionalism, value of cost and flexibility. This year's recipients represent the top three percent of WeddingWire's vendor community, which includes over 100,000 wedding vendors from across the US. That means MOXIE is one of the very best in Wedding Entertainment.
Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the company, the Bride's Choice Awards are determined exclusively by recent newlyweds through surveys and reviews.
"We are excited to launch this annual award program to honor high-performing vendors based solely on the experiences of our WeddingWire community," according to Timothy Chi, WeddingWire's Chief Executive Officer. "This year's recipients have set the bar high, exhibiting excellent service and expertise in the wedding industry."
MOXIE would like to thank our past clients for speaking on our behalf and helping us win the 2009 and 2010 Bride's Choice Award!
